MYSTERY BABYLON (1)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 5, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (1)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 5 2008 - A word that you'll find over and over again when you listen to Reggae Music, is "Babylon". It's the name of an ancient city, but there is much more about it all.

You can find the word in the Bible too, where she is called "Mystery Babylon".

She? Yes.

Babylon is a city, a system, a mystery, a religion, and an entity.

Mysteries are usually portrayed as mysterious, but the fact that we find this description of Mystery Babylon in a book called the Apocalypse says a thing.

For the word Apocalypse means "Revelation"!

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, December 2007 - With the recent release (and Dubroom review) of a video documentary "Summer Sound In Canada", shot entirely in 1970's, it's clear: Reggae has a history in Canada and it goes back several decades.

Willy Williams, Johnny Osbourne, Jammy's, Jackie Mittoo: several Jamaican names in Reggae have lived in Canada or keep living there until this day. Where the rest of the world thinks about Canada as just another word for the North-Pole, in reality there are some very interesting things to be discovered when you're into Reggae and we are, right?

We already met Mick Sleeper, as this is the review of his 13th Podcast and we've been to all 12 that went before this one. We know, that he knows his Reggae and gladly shares some of his collection with us.

Did we know, that he hails from somewhere in Canada?

Well, we will after listening to this mix.

He plays a massive selection of stricktly Canadian Reggae productions, and so we will know about a lot of Canadian artists that need to be heard by the online (DUB) Reggae community as well.

Upfull Rub a Dub, deep Dub and foundational Roots Reggae: everything is well represented and definitely serves as a teaser, as you want to discover more about Roots and Culture in that country just north of the U S of A.

THE TRUTH MOVEMENT (3)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 4, 2008

"THE TRUTH MOVEMENT (3)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 4 2008 - Obviously, the Truth Movement is as diverse as let's say the Movement of Rastafari. It's infiltrated too, corrupted, full of diversion and in-fights.

Obviously, each and everyone got to think for themselves and digest the information, in short, do their own research.

We live in a world, where consciousness simply is a must. Consciousness, as in awareness.

For the time wherein one could simply ignore the voice of the Rastaman and others, the pre-Internet days, are definitely over.

KILLER ROOTS
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, December 2007 - An uplifting selection of massive Roots Reggae Music, starting with Dillinger's Ragnampaza: get ready for 55 minutes of pure niceness for Jah Children.

Vocalists, DJ's and DUB engineers: all well represented in Killer Roots. A great non-stop no-nonsense mix that you want to play again and again because of the strong vibes destined to kill of all the bad vibes.

All Killer, No Filler, and still there are highlights that stand out. The opening track, for example: one of Dillinger's most energetic tunes ever and that says something.

Another one is Prince Alla's vision of the Great Stone, followed by King Tubby's legendary DUB version of the track of which the King of DUB himself said it came from "somewhere".

The mix itself has an emphasis on 1970's Roots Rock Reggae, and contains a fair representation of several relevant producers and studio's.

Next to King Tubby's, there Lee Perry's Black Ark, for example. It was there, that Junior Marvin recorded his classic "Police and Thieves" as well as the prophetic "Tedious" that may very well come true in our time as many think.

A third highlight, by the way...

Killer Roots, indeed. You want to have this 55 minutes, because you want to play it more than once!
