AUGUSTUS PABLO - PABLO AT HOME

AUGUSTUS PABLO - PABLO AT HOME
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



Augustus Pablo - Pablo at Home (Joe Gibbs Productions, 1972)

Just a few licks, that's all the melodica work in this early 1970's instrumental. Don't expect any heavy Dub mixing, do expect some upfull vibes by a full blown band.

MYSTERY BABYLON (32)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 6, 2008

"MYSTERY BABYLON (32)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 6 2008 - The Babylonian Mystery Religion is the mother of all religions.

This religion is basically the worship of the gods and the priest and kings who in their turn claimed descend of these gods.

The figure of Nimrod, the founder of Babylon, was the first in the post-flood world to claim this. It is written in the Bible as well that indeed, Nimrod became one of the Gibborim.

Nimrod is also known under various other names. The Egyptian Osiris, for example, is believed by most serious researchers to be Nimrod as well.

In fact, it seems like the founder of Bab-el has been traveling all over the world to "bring civilization", the Babylonian Mystery Religion being just one aspect of what we now know as the "Church And State System".

More tomorrow...

VERSION BIG-FI - EVERYTHING BUT
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - In the mean time, in a place called Reading, UK based DUB Duo Version Big-Fi has been working hard to produce their first full-length album.

The result? Well, it's... Everything But!

According to the liner notes, Version Big-Fi tries to stay away from the runnings in the Music Industry. Tone and Papa Sparks "simply" do their own thing: use digital contemporary techniques, sample a little bit and produce some killer tunes.

Until recently, the Duo had only released a few singles and a number of great Podcasts under the name "Stop That Train", all reviewed by the Dubroom and with very good reason.

"Everything But" is Version Big-Fi's first full length album, downloadable for free from their website. Eleven tracks, all with their own specific vibe and style, in which elements of the past and the present are mixed together with an obvious look to the future.

The album is everything but boring, everything but sleepy, everything but ignorable. All tracks are highly danceable because of the magnificent drum and bass lines.

Reggae and (Two-Tone) Ska drum and basslines form the main foundational ingredients of the eleven riddims on the album, while it is clear that Version Big-Fi enjoys the music by Dreadzone as well.

This is definitely the kind of music that belongs in the collection of every self respecting collector of free and legal (DUB) MP3's. The music can be downloaded for free, but when you can, the UK based DUB Duo would apprecilove a donation of any kind.

This Internet release is true 21st Century DUB!

MYSTERY BABYLON (31)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 5, 2008

"MYSTERY BABYLON (31)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 5 2008 - The mother of all religions is the Mystery Religion of Babylon.

It is really a two-faced religion, where the clergy know a different thing than the laity: Priests, kings and gods on one hand, the people on the other.

The laity serves the elite, and if they don't they will fear the wrath of the gods, kings, and other rulers.

The kings and priests claimed the "Divine Right to Rule" based on the fact, that they were factually descendants of the gods.

Nimrod, the founder of Bab-El, was actually the first of the pre-flood kings to claim this "superhuman" identity.

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - TK HiFi's concept of "Mix Plates" is taken to the max in this Internet release. In true Showcase Style, we hear Peter Tosh, Junior Murvin and many others in a way we didn't hear the before!

Can't really call this a Podcast: it's an album, actually. An album with seven excellent remakes of seven well known tunes by well known vocalists.

With one exception, they're all voiced by the original vocalists and come with an excellent DUB version in the second part.

Can't really call it an album of remixes either: these are Mix Plates, says TK HiFi. Mix Plates are complete remakes of the tune, usually played by Sound Systems.

How they do it, we will never know. But how it sounds, does not have to remain a question for too long. Just download and play as I would say.

You will hear just over 47 minutes of pure Reggae Music, Showcase style: every track comes with a vocal part followed by an excellent DUB. You will hear the seven well known tracks in a way you have not heard them before and will not hear them again.

MYSTERY BABYLON (30)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 4, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (30)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 4 2008 - The mother of all religions can be found in Babylon or Bab El as it was called by the founder, Nimrod.

