MYSTERY BABYLON (143)

Dubroom Online - Edition August 1 - October 15, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (143)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, August 1 2008 - It's not easy to discover that we are all initiated into the mystery, trained to think that what Babylon says is the truth and so on.

It's not easy to know that what you thought to be Jah works, turns out to be yet another branch of the shitstem that started in the ancient times when Nimrod failed to open the bottomless pit by building a tower over it.

But you can't be "called out" unless you're "in there" and so, to realize that we're "in there" is a must.

I invite each and everyone who reads this, to participate in debates and reasonings about this topic for the times to come. On the Dubroom Message Boards, for example.

Let's step out of Babylon, let's reason about it.

More on October 15...

One Love, Give Thanks,

Greetings!

It's not nice to write this. Not nice, because I hate to admit the things I have to admit for myself here. I will do it publicly. Not because of some masochistic motivation, but simply because I do things in public and I have to explain what I have to explain.

I was already slowing down on updates, but now I am going to slow down even more. The reason being, that I simply can't do all the things that I am currently doing and it has grown over my head right now.

I wake up in the morning, and basically have to deal with a lot of things before I go to sleep again. But this isn't really possible at the moment, because I simply do not have the energy and the time.

I have 100's of unread e-mails, 10's of riddims to mix and sing, a long list of yet-to-review-material, books to write and so on and so forth. A situation which comes into existance as the result of the fact that I do not have the energy, sometimes not even to go out of my house.

What's going on?

Well, I don't wanna say too much in public about everything. Got people to protect and thing. But I am in a phase in my life that is between situations. I might very well end in a different country from where I will work further, but that is not my first option. Those who know me a bit more personal know what I am talking about, but I remain to be very very reluctant in sharing private stuf on public places so to speak.

However, this private situation does affect/effect (i do not know the right word right now) my public works too and it will affect/effect more as time goes by, at least for the coming months.

Basically, I do not know where I will be in a few weeks from now and that situation will not change fore these upcoming months. I tried very hard to work ahead in time so that my private runnings would not negatively affect/effect (yeah, it must be affect) those who like to read the new reviews and columns and so on, but i must admit: I can't do it cause I don't have the energy.

In the end, as said, I am in between two situations. The situation I expect to be in after having been living thought this terrible phase, will help me siginificantly in producing more stuff, but until that time I am in a situation wherein certain things take all my attention.

When I keep pushing myself to produce, which is what I do being the workaholic that I am, I push myself beyond my limits. The results are that I totally collapse. I dont even have the energy to look at my emails, to answer the phone, to even open the door of my house. I don't even have the energy to participate in "my" own message boards.

Please pray for me and people around me who are also involved, because we truly need Jah Guidance. I notice that we are attacked a lot, where in the same time we're fighting and struggling for the well-being of certain people who have been suffering all their lifes.

I'll try to visit the Message Boards daily, I will also keep you posted as best as I can, I'm not planning to go off-line and I know that after this situation I will have a lot to share.

MESSIAN DREAD - SEE JAH WORKS (DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE)

MESSIAN DREAD - SEE JAH WORKS
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



TRACK DESCRIPTION

This is the 7th track of my album "Showcase", and also the fastest one.

Believe it or not, in 2 minutes and 48 seconds there full lyrics and full Dub too. That must be a fast track, and sure it is. The speed is around 180 BPM, easily leaving many so-called fast tracks behind.

It's a joyous track too, as you can see by reading the lyrics. A true song of celebration!


LYRICS

He's our King now
Yes, He's the Lord now
The conquering Lion
Of the tribe of Judah

Yes, He's the king now
And He's the Lord now
Earth rightful Ruler
Yes, He's the Saviour

Jah Jah Spirit
Moving all over
Working all over

See Jah works now
Yes, see Jah works now
All over this place
All over that place

He's the King now
He's the Lord now
The Lion of Judah
The eternal Conqueror

Feel Jah Spirit
And See Jah works
Moving all over,
Yes moving all over

Thank you Jah Jah
Oh thank You Jah Jah
Eternal Saviour
Eternal...

MESSIAN DREAD - WHATCHA GONNA SAY (DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE)

MESSIAN DREAD - WHATCHA GONNA SAY
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



TRACK DESCRIPTION

This is the 6th track of my album "Showcase".

Working further on the topic, and working further on the Dub too. The track actually starts with almost two minutes of pure Dub mixing before it goes over into the vocal part.

There's real play on real violins, put through several layers of effects, and definitely not playing something traditional. The bass goes through some heavy filtering as well.


LYRICS

What you gonna say
To the One Who created you
When He's standing there
Right in front of you
What are you going to say
On (that) judgment day

Remember Jah is holy
Remember Jah is perfect
Remember Jah is holy
there's no evil in Him

What are you going to say to Jah Jah
When He's right there
Standing before ya

And he'll ask you: "Who are you?"
And he'll ask you: "Who am I?"

What are you going to say
When He'll ask you

"Did you give Me food
When I was hungry?"

"Did you give Me water
When I was thirsty?"

"Did you visit Me
when I was in a prison?"
