Good backgrounder, May 30, 2005
This review is from: Run It Red (Audio CD)
If you're looking for a good backgrounder in dub, then this is a pretty good place to start. There are a lot of traditional names here, providing any person new to the music with a solid foundation for future listening.
The only problem I have is that even though Mick Hucknall is a really into dub and cites King Tubby as worthy of a statue next to Bob Marley, there should have been a little more variety to the cd. There is a lot of King Tubby here and some of his proteges, like Jammy, so you kind of get stuck in one style when a CD like this is supposed to cover a lot of bases.
Anyway, a good listen and with 19 tracks, worth the cash.

excellent compilation, January 14, 2008
This review is from: Run It Red (Audio CD)
This is, perhaps, my favorite Blood and Fire selection. Pretty much every single track has something going for it. Great mellow dub sound. Nice versions of many classic dub licks. I would recommend this album both for someone looking for a well-rounded introduction to dub/reggae, as well as for those already familiar with the classics. My favorite tracks on this album are: Guidance Dub, Bring the Mackaback (version of Fisherman), Rock Vibration.
