Recent enjoyment:
Peter Jefferies - Last Great Challenge in a Dull World Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown Black Uhuru - Red The Fall - Slates and Dragnet The Congos - Heart of the Congos The Mekons - Fear & Whiskey Throwing Muses - s/t Both Dazzling Killmen records. Those dub/reggae records are pretty much my introduction to this music. The Congos' album was the first I got, but it's fucking incredible - I must've listened to it about 20 times since I got it just over a week ago. Really enjoying the Uhuru and Pablo records too. Anyone got some more good Jamaican records they can recommend? |

Ah, yes. I was just feeling in the mood for this yesterday, couldn't find my copy, and listened to People's Instinctive Travels.. Instead. It's always been my favorite, having been the first I heard, but it did not hit the spot. Still good, but now I have a soul aching urge to hear marauders. |
Not only do I think this is their best album, but they are one of the few groups or bands to make their final record one of their finest! Talk about going out ontop! I'm listening to this record for like the sixth time in the past two weeks. it is fantastic fucking record! I could listen to Sway like fifty times on repeat.. Quote:
The Heart of the Congos is one of the most mystical, spiritual, and yet political albums ever made of any genre, let alone rootz reggae. It is the encapsulation of Rastafari in record format, if anything the only stronger album is Rastafari by Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus ;) Quote:

It deserves to be in the same breath. If anything, you're honoring Doggystyle. I think the order is off completely, but that's just me. It's your breath. Wait, no, Cuban Linx... Then the rest. :D I really need Wu Tang Forever on vinyl. I have a very small hip hop vinyl selection, but if anythin's a must have, it's Forever, and definitely Midnight Marauders. |
Quote:
EDIT: but yeah i might take your advice and cop Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords before the WC classix. |
There's a member of thought forms on this board, right? good stuff! Come play vienna sometime soon! |

Thanks for that! I'm gonna order that Scientist record tonight, as I asked a friend of mine who's a big dub fan and he also said it's one to get. I'll check out that Grass Roots of Dub record too, sounds fantastic. And fuck yeah, Arkology looks fantastic! Lee Scratch Perry seems like some sorta fuckin' genius, from what I read. His production job on the Congos record I mentioned is certainly sublime, that much I do know. Can't wait to get hold of Arkology. SuchFriends - thanks for that, I can absolutely see where you're coming from with regards to The Heart of the Congos. Beautiful stuff. I'll try and get the other record you mentioned. |
I had a friend who back in 1999, would spin dub in Austin at various functions. fucking awesome so loud out in the open air.

I've listened to this a couple of times over the few months I've had it. However, it was today that I discovered the true brilliance of it. |

Holydrug Couple, Pure X, Warpaint and MF Doom.
That was my day. |

That album has such terrible production so as to make it basically unlistenable. However, search for live versions of Atoms For Peace, particularly circa 2009. They are fantastic shows, I can totally see why they tried to make an album, but Thom let that terrible The Eraser shit creep into the studio again, that same bullshit that almost ruined King of Limbs. Live King of Limbs is superb as well. |

My God War Pain is epic. So few Los Angeles bands make it big (Doors, tool, Rage Against the Machine, Guns and Roses, System of a Down, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Sublime, Weezer, technically Van Halen, Frank Zappa) though we have a lot of really great bands. A lot of great indie and niche bands have come from LA, but we have rarely had "scenes" like New York, Chicago, Memphis, or Seattle. War Paint is part of our mid-2000s "scene". EVERY local band from Long Beach to Glendale, from Gardena to Culver City, from Silverlake to South Central, sounds like that. Chick vocals? Check. Dreary, ambient, shoegazish guitar work? Check. Dramatic drumwork? Check. Too much reverb? Check. Vocal harmonies? Check. Keyboard? Check. Its almost like our bands combined all of those above LA bands I mentioned with Mazzy Star to form some LA hybrid. In my opinion tool is our greatest gift to music, and Rage Against the Machine could have been. The Doors? Shit. That is too trippy for the masses, but so is a lot of LA drug culture ;) |
Quote:
Whoah, really? You think Tool is LA's greatest gift to music? What about the independent hip hop scene out there. Madlib and Peanut Butter Wolf/Stones Throw, FlyLo, etc? They're at least near enough to LA to consider it home. I have avoided LA like the plague since the mid '90s. Last time I was there I flew threw, had a layover, caught an Angels game, and bounced the next morning. I have no interest in that city. |
