MYSTERY BABYLON (15)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 19, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (15)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 19 2008 - Basically, the origins of what is generally known as "civilization" can be found on the exact location of what the ancient books tell us is the origin of Babylon System, too.

When Nimrod failed to complete the Tower of Babel, he failed to open the bottomless pit in which JAH had chained the main perpetrators of the iniquities that triggered the Great Flood.

He then traveled all over the world to "bring civilization" everywhere he went. Known under many names, researchers did trace many of the "mythological" figures such as Osiris and Quetzequatl back to this one person.

His goal was to re-install the days of Noah, and even though he did not live to see his wish to pass, he did start a process that continues until this very day.

More tomorrow.

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - From heavyweight contemporary UK DUB to King Tubby with Sly and Robbie and everything in between and beyond, Stop that Train Number Ten has it all!

Yours truly once played a set of stricktly Digital contemporary DUB styles during an event where all kinds of electronic styles were present. Stricktly electronica, even.

You can imagine the surprise when someone came and asked the question: "Do you have Reggae?"...

Where it might be true that some or even many Reggae lovers may not apprecilove the deep and foundational digital DUB production of let's say the last 10 years, the same can be said about Dancehall and Reggaeton.

Well, the tenth episode of the excellent Stop That Train podcast show in reverse chronology just where this digital DUB music comes from and to those that know their Drum and Basslines it should not be a surprise where we eventually land.

When Scotty tells us it is time to draw our brakes as we have moved back in time far enough, the point is already made and even the most staunch Reggae preterist will at least have heard what (s)he would call "Reggae".

For the rest of us: enjoy another hour of crucial material!

MYSTERY BABYLON (14)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 18, 2008

"MYSTERY BABYLON (14)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 18 2008 - If Nimrod would have succeeded building the Tower of Babel, he would have opened the bottomless pit in which JAH Himself bound some of the most evil watchers that used to run the place in the days of Noah.

He would have successfully established a One World Order, or, if you will: global domination.

This is why JAH stopped this project by changing the language of all people and dividing the planet into 70 or 72 different regions, each one having a specific territorial god or watcher to run business in his own territory.

And this is why, after the failure to build the Tower, Nimrod is said to have been visiting all over the world to "bring civilization".

More Tomorrow.

BALAGANJAH: RUB A DUB SESSION
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - Yigal Bubet aka Ganjah Vibes and Barak Shalit aka Skunkride team up once again in Tel Aviv to bring us an hour of pure Reggae niceness in their weekly radio show Balaganjah.

And this time, they do it in a stricktly Rub a Dub style!

It cannot be said enough: most Reggae historians only look to the 1970's and before, completely ignoring the enormous amount of crucial material that was produced during the Rub a Dub era of the 1980's.

Does it say a thing about the average age of the average Reggae Historian with connections to the more or less official channels of re-issue labels et cetera? That could very well be the case, but who cares when we have the Podosphere inna Cyberspace where there is a Reggae Mix for everyone!

In this Rub a Dub Session, we are definitely being treated to some of the better works from the 1980's. Barrington Levy's "Prison Oval Rock" and Ranking Dread's classic "Fattie Boom Boom" are just two out of 13 tracks of the predominantly Jamaican based material in this hour of pure Rub a Dub niceness.


PLAYLIST

01. johnny clarke - rude dub
02. johnny osbourne - no lolipop no sweet so
03. barrington levy - prison oval rock
04. freddie mcgregor - big ship
05. sylvan white - africans unite
06. barrington levy & jah thomas - tribute to moa anbesa
07. benie man - over the sea
08. billy boyo - one splif a day
09. ranking dread - fatty boom boom
10. sister nancy - any man
11. eastwood & saint - talk about run

MYSTERY BABYLON (13)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 17, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (13)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 17 2008 - The location of the ancient Tower of Bab-El was crucial in the plans of Nimrod, who wanted to re-install the situation as it was before the Great Flood, in the "Days of Noah".

The "Days of Noah" are legendary.

The Ethiopian Book of Enoch tells us how in these days, angelic beings called the Watchers came down from heaven and had giant offspring with women called the Nephilim or the Mighty Men (Gibborim).

The Bible tells us, how after the flood Nimrod "began" to be a "mighty man", too. He re-inaugurated the days of Noah even inside of his own body, as he underwent some kind of genetic manipulation that stopped him from being a human being.

He had "become like (the) God(s) and opening up the gate in that location in what is now know as Iraq, was only a next step in Nimrod's conquest for a One World Order.

More Tomorrow.

WWW, January 2008 - From the Holy Land, with love for Reggae Music and for the people: introducing Balaganjah to the online massive!

Balaganjah is more than just a weekly Reggae Radio show in Tel Aviv. The program has had a host of guests, for example, ranging from the Netherlands based King Shiloh to Carlton Livingston and many others.

In this episode we meet up with selectors Ganjah Vibes and Skunkride. They play a number of 1970's material, in style. Every now and then, we feel a little effect, jingle or spoken phrase.

Great selection, too! Burning Spear's "Jah is my Driver", for example, coming with excellent DUB version. The unforgettable "Lot's Wife" by Prince Alla is another gem that simply cannot be refused by those that apprecilove the better worlks from the 1970's.

MYSTERY BABYLON (12)

Dubroom Online - Edition January 16, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (12)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, January 16 2008 - Why did Nimrod wanted to build a "Tower" that would "Reach Into Heaven"?

Ancient books tell us, how the founder of what we know as Babylon was angry at Jah for sending the Great Flood.

Remnants and ruins of that pre-flood time -also known as "Atlantis"- can be found all over the world, but let's just mention the ancient Sumerians here.

Nimrod build the tower on a place these Sumerians called "The bottomless pit". It was there, that these ancients would have contact with a being we would recognize as "Satan".

More Tomorrow.

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - In the meantime, we take a look in King Konsul's backyard where we enjoy 45 minutes of a satisfying combination of known and relatively unknown works of art.

King Konsul knows his Reggae. Starting of with a selection of predominantly Lover's tunes, only to go forward into more Conscious and spiritual material, the first episode of his Backyard Sessions contains a well-balanced set of older and less older Reggae tunes.

Militant Roots Rockers by Dr. Alimantado, foundational works from Israel Vibration, even Bob Marley's children are represented in what could be seen as a presentation of the versatility of Roots Reggae Music.

Unfortunately, at the time this review is written, King Konsul only released one of his backyard session. Unfortunately, because the selector knows his business: the kind of business that is sweet to the soul of those that live, eat and breath Reggae Music!
