July 2014 - With a title obviously referring
to Mad Professor's excellent REEL TO REEL
REGGAE Parts ONE
and TWO
recently purchased and reviewed by the
Dubroom, the three extended DUB mixes on
this EP carry only the musical sounds from
ARIWA Studio present in the two-part Sample
Pack from Loopmasters and no extra stuff
other than the vocals. Yes, it's an
unofficial promo without apology and equally
a full-quality release aimed to please
everyone who likes to enjoy their (DUB)
Reggae.
Two
Steppers and a One Drop riddim: Opening up
with a pumping call to praise Jah rather
than be afraid for those that seek to harm
His children, continuing with Dubhorse Lane
(a hint to the street where Ariwa Studio is
located in London) carrying Mad Professor's
voice and closing with a majestic, very atmospheric
Dub that has more than enough message in it
to get the point across: while the soldiers
march and kill, I and I know that the day
will come that JAH shall correct things and
I and I cannot wait for that day.
The music
was recorded in Mad
Professor's ARIWA Studio's and legally
obtained for use in Dubroom productions
through the purchase of the excellent Reel
To Reel Reggae Volumes One
and Two.
In simple terms, you could say that this is
Messian Dread working with and on top of Mad
Professor material. Those who know their
ARIWA catalogue will surely recognize
elements from Michael Prophet's
"Rootsman" Album, or the guitar lick
from "Africa Must Be Free By
1983". Things are obviously re-arranged
and made into original productions, three of
which are captured by this EP. Those who
know their Dubroom productions will surely
recognize Messian Dread's own style of
mixing and arranging as well.
From
Ariwa's Reels of Reggae to Dubroom's Real
Dubwise: Reel To Real Dubwise is definitely
one of Messian Dread's hardest Dub releases
to date since he started putting his music
online back in the late 1990's. Read
