"EVALUATING 2008 (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, December 12 2008 - When you read this, probably at December 12, it will be almost a month ago that I wrote these words.

Jah Willing, I will be staying in Canada around this time where I'm visiting someone and am visited by some people who live in North America.

Partly, my reasons to visit Canada are private, but I hope that this-and-that will also lead to new material on the Dubroom itself.

Probably, I will know more by the time you read this.

At the time I am writing this evaluation, I'm still in the Netherlands, thinking about this last year in the Dubroom.

More Tomorrow...

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

TWINKLE BROTHERS LIVE IN PORTLAND 1981
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, December 2008 - They are known for their Conscious lyrics in which they don't apologize for the truth that they sing over some crucial drum and bass lines. The Twinkle Brothers, live in Portland.

The sound quality is definitely not the best, but the contents of the recording is more than just historical. The music is fat, enthusiastic, spiritual and strong in the same time.

As they play one -long- tune after the next, messages are spread about freedom, equality and justice. The year is 1983, and we hear mention of apartheid but also stuff that is very actual still.

This was the time before the political correct cultural mafia decided to take on Reggae with the result that may be considered rather known as many (had to?) sign gag orders in the name of "compassion".

Anyway, you can't keep a good message down and even though the sound quality is poor, this show was obviously crucial as the vibes clearly show.

Straight to the head of Babylon!

MESSIAN DREAD - CHURCH STATE SYSTEM - DUB 'N' DISCOMIX

MESSIAN DREAD - CHURCH STATE SYSTEM
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



A militant, foundational Steppers drum and a typical Messian Dread bassline carry a message where Pastor, President, Soldier and Terrorist are identified as all working for the very same system.


LYRICS

Can someone tell me why
The pastor and the President
Are lying the same lie
It can't be no coincidence

Can someone tell me why
The Soldier and the Terrorist
Believe in the same lie
And pray before they shake their fist

(chorus)
It's the System
The Church State System
It's the System
Babylon System
Queendom of Lucifer...

Yes Someone told me why
The pastor and the President
Are lying the same lie
Cause it is no coincidence

Yes Someone told me why
The Soldier and the Terrorist
Believe in the same lie
And pray before they shake their fist

(chorus)
It's the System
The Church State System
It's the System
Babylon System
Queendom of Lucifer...

The title comes in four different mixes, each one with their own specific vibe and purpose:
