5.0 out of 5 stars As good as dub gets, October 6, 2007

I have several Twilight Circus albums and my old favorite used to be volcano dub but this album even betters that. One thing I like about Twilight Circus is that it is very similar in sound to the original dub, minimizing the newer electronic tools that is so common in modern dub. Upon listening to Volcano Dub I began to think that this man was approaching the masters (tubby, perry, mad professor) but I can honestly say that Dub From the Secret Vaults is better than anything those greats has ever done. In my mind this is the best dub album I have heard. A must purchase. Great variety from faster, loud, noisy songs to mellow lovemaking tunes.

Remove all doubts. This is top-notch heavy dub.
Take it from a guy (me) who is brutal when it comes
to programming-out weak or vocal-ruined tracks...this CD needs no
programming. It is A+ all the way. Clean heavy dub,
no distracting vocals (the opening snippet from Big Youth
doesn't detract, it's just a few seconds). This is tasty
soulful dub, heavy & rootsy, with feeling, and gives your sub-woofer something to do...
SO if you had any doubts about purchasing this,
REMOVE ALL DOUBTS. It's even better than Twilight Circus's
Volcanic Dub.

This is intricate, contemporary, yet old school flavoured dub brilliance.

I have only recently fallen in love with Dub after purchasing Lee Perry's 'Dub Trip-tych' (three albums of early to mid seventies, raw, wonderful dub) and after hearing that assumed I'd be something of a purist; only really digging the oldest, rawest dub sounds. This is my first exception. I even dig the two eighties tracks that have a very eighties drum sound- something not always congruous with classic dub. You can hear the artist's reverance for the dub tradition strongly throughout this compilation. Nice and heavy and trippy!
