And Scientist...

 

An inevitable match-up. This one is a true heavyweight clash. Two giants of Dub, Mad Professor & Scientist meet up to exchange chops. Even Lee Perry vocals find their way in on this hotplate, when the two engineers meet at the Dub Table in Ariwa Studio's. The riddims are varied, some are mixed crucially where others might very well be filed into the "reggae instrumental" category.

Dubtember 12

Today's offerings are Dubly Beloved Scientist & Newcomer to NSS Delroy Witter. 

 

Everybody surely knows Scientist around here. He is my preminent choice as heir to King Tubby's throne. He burst onto the scene in the mid 70s with a reckless mixing style pushing even the boundaries expanded by King Tubby's wild extravaganzas. Born Hopeton Overton Brown, he began his career as an engineer at Studio One, then soon after at Tubby's in the late 70s as the protégé of one Osbourne Ruddock aka King Tubby.

These two offerings have Scientist teaming up with Dubiterian, who is Marc Richard Brehmer of Germany, a Dub producer & melodica specialist as well as owner of Dubiterian Records.

Word, Sound, & Power's line-up was Sly & Robbie, Al Anderson, Mikey Chung, Robbie Lyn, Keith Sterling, Uziah Thompson, & Noel Simms. After Sly & Robbie began touring with Black Uhuru in 1979. They were replaced by Carlton "Santa" Davis on drums & George "Fully" Fullwood on bass. Witter named this new line-up World Sound & Power for this second Mawamba Dub release.

Ask Mr.Science

Moved from the left to the right coast last summer. This year will be my first indoor grow. Don't have any knowledge as Cali was all open-air. Been playing the girls a heavy heavy rotations of Dubwise. They feel the bass throb & JA vibe to their roots. They seem to be really responding to these two. Flabba's bass is divine.

Hope you mere mortals enjoy it as well as the alien breed does... 

 

Both of these were recorded at Channel One Recording Studio & mixed at King Tubby's Studio with Roots.Radics.

Roots Radics here are: Noel 'Sorvell' Bailey - lead guitat; Eric 'Bingy Bunny' Lamont - rhythm guitar; Gladstone 'Gladdie' Anderson - piano; Wycliff 'Steely' Johnson & Winston Wright - organ; Errol 'Flabba' Holt - bass; Carlton 'Santa' Davis - drums & Noel 'Skully' Simms & Christopher 'Sky Juice' Blake - percussion.
