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.
