Me Zion Dread - Rhythm Of The Spiritual Warrior (Discomix)

ME ZION DREAD - RHYTHM OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR (DISCOMIX)



Me Zion Dread (a deeper layer in the name Messian Dread) chanting down Babylon and the Serpent followed by some serious dubbing down of the Dragon in the Name of Yesus Kristos (JAH): Here is six minutes, seven seconds and twenty-one milliseconds of pure spiritual war in a Hardcore Dub style!

The music is hard and militant, the echo's are like two-edge swords. The drum and bass are like thunder and lightning, while there is no frequency in the audible spectrum left dry.

Yes, this must be a special livication to all the spiritual warriors in the Kingdom of Yesus Kristos, Who is JAH: have good faith and courage for there is no way in which the wicked ones will ever be able to conquer I and I.

And yes, this one also goes out to the spiritual warriors in the Queendom of Satan: you better leave JAH Children alone and stop your evil spells and curses, for everything you do will come straight back at you.

Word, Sound and Power!

Red, Gold and Green (2) - Webmaster's Column



Dubroom Online - Edition November 7, 2007



"RED, GOLD AND GREEN (2)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 7 2007 -The African Tricolor has a story to tell, told by vocalists on countless of Reggae tunes.

Red stands for the blood of the people, who were robbed from their homeland in order to work as slaves in what was called the "New World".

Yellow stands for the gold that was taken from the land of Africa and brought into the realm of the Red White and Blue, the so-called Judeo-Christian Civilization of the west that is identified by so many Reggae artists as "Babylon".

Green stands for the land of Creation, for Africa specifically. The land where everything began, according to Genesis 1.

Give Thanks, One Love,

Aswad - Shine (Video Review)

ASWAD - SHINE
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review




WWW, October 2007 - Aswad's magnificent track "shine" shows just how commercial Reggae can appeal to the heart and soul of even the Reggae Puritans among us.

Some would claim, the Reggae died somewhere in the 1980's. They wouldn't say it, but the mere fact that they would never check music created beyond that so-called "Golden Age" would reveal it.

Why?

Well, let's simply assume they never checked the true vibes behind the music from the 1990's.

Aswad's track "Shine", for example.

This track will make you move and groove fe true. A maximum use of digital technology is applied to create a -then- brand new sound experience. The theme of the lyrics deal with the very same topic, as we're told to "shine into the future"!

Enjoy!

Red, Gold and Green (1) - Webmaster's Column



Dubroom Online - Edition November 6, 2007

"RED, GOLD AND GREEN (1)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 6 2007 - The African Tricolor is well represented, wherever you go in Reggae land. Many people would even speak about the "Reggae Colors"...

Obviously, this has to do with the fact that the Movement of Rastafari has such a great influence in the development of the music, even though you cannot say that Reggae is necessarily Rasta or even Religious or Spiritual music.

The Dubroom also makes use of the Red, Gold and Green, but not just because this happens to be a Reggae website.

DENNIS ALCAPONE - WAKE UP JAMAICA! (MP3 REVIEW)

WWW, October 2007 - In the 1960's, there was a trend in Jamaica wherein young criminals would name themselves after famous people in movies and crime. Reggae toasters ("rappers") would follow suit and so we have Clint Eastwood, Charlie Chaplin and... Dennis Alcapone!

Today, we know all about musical styles wherein vocalists rhythmically speak over drum and bass driven riddims. Hip-Hop, Rap, et cetera. The discipline, however, started in Jamaica when the MC's in the Sound Systems would chant over the music.

It was U Roy, who first cultivated the discipline and started to record his vocal skills on vinyl. "Daddy" U Roy soon had to deal with the fact that others would follow him and make their own interpretation of the style.

Dennis Alcapone was considered to be U Roy's main rival back in the early 1970's (Source: The Rough Guide To Reggae). His output was massive in quality and quantity as he voiced 100's of tunes for almost every producer of significance in Jamaica.

In twenty tracks and 56 minutes, we are introduced to the man's voice, "insured for six million dollar" as he claims on one of his humorous tracks. Different styles, different vibes, the versatility of one man becomes crystal clear along the way.

Massive!

ASWAD - ROOTS ROCKING (LIVE) (VIDEO REVIEW)


WWW, October 2007 - In this professionally recorded live performance, we'll see Majesty in the Palace as a full-blown Aswad plays the bad vibes away with some crucial niceness.

Four horn blowers, an extended drum kit, two guitars, a complete keyboard corner: indeed, this is a full blown band. It's all there and the band plays smooth as smooth can be.

At 3 minutes 30, the track begins to take a different direction. Pretending to have played the complete tune, the band stops and starts again... in a Dubwise style!

The quality of the video itself is superb, recorded and directed by a professional crew. Especially when you take into consideration, that this review is written almost one quarter of a century after the actual recording.

Reggae and Religion (4) (Webmaster's Column)



Dubroom Online - Edition November 5, 2007



"REGGAE AND RELIGION (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 5 2007 - Reggae Music and religion or spirituality are so connected, that even artists who do not believe in JAH will give praises to Him, if only to say "Rastafari" because they like to say the word.

People who believe in JAH will obviously see this as a pre-cursor to what is usually called "Every Knee Shall Bow and Every Tongue Confess".

They will smile and give thanks for the Word.

Yes, there definitively is some spiritual element in Reggae that cannot be denied, not even by the biggest atheist on the face of the planet.

Give Thanks, One Love,
