4.0 out of 5 stars experience, November 1, 2000

Augustus Pablo, recently deceased of a nerve disorder, was an influential dub artist with many good releases. This title gives a good representation of his work while also displaying his vast experience and inate talent. While, as with almost any album some tracks are stronger than others, I'll let you decide which. I can say however that this is a great overall album. If you are new to dub reggae or Augustus Pablo, this is a MUST have-you won't be sorry.

4.0 out of 5 stars unique sound, August 20, 2001

This is a nice collection of stuff he's done over the years with his trademark melodica sound weaving its way throughout the album. Overall this is a great, trippy, relaxing reggae/dub album. Not all songs are great (I found the songs with vocals to generally be pretty weak). Augustus is a great doorway into the world of dub, and this is album in particular is a good choice.