We know it as the Mystery Religion of Babylon and it was basically the world religion that came into existence right after the failed Tower of Babel incident.

The planet was divided in 70 or 72 different regions, each one having their own god appointed by the Most High God, JAH.

Priests and kings had contact with the gods, and even more: some of them claimed descendance of these gods!

Ancient skulls found in South America like the famous "Coneheads" reveal how indeed the rulers had features that were not directly human to put it lightly.

HOUSE OF REGGAE #19
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, January 2008 - Ian's "House Of Reggae" is located in London. But there's a House of Reggae in Canada too. And how it sounds, can be heard in the 19th episode of this excellent Podcast series.

The 1970's Canadian release turns out to be the original and historical Canadian release of Prince Alla's 1970's tune "Bozrah". And it's not the only highlight in the House of Reggae #19.

In fact, the whole hour is filled with interesting beats and bytes all leading towards a higher overstanding of the many different aspects of Reggae Music and Culture.

The show starts off with an ancient Dennis Brown track, followed by a deeply spiritual extended tune by Prince Alla and Tappa Zukie of which our host gladfully provides the biblical background information as well.

Another highlight in the show is formed by an obscure Lee Perry and King Tubby collaboration, from the pre-Black Ark era. Ian plays both sides of the original 7" vinyl single, and showcases some later Perry productions as well.

Another episode in what is surely one of the most informative Reggae podcasts in Cyberspace!

ZEITGEIST: AN EXCURSION INTO STUPIDITY

ZEITGEIST: AN EXCURSION INTO STUPIDITY
BABYLON OBERVER VIDEO REVIEW



WWW, February 2008 - The recently released Internet Video "Zeitgeist" brings us the latest New Age spin on "Religion", "9/11" and other Babylonian projects.

How the Son becomes the Sun and claims backed by money rather than facts...

"Zeitgeist": a German word which can be translated as Spirit-Of-The-Time. The word is often used to describe the cultural and intellectual climate of a certain time.

"Zeitgeist": the name of a recently released Internet Documentary perfectly capturing the Spirit-Of-The-Time in this post-modern era. An era, wherein plain logic and truthful reasonings are anathema even though this is not acknowledged by those who follow the Zeitgeist.

The makers of the movie Zeitgeist, for example...

Claiming to fight the Zeitgeist, in reality they are promoting it big-time in a video that is full of errors, psychological manipulations, rhetorics and hollow sound bytes.

In fact, it's almost impossible to believe how the movie can ever be taken seriously...

But Zeitgeist is (to be) taken seriously!

On the movie's website, we find the announcement of a "Z-Day" somewhere in March 2008. On "Z-day" the video will be screened at countless of places all over the world. (LINK)

Obviously, there's money behind the Zeitgeist Movie. Big money, even, money that is donated rather than invested: the movie is professionally produced and promoted, while the multi-million downloads at Google Video didn't bring the makers much money either.

Someone obviously has a message to get across. Someone obviously has the money to back up the many claims in the video as well, but do the facts back up the claims, too?

One article on the Internet entitled "Beauty Is Truth", wherein the video is reviewed, has this to say (emph. BO):

The Truth Movement's newest, most popular film is a documentary called Zeitgeist. Not nearly as professional as Change—the first five minutes consist of a black screen with bad audio of a professor discussing conspiracy theories dubbed over it—Zeitgeist still has weird power: Based solely on anecdotal evidence, it's probably drawing more people into the Truth movement than anything else. LINK

Actually, the "professor" in the introduction is a well-known writer and lecturer called Jordan Maxwell. Jordan Maxwell can be considered the "father" of David Icke and Michael Tsarion, two well-known authors and lecturers within the New Age Movement.

In their books, video's and lectures, these men will expose many things about the New World Order, another word for Babylon System. However, they will equally teach their audience the doctrines of the Mystery Religion of Babylon.

And most of all: they will present it as "the Truth"...

After all, their work is supposed to contribute to the "Truth Movement", just like the movie "Zeitgeist". But when "Beauty Is Truth", how "true" is the message of the movie?

Beautiful it is, that's a fact.

