DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW
WWW, February 2008 - The Sound of Coxsonne Dodd's Studio One cannot be mistaken for anything else than what it is. The Studio cannot be denied either, as it has been instrumental in the foundation of Reggae Music.
Time for the Steppin' Youth to take us to 43 Minutes of foundational music!
Studio One's specific sound symbolizes more than Reggae's early beginnings. The Studio was there long time before there was Reggae Music anyway...
Sure, there was no such thing as digital recording techniques back in the days when Reggae was born, but Studio One did not have the expensive equipment that gave rise to the recordings of let's say the Beatles.
The studio started with a two-track recorder and it would take a long time before it became possible for Coxsonne Dodd to record more than these two tracks. And obviously, this can be heard in the releases.
You hear the best of the best musicians playing at their best, the most heartical vocalists in their most heartical style. The music just cries out for the kind of recording equipment that could usually be found in the laboratories of the Babylonian recording Industry.
The Sound of Studio One therefore is truly the Sound of the Poor Man.
Respect is due!
