Urb magazine might have tagged Dr. Israel as the "dub-reggae connection," but on Inna City Pressure, Israel is really the dub-everything connection--jungle, hip-hop, breakbeat, reggae. Israel tries his hand at all styles, mixing up a crazy hybrid animal in each song. Curiously, Israel's attempts at the most straightforward of the genres, like dub and reggae, fare the worst--his "Hey, mon" feels more like a shtick, partially because of weaker production techniques and an overdone politicized message. But when the producer tries his hand at the weirder end of electronic music, it sometimes turns out wonderful. You get the feeling that if Israel hasn't quite hit the nail on the head, with a little luck and perseverance, he'll eventually build the musical castle of his (and our) dreams--a place where musical boundaries cease to exist. --Tricia Romano

I first heard Dr. Israel doing Brain Damage on Dub Side of the Moon, the reggae version of the Pink Floyd album. After listening to him, I had to get his CD. This one is outstanding. It has a very complex beat that I have yet to tire of listening to, and I've had the CD for a few years. This is timeless music.

WELL, THIS COLLECTION OF SONGS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I LOVE DUB, AND REGGAE, AND PUNK AND JUNGLE TRIP HOP TECHNO STUFF, AND SOMEHOW DR. ISRAEL BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER.....DEEP DUB BASS LINES GET PUSHED OVER THE EDGE WITH TRIPPY DRUM LOOPS, GUITAR, AND SERIOUSLY TIGHT PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES...AND STELLAR VOCALS FROM THE DR. AND SOME BEAUTIFUL FEMALES ON BACKUP. ADD RANCID INTO THE MIX AND LORD KNOWS WHO ELSE AND OUT COMES THIS CLASSIC...I STUMBLED ACROSS IT AND I KEEP COMING BACK TO IT, TIME AND AGAIN, BECAUSE OF ITS POWER, FLUIDITY, AND HEART.
IT'S FAIRLY UNIQUE AND SCRATHES AN ITCH THAT FEW, IF ANY, CAN....

Since the first day I heard this CD, I've listened to it daily ever since. It's totally addicting - get it, you won't be sorry or bored with it after awhile.