At least, when you don't like "religion". Or to be more specifically, "Christianity". Or even more specific: "fundamentalist Christians like George Bush".

The main message of the movie Zeitgeist, namely, is the very same as that which can be found in an FBI report called "Project Megiddo", wherein the statement is made how those who believe that the Biblical Apocalypse is at hand are to be seen as "terrorists":

Religiously based domestic terrorists use the New Testament’s Book of Revelation -- the prophecy of the endtime -- for the foundation of their belief in the Apocalypse. (LINK)

In an interview with the maker of the movie Zeitgeist, he speaks about the "Cult of Christianity" being responsible for just about every evil you can think of, including the current "War on Terror".

Christianity, a "cult"?

Yes, says the Zeitgeist. Christianity is a cult of the ancient pagan Sun worship and Jesus Christ is nothing but a mythological figure invented to describe an astrological process leading to a New Age, that of Aquarius.

After all, Jesus was born on the 25th of December, just like all other Sun Gods, right? And since He called Himself the Light of the World, it's pretty clear how Jesus is not the SON (of God), but the SUN! In the end, it's just a small step from O to U, right?

Right...

Welcome to the bizarre reasoning of Zeitgeist: The Movie.

The first part of the three-part video can, and perhaps should, be described as "an excursion into stupidity". Facts and fiction are mixed, while the reasoning itself is so absurd that anyone who believes the claims should be considered a serious case of intellectual disability.

All of this wouldn't even be worth writing about, if it were not for the fact that countless of people worldwide apparantly do believe the claims. And it's highly unlikely, that the majority of them will be open for the many excellent rebuttals of these claims, such as the Video "Zeitgeist Refuted".

To make it even more bizarre, parts two and three of the video are very factual and to-the-point. The second part contains an excellent summary of evidence which proofs how 9/11 was an Inside Job, where part three takes us deeper into the shady world of (quote) "the men behind the curtain".

So, what is going on? What is, to quote that one article "Beauty Is Truth", the "weird power of Zeitgeist"?

Hmmm...

Wait a minute...

"Beauty is Truth"?

"When It Looks Good, It Must Be True"?

There's indeed a weird power of Zeitgeist and that weird power is nothing less than the power of Reverse Reasoning. The kind of reasoning you can expect from your average New Age propagandist, but not from a member of a self-proclaimed "Truth Movement".

Beauty, namely, does not necessarily have to be true. But for a member of the Truth Movement, the opposite would apply very well: "Truth Is Beautiful"!

In the video, we hear Jordan Maxwell saying: "You Shall Know the Truth And The Truth Shall Set You Free". Apart from the fact that this saying can be found in the offices of the CIA, the original quote came out of the Mouth from the One Who is said to be a myth: Jesus Christ.

You see, Jesus Christ is worshipped as God by many within the Truth Movement. Even though the Truth Movement itself is not religious or spiritual persay, many will call themselves "Christian".

Christianity, and especially the Person and Message of Jesus Christ, is an offense and a stumbling block for the New Age Movement, who seeks to re-install the Days of Noah or "Atlantis".

The New Age Movement is known to be very aggressive and has an elaborate infiltration program as it seeks to transform every aspect of society and humanity in order to inaugurate a New Age: the "Age of Aquarius"...

This "New Age" is supposed to replace the current one, the "Age of the Fishes" represented by... Jesus Christ.

Closer research into the doctrines of the New Age Movement will reveal how everything is part of a plan to re-install the situation as it was in the days of Noah, or "Atlantis".

Obviously, this very same New Age Movement has it's agents in the Truth Movement as well. Agents like Michael Tsarion and now, more recently, Peter Joseph of Zeitgeist: The Movie.

For the movie Zeitgeist is a New Age document avant la lettre.

Not only does it announce the New Age of Aquarius that gave name to the New Age Movement in the first place, it contains all the standard (astrological) New Age Doctrines and Interpretations as well.

Zeitgeist: The Movie therefore is nothing more than a Propaganda Piece for a Movement that serves the very same New World Order it claims to oppose.

Nuff Said.
