A MAN CALLED DUB



Dubroom Online - January 30 2009



"A MAN CALLED DUB" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 30 2009 - Today's edition of Dubroom online is livicated to Neil Fraser, aka the Mad Professor. Specifically, we focus on his works in 2007 with a video interview and review of a crucial Dub album he did in that very same year.

He is truly more than just an example and source of inspiration for me, as he is one of the most strong powers within the musical art called DUB ever since he started back some decades ago.

One thing that makes him really one of the most interesting producers also outside the field of Reggae, is that he uses acoustic or analogue instruments like a drum and subsequently makes them sound synthetic.

Usually, it is done the other way around. But the Mad Professor does things different today, where they will all do it tomorrow.

He surely is DUB, in a way. A man called DUB.

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

    I didn't know about that release. I still have some of the Dub Me Crazy vinyl albums from back in the 80's think of old skool dub the Mad Professor's up there with Lee "Scratch" Perry, King Tubby & Sly & Robbie for sure.

    A good friend of mine discovered the album, I too had not heard of it.

    A shame, cause it is one of his better works and interesting because of the retrospections, at least, that's what I think :)

    One Love,
