Dub Side of the Moon

Dub Side of the Moon (2003) more music like this

by Easy Star All-Stars

It was one of those really stupid ideas that we can all be grateful someone had the guts to follow through with. Yes, it's a reggae version of the Pink Floyd classic Dark Side of the Moon, every track drastically reworked and presented in the same order as on the original album. And yes, it works far, far better than you'd have any right to expect ...

Streetcore

Streetcore (2003) more music like this

by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros

Like Muddy Waters, whose final albums were among the best in his catalog, Streetcore by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros (Martin Slattery, Tymon Dogg, Simon Stanford, and Scott Shields) sends Strummer into rock & roll heaven a roaring, laughing, snarling lion. Unlike the previous Mescaleros outings, which were rooted in various world and folk musics ...

Laika Come Home

Laika Come Home (2002) more music like this

by Space Monkeyz Vs. Gorillaz

The enormous success of Gorillaz' self-titled debut spawned a couple of collections from the animated hip-hop group as a way of satisfying their public until their Svengalis, Dan "The Automator" Nakamura and Damon Albarn, could reconvene to deliver new material. G-Sides was a more or less straightforward B-sides collection, while Laika Come Home ...

The Future Is Unwritten

The Future Is Unwritten (2007) more music like this

by Joe Strummer

This musical accompaniment to director Julian Temple's biopic of the late Joe Strummer obliterates the traditional soundtrack formula, turning the whole listening experience into an 80-minute radio show, hosted by the inimitable singer/producer/punk rock icon himself. Strummer, a lifelong devotee to the power of radio (he would often bring a ...

Countryman

Countryman (2005) more music like this

by Willie Nelson

Countryman was first brainstormed by Don Was and Chris Blackwell way back in 1995 and was originally intended for release on Blackwell's Island Records. Work began in 1996 with Don Was producing, but the project almost immediately fell victim to label monkey business, and sat on Nelson's back burner for nearly a decade, until Lost Highway hired ...

Arkology

Arkology (1997) more music like this

by Lee "Scratch" Perry

Purportedly the definitive Lee "Scratch" Perry compilation, the three-CD set Arkology is loaded with good intentions and is carefully constructed, but with a back catalog like Perry's -- where it's nearly impossible to find out what's what -- definitive in this case is a dream. Still, the compilers have done a fine job of providing an overview of ...

Dub Revolutionaries: Sly & Robbie Meet the Mad Professor

Dub Revolutionaries: Sly & Robbie Meet the Mad Professor (2004) more music like this

by Sly & Robbie/Mad Professor

Anyone expecting the outright weirdness of Mad Professor's Dub Me Crazy series is going to get a shock with this. The dream team meeting of the Professor with reggae's ace rhythm section Sly & Robbie and veteran sax man Dean Fraser is a lighter dub disc, with a strong rockers rhythm feel about it (mostly due to Sly Dunbar, who is the heir to Tony ...

Hail H.I.M.

Hail H.I.M. (1980) more music like this

by Burning Spear

Across five seminal albums, Burning Spear would do more than just define roots; he would leave a fiery legacy that no other artist has equalled. Kicking off with the stunning Marcus Garvey in 1975 and encompassing the equally exceptional string of Man in the Hills, Dry & Heavy, Social Living, and Hail H.I.M., the final album in this series of ...

The Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this

by Lee "Scratch" Perry

There are so many Lee Perry compilations out there, and some of them are so good, that it's hard to take seriously any one that claims to be the "ultimate." And to be completely fair, it probably isn't possible to compile the ultimate Perry collection on a single disc; there's simply too much material out there, and too much of it is too good. But ...

Freeman (2003) more music like this

by Burning Spear

Perhaps the most amazing thing about Burning Spear is how little his approach has changed after nearly 40 years as a recording artist. His themes and concerns -- freedom, self-determination, equal rights -- have remained constant, and he sticks pretty close to his original musical template of slow to mid-tempo roots rhythms with plenty of horns ...

Return of Django (1969) more music like this

by The Upsetters

This record from the Upsetter's catalog contains some of his best-known work from the end of his ska period. Included are tracks like "Return of Django" and "Cold Sweat," both significant hits for Scratch. Soon, very soon, Perry would move afield from what is here, moving toward something this record only drops dark hints about. For those who love ...

The Best of Studio One (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

The partnership between the American Heartbeat label and legendary producer Clement "Coxsone" Dodd has resulted in some of the finest reggae reissues of the past 20 years, as Dodd has provided vintage master tapes that Chris Wilson and his staff at Heartbeat have remastered, annotated, and compiled with loving care. Best of Studio One, originally ...

Trojan 35th Anniversary (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Britain's Trojan Records licensed Jamaican records for distribution during the 1970s and 1980s, and the massive vault of Trojan titles has been released and recombined in endless ways ever since, including a series of small box sets, three discs to a box, that center on one style or theme. There is really no theme to the Trojan 35th Anniversary ...

Destroys the Invaders (2007) more music like this

by Prince Jammy

Released the same year he was working with Black Uhuru and fellow dub producer Scientist, Prince Jammy's 1982 effort Destroys the Invaders borrows Scientist's love of space noises and quirky, themed albums -- in particular, Scientist Meets the Space Invaders. Plenty of laser beams are added to Jammy's usual minimal dub but if Scientist tried to ...

Soundclash (1989) more music like this

by Renegade Soundwave

Recycling American hip-hop and British dub to form their own unique sound aesthetic, Renegade Soundwave cover a lot of territory on their debut album. Though the rapping is subpar, productions like the opener "Blue Eyed Boy" (featuring the same sample later used by Public Enemy for "By the Time I Get to Arizona") and their cover of the old English ...

The Good the Bad and the Funky (2000) more music like this

by Tom Tom Club

This aptly titled release from '80s art rockers and Talking Heads side project Tom Tom Club is indeed good, bad, and funky. Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz have explored a stunning amount of musical styles within the confines of this album, with every song sounding like it was produced by a different group. The use of a variety of vocalists, ...

The Best of Studio One Collection [Box Set] (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Founded in 1963, Clement Dodd's Studio One was Jamaica's first black-owned recording facility, and it is virtually impossible to imagine modern Jamaican music without it. The venerable Studio One rhythms form the very foundation of every musical style that has swept through the island since, and seemingly every Jamaican musician has worked there, ...

Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this

by Black Uhuru

This generous compilation isn't really a career retrospective, since it focuses almost exclusively on Black Uhuru's years on the Island label. However, it does take several tracks from the group's Greensleeves and RAS catalog and a Joe Gibbs single version of "Rent Man." What it all boils down to is an overview of the trio when it consisted of ...

Essential Dub (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

Dub lovers since they began operations in the early '80s, New York City's ROIR label focuses on the next wave and fringe of the genre for the most part, which means their Essential Dub collection spends a lot of time off the island of Jamaica and plenty of time with friends of mega producer Bill Laswell, spliff-smoking Brits, and part-time dubbers ...

Pick a Dub (1974) more music like this

by Keith Hudson

In his excellent book England's Dreaming, Jon Savage refers to Pick a Dub as "the greatest dub album ever, twelve cuts, all fantastic." It's easy to concur with Savage's assesment, with the lone caveat that there are some Lee Perry and King Tubby sides that might be as good. That caveat notwithstanding, Pick a Dub is sensational, arguably the ...

Rockers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this

Music is integral to this seminal Jamaican film, as it follows the exploits of drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, who plays himself, and featuring a myriad of other denizens of the music industry in lead roles and bit parts. The movie itself was awash in music, which pours out of clubs, studios, record shops, and radios. The soundtrack features ...
