i always forget how pretty that love joys record is.

Yeah as much as I love "Uptown Ranking", the Love Joys really put Althea & Donna to shame. Those two albums are just gorgeous.

i saw the white mice cd but it was the versions. rather have the vocal one.

man s0und g4rd3n has a buttload of wackies stuff in but i couldn't tell what was good: meditations, junior delahaye, african roots, etc.

― amon (amon), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i'm always kinda suprised by how stocked up s0und g4rd3n's reggae section is. (their other "world music" sections suck ass though.)

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

btw wackies article in new wax poetics not very enlightening (shocker).

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

The Perry article was disappointing too. Thanks repeating every cliched thing everyone already knew, guys.

Every Wackies thing I have is great, but Reggae Goodies 1 & 2 is probably the best starting point/sampler.

how is white mice?

― friday on the porch (lfam), Friday, 29 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I really really like it, but I love early digital dancehall and Waterhouse style deejaying.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 29 December 2006 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm listening to the versions and boy are they great! i love 1980s digital dancehall too so i'm def buying this. i'm not familiar with waterhouse deejaying though... any links?

― friday on the porch (lfam), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

well, i'll probably buy the vocals over the versions.

― friday on the porch (lfam), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

It's that heavy echo-ed flat style of singjaying a la Tenor Saw/Nitty Gritty/Courtney Melody that's ubiquitous in early 80s dancehall.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

i love that shit

the rhythms on that white mice are awesome.

I love that Cornell Campbell collection. I also love that Michigan & Smiley album.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 29 December 2006 23:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I picked up Deliver Me From My Enemies last week btw and it's great stuff.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 05:46 (seventeen years ago) link

saw that too but figured i had enough yabby between jesus dread and dub it to the top.

what's a good dennis brown album?

― amon (amon), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:08 (seventeen years ago) link

The two Niney collections are tops: Some Like It Hot and Open The Gate. The Blood & Fire collection which is really just a late Joe Gibbs 70s album with a bunch of bonus cuts. It is good but uneven and not as essential as the other Joe Gibbs produced stuff (Visions, Words of Wisdom.) I would start with the first Niney collection and move on from there.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:27 (seventeen years ago) link

The new B&F Yabby You is a bit like the Dennis Brown one actually. It's great, but if you feel like you have enough of their stuff it's one of those things you can wait to find cheap.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 06:30 (seventeen years ago) link

well, just ordered from ebreggae.com:
Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown
Lee Perry - Blackboard Jungle Dub
Lee Perry & Niney the Observer - Producers

I decided to give Lee Perry another chance, and Blackboard Jungle Dub seems the place to start. Augustus Pablo is amazing psychedelic dub, and I can't wait to get that again. been years since I listened to him.

― hm (modestmickey), Saturday, 30 December 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks alex

"I decided to give Lee Perry another chance, and Blackboard Jungle Dub seems the place to start."

Yeah it's a great place to start if you don't listen to anything anyone else says.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean that's a great album, but as I said on that other thread if you want to be convinced of Perry's genius that's not the first place I would turn.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

perry's productions for other people > his own albums

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i realize this is neither a new nor controversial statement, but i feel it bears repeating

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah also Blackboard Jungle Dub is at least as much a King Tubby dub album as it as Perry dub album. If you want a Perry dub album then get Super Ape (which is the only Perry record that might contradict Violent J's equation above, I guess.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

revolution dub > blackboard jungle dub

― amon (amon), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Have you heard the Auralux reissue on a decent stereo? That version sounds miles better than the old Clocktower/RAS versions.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been listening to Steven Bernstein's "Dybbuk Dub," if that counts.

― RSLaRue (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 00:27 (seventeen years ago) link

got horace andy "good vibes" and "full up: best of studio one vol.2" used today. think that's it for me for a while, xmas bonus and gift money all used up.

― amon (amon), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 01:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i've only ever heard the track "good vibes" by horace andy, not the album (or whatever it is) -- but it's a great track!

Next Blood & Fire set will be U-ROY 1969-75. Not sure how much more of that period of U-Roy I need, but could be some great productions which'll make it worthwhile.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Slow release time otherwise. No new Auralux, no new Hot Pot. But in addition to reissueing Brand Pressure Sounds is putting out this which is probably fantastic. Brand is really really underrated btw.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 15 February 2007 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

That should be re-reissuing Brand. Also curious about this Milton Henry on Wackies, but I can probably wait on that.

i now have the 'no bones..' one mentioned above and african dub 1-4, state of emergency and a studio one comp called "the mighty two". all of it is great

didn't know about that "brand" album

― amon (amon), Thursday, 15 February 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow that's a lot of Joe Gibbs dub. I have the first five you mention and then a couple of vocal/deejay collections. Compared to Channel One or Bunny Lee, Gibbs feels kind of underrepresented in the reissue market actually although apparently he's been pretty difficult to work with so that may be entirely his fault.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 15 February 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago) link

the mighty 2 comp isn't dub so much as various gibbs/et productions

― amon (amon), Saturday, 17 February 2007 01:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I thought that it might be. I might even have that one actually haha. You mean the Heartbeat one, right?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 17 February 2007 01:32 (seventeen years ago) link

There is a Soul Jazz one that's pretty good too, Roots of Dancehall or something like that (there are like twelve compilations called Roots of Dancehall aren't there haha.)

still haven't heard them, are they good? the only dubstep i've heard and liked so far is slaughter mob from that old 'grime' comp.

― amon (amon), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

If Sub Oslo releases a record this year I will be so happy.
