5.0 out of 5 stars 100% of ROOTS, March 22, 2004

If you are looking for a dub record but are hesitant to buy anything you have not yet heard, go ahead and add this to your cart without worry. Keep checking your mailbox every day because you are in for a superior "nice time" listening to this record.

This album is especially good for reggae newcomers who need to go beyond the immortal Bob Marley and the Wailers and get into some roots dub music. In fact, it features music by Carlton and Aston "Family Man" Barrett -- drummer and bassman for the Wailers, as well as Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, who formed the rhythm section for both Peter Tosh and Black Uhuru. These two rhythm sections are the premier drum and bass duos from reggae history. You cannot find more roots "riddims" anywhere.

And there is no one who can dub it out like King Tubby. He is the original King of spaced out, echo chamber dub music. If you are a seasoned reggae / dub enthusiast, this record will give you that old time feeling like when you first discovered dub. Remember when you used to come home from the party and put on your headphones as you passed out? It's all in this record. Some of these songs have appeared on compilations over the years, but this is the quintessential collection of King Tubby dub stylee.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, consistent dub, March 3, 2004

I rank this on the same level as the venerable "Dub Gone Crazy" album. It delivers lots of deep bass, great dub mixing, and does it consistently- there are no "throw away" tracks.

Tubby uses light vocals throughout; a singer is usually only brought in to be thrown into an echo chamber 5 seconds later.

This is easily in my top 5 dub albums, along with "Freedom Sounds In Dub", "Bring The Dub Come", and the aforementioned "Dub Gone Crazy". It also has the best opening of any dub album I've heard.

It doesn't get any better when the bass is shaking your ribs, and Tubby flips on that test tone. And this happens more than once in "100% of Dub".

King Tubby is one of the greatest dub masters of all time, surpassed only by his protoge the master Scientist. This album has serious dub boomers all around. Classic dub style with fat, FAT, bass and deep echo.
