On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Dubtember 6, Twenty-five

I've shared The Rootsman before here & here as well as numerous links in comments that you'd have to follow the trail & pick out the links for yourself if you're interested. 

 

 



The Rootsman is Edinburgh, Scotland born John Leo Bolloten, musician & DJ based out of Bradford, England. The Rootsman is a radio host, Razor X Productions Sound System wizard, founder of Third Eye Misic, former Muslimgauze collaborator, & all around musical genius. 

He has recently announced on his Bookface page that he is retiring from music at the end of this year, so if you get a chance to see him do his thing before then, I highly advise you do so.

On this one, all tracks The Rootsman except track 1 - Oochi, track 5 with Monument, track 9 with Dayjah & the Disciples, track 11 with the Disciples, track 15 - Strongpoint, & track 16 - Dub Chandra. Produced by the Rootsman. 

 

The Rootsman - Third Eye Dimensions, Echo Beach EB011, 1997.

    Once again you provide a much needed, highly welcome lesson in 'music that Muster is profoundly deficient in'. For which, i am as ever your humble servant, etc etc.

      Richard, maybe someone who visits here can help you out. I have 1990 Hyer Beatles at 192Kbps only. Good luck with this.

      It s really sad to hear he s retiring.He have so much stuff to deliver,and he has so many followers in Europe and all around the world....I wish him all the best,if it have anything to do with health,to recover very fast...I love his approach of the dub music along with Russ D ,they went far beyond the horizon and it s makes their productions amazing...UK as a whole did preserve the world dub heritage and take the standard very high...

      Thank you. I am making a special about high-brow, arty-farty, upperclass, fluxus-de luxes kind of covers and here are some great ones. Bertram Turetzki did a Mingus (I have) and any more suggestions are welcome)
      Philip Glass did Bowie's Heroes LP (that did not turn out well) Mal Waldron doing Satie swings as the proverbial tit

      The Rootsman is always a favorite around here. Couldn't pass up his Echo Beach offering while doing these. Thanks, brother.
