MYSTERY BABYLON (182)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (182)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 22 2008 - When I accepted the invitation to join the "Christian Reggae Scene", I committed the sin of spiritual fornication with the Mystery.

I am ashamed over it: don't think it is easy to write this knowing that others will read it.

However, I have also learned a lot of mechanisms as I discovered just why Mystery Babylon is called the Mother of all Harlots (prostitutes), and just how this spiritual fornication takes place.

Even further: out of fornication can come a "child". In the case of Mystery Babylon, we speak about her "children" as "abominations".

So instead of beating myself on the head and feeling shame, I will use my own sin as an example of this spiritual fornication.

More Tomorrow...

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread (Dubroom Webmaster)

TRIBUTE DUB GIRLS
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - What would Reggae, what would DUB be without the female touch of our Sistren? Fortunately, we'll never know.

Therefore: a Tribute to the Sistren!

The title of this mix is a bit deceptive. Why? Well, simply. This is not a Stricktly DUB Show. A tune can be DUB, but not Reggae. And a tune can be Reggae, but not DUB. Sure, you guessed it: this show has it all.

However, this Tribute to the "Dub Girls" does give a very good picture just what the female touch does in Reggae, and DUB. Tanya Stephen's "Pity", for example, is quite different than the opening track.

Let's take a closer look.

We go from DUB Fusion, Sub DUB to Reggae DUB, to Roots Reggae, to Dancehall. From a poem to a little slack slap, from some Righteous Lyrics to one of the best Bass players in UK DUB, who happens to be a Sistren too as part of Alpha and Omega.

Indeed.

Nuff Said.

ASWAD - AFRICAN CHILDREN
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, November 2008 - The UK has been a major outlet and breeding place for Reggae Music. Patterned after Bob Marley's success, the 1970's gave birth to countless of UK based Reggae bands and Aswad was one of them.

The "Old Grey Whistle Test" was the name of a television program in the UK, where bands and artists performed live for a studio audience.

At least, most of the time.

In this case, it definitely was a live performance. We see Aswad as a full blown band performing somewhere in the early 1980's. An impressive performance, allready showing the group to be here-to-stay.
