4.0 out of 5 stars The Master's Versions, June 7, 2000

By	Oliver J. Little (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This is some of the best dub music to be found anywhere. King Tubby, master (and inventor!) of most of the tricks of the dub trade, showcases his talents as he mixes down some roots gems... the resulting dub tracks are tremendous in both their raw power as well as in their texture and subtlety. Vocals, guitars, and hi-hats are deftly woven in and out of tracks built upon a solid foundation of rich, deep bass and drums that are at times punchy, other times "wet"-sounding they reverberate so much. For those who really get into it, I'd recommend "Jesus Dread" by Yabby U: most of the tracks on "Prophesy" appear here in their vocal/original versions (with other versions included featuring a veritable who's-who of Dub & Roots artists and producers).

5.0 out of 5 stars Riviting&Minimal, September 7, 2002

By	ahhsoomanybooks (Japan) - See all my reviews

I agree with everything the previous reviewer said..except that he only gave the album 4 stars. Definately some of Tubby's most driving and minimal works. If your're ready to sit back and let the subtlety of Tubby's masterful work on the controls pull your heart and your head to the beat then buy this album! Listen to track #2 and if you don't feel how the keys just pull you along...then don't buy this album, cuz you aint feelin it...no offence to you. This album is one of my all time favorites.
