I've been enjoying African Dub Chapters 3 & 4, and Cry Tough Dub Encounter Chapter 3 (what is it with chapter 3s?)

You'd think this is a group who'd really draw on all their ambient sounds, instrumentals and studio textures to make a really good dub album, and its just plain dull. Grrrr...

This has been sitting basically unlistened to in my "to listen" pile for a year and a half at least so yeah I'd say it probably is.
The Motion comp of King Tubby & Friends stuff is really good btw.
On the non-dub tip though, the Tower extravaganza has short-circuited my purchases of new records, but Deliver Me From My Enemies and Life Goes In Circles are both on my list of stuff to get. Studio One Groups may have a bit too many familiar tracks for me to care about tracking it down (do "Pick Up The Pieces", "Happy Land", "Baby Why" really need to be anthologized again?) although generally this is some of my favorite stuff ever.

if that's not a serious answer I've been dipping into "Macro Dub Infection Vol. 1" and "Dub Chill Out" (compilation with the big names on...) but not that much, I'm a dub n00b. And Trojan Jamaican Superstars Box Set/Trojan D.J. Box Set/Trojan Reggae Duets Box Set which are not dub anyway...
And if anyone can find me (ysi?) the vocal version of "Telephone Love" by (???) I would be stoked. I love that tune. Found it in Hard Wax and jumped for joy but it was only the instrumental :(

i think the backing tracks on that comp are much more interesting, dubwise, than most of the tracks on dub I and dub II.

I realized I already have that "Agrovators(sic) Meets the Revolutioners(SIC!?)." It's okay, mostly horn-heavy instrumentals rather than dub.

That reminds me, can anyone think of records with a lot of dubbed-out trombone? I heard a track on the radio that was great, no idea who it was.

Did they share the same sound effects with Joe Gibb's African Dub team? The gong, flowing water, doorbell and telephone sound very similar.
― Bob Six (Bob Six), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 08:15 (seventeen years ago) link
I'd say the two essential SJ Studio One comps are Rockers and Dub. Dub is really special - I don't know who the hell actually mixed these, whether it was Sylvan Morris or Coxsone himself, but some of that material is amazing. The dub of Delroy Wilson's orginal Run Run (Running Dub) is a cracker, especially when the vocal comes back in at the end.
Oh - and Studio One Funk is great too.
I've also been listening to the Scientist 'Vampires' set recently - possibly my favourite Dub album, certainly in my top 3. For me, it's quality of the vocal and the way that he leaves in just enough of it to set an atmosphere that makes Scientist so special. That and the sheer depth of the mixes.
― Dr.C (Dr.C), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:30 (seventeen years ago) link
Some of his other records I've found a bit anaemic, in that he has a good concept - such as space invaders - but doesn't play around enough with those sounds.
