JAH CURE

JAH CURE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




It was Capleton who gave Siccature Alcock the name by which we all know Jah Cure. He is a remarkable Jamaican vocalist, whose vocal talents and skills give an extra dimension to the allready rich tradition of Jamaican music.


DOWNLOAD: JOURNEY RIDDIM

Starting with strings, slowly the Journey Riddim builds up, while Jah Cure voices the introduction perfectly. The drum and bass subsequently drop in and out in what is really an original, surprising riddim.

A One Drop drums is accompanied by some creative keyboard hits, the singer mixed perfectly with effects and background vocals.

NEW AGE RAGE (3): PETER JOSEPH

NEW AGE RAGE (3): PETER JOSEPH
BABYLON OBSERVER RADIO REVIEW




WWW, October 2008 - What happens when talk show host Alex Jones wakes up to the fact that the video Zeitgeist is a piece of New Age Propaganda? He invites the maker of the video for an interview.

In February of this year, the Babylon Observer published a review on the movie "Zeitgeist". It was subtitled: "An Excursion Into Stupidity". The video was all about how Jesus Christ was a myth invented by people who are now basically controlling the world. It mixed truth with New Age propaganda of such "teachers" as Jordan Maxwell.

Much of that propaganda was so blatantly wrong, that the maker of the video, a guy who calls himself Peter Joseph and who says he works in the television industry, had to release a second edition with some of the errors corrected.

Recently, Peter Joseph released another movie, with more of the traditional New Age Nazi rhetoric. The New Age "Plan" is so blatantly proposed in the video, that even Alex Jones of the Infowars radio show woke up to the fact that "Zeitgeist" has nothing to do with exposing Babywrong, and everything with bringing forth the very same New World Order that the movie claims to oppose!

Alex Jones decided to bring Peter Joseph on his show for a "discussion". This discussion turned out to be an enormous spectacle as the Texas based host confronts an unbelievably arrogant Peter Joseph, whose whole appearance matches perfectly with his extreme elitist philosophy.

As he unfolds his plan for his New Age Utopia, the moviemaker speaks about how people have to be "re-conditioned" in order to live in his preferred "society". A society which -not surprisingly- looks remarkably similar to Hitler's Third Reich and Communist countries such as the former Soviet Union and China.

There's one thing which holds him from establishing his Utopia, though. Peter Joseph gets the most passionate when he speaks about it, and he calls it "religion". Actually, to be more specific, "Christianity". From the Vatikan, the city with the seven hills, to the individual worship of Jesus Christ by countless of people worldwide: Peter Joseph knows just where the trouble is!

After all, in the eyes of the Zeitgeist creator, there is no such thing as "evil". That would only be a concept created by "religion", and it would disable people from moving into his Utopia.

Alex Jones, known for his rants and confrontive way of interviewing, counters Peter Joseph. Jones' views, namely, more than oppose that of the creator of Zeitgeist. After all, in the eyes of Alex Jones, there is definitely such a thing as "evil".

The result is about two hours of chilling audio, wherein once again the fascistic nature of the New Age philosophy and mentality is exposed.

Join the Babylon Observer with a good chuckle, several smiles, and hope with him that Alex Jones might wake up to the fact that there is way too much New Age propaganda in what is called the "Truth Movement".

Listen to the interview, and then listen to Alex Jones' evaluation he did the other day as he also interviewed a couple of more people concerning "Zeitgeist".

MYSTERY BABYLON (150)



Dubroom Online - October 21, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (150)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, October 21 2008 - Many of us have been trained, conditioned, to take our own feelings as the highest source of information. This is a thing which has been carefully planted in society.

Actually, it's very old. there's even some academic word for it: Hedonism...

Hedonism is a way to keep whole populations under mental slavery, where these populations themselves think that they are free.

The most recent proponent of this was a man called Aleister Crowley. "Do what you will (feel), is the whole of the law", he wrote in a book that was dictated to him by some entity that looked remarkably similar to what is currently known as a "Grey Alien".

Aleister Crowley has a major influence on many of today's thinkers, from politicians to musicians and everything in between.

It is his parroting of the entity that came to him after he had some kind of ritual in the Great Pyramid (yeah, the one of the One Dollar Bill) which keeps many people today from breaking free from Babylon.

More Tomorrow...

DUBSTA CHAPTER FOUR

DUBSTA CHAPTER FOUR
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, October 2008 - From Studio One to the current House studio's and online artists: everything DUB is in the fourth chapter of the excellent DUBSTA series. Once again, a deep deep excursion into DUB space.

We definitely go beyond the realm of what is generally considered to be Reggae Music in this one hour mix of some very extra-ordinary material. A bit of R&B and House isn't avoided at all by the selectors, which makes the (90%) Reggae even more strong.

After all, the theme of the Dubsta series is obviously DUB: from the ancient times when it was born to the present times wherein the art and technique is present in musical styles that have in themselves nothing to do with Reggae at all.

The selectors behind the Dubsta series don't go too far beyond the realms of Reggae, however. In this mix, there is even a Dub version from a track by the 1980's band "The Police" which cannot be defined other than contemporary Dub Reggae.

That is, just after one of the hardest online Dub artists at the moment (Fried Wire) gives acte d' presence with another crucial piece of original Dub Reggae: another highlight in this highly interesting and well-balance one hour selection of dub, dub and dub.

ALPHA AND OMEGA WITH JONAH DAN - WATCHING OVER I
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW




WWW, October 2008 - Alpha and Omega love their audience enough to have their video technician create a clip around a tune even before it is officially release and they put it online for you and I to enjoy.

Alpha and Omega are a leading force within UK DUB with their own specific sound and basslines. Deep, deep basslines!

They've had a whole legion of vocalists voicing over their original riddims and the result is something very unique that you just cannot afford to dislike when you're into DUB, even "just" into Reggae Music.

In "Watching Over I", UK vocalist Jonah Dan sings over the riddim, chanting spiritual words of wisdom that will appeal to the Righteous Rastaman and others who know themselves. The tune, according to the description given by Alpha and Omega who put the video online themselves, is currently in it's pre-release stage.

A sign of Raspect to the audience, let's give them Raspect too and buy their material as they need it!

MYSTERY BABYLON (149)



Dubroom Online - October 20, 2008

"MYSTERY BABYLON (149)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, October 20 2008 - I've been in many reasonings with people who did not want to admit that they themselves are initiated, enslaved, until a certain degree.
Sure, some might admit to it, but do not see it as much further than a slogan. A cliché, even, to stop a deep reasoning.

So it's not just enough to acknowledge the fact that we are all initiated into Babylon Mystery to a certain degree. For the mere fact that -more or less- each and everyone of us have this situation to deal with, makes some of us stop working on it altogether.

In order to Step Out Of Babylon, we must also Step Out Of... Ourselves.

Most of us, namely, have been trained to have their own feelings as the standard by which they judge what they have to do or not.

More Tomorrow...

ROOTS MINISTRY MIXDOWN PART EIGHT
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, October 2008 - Selector Papa Jason of the German based Roots Ministry Sound System takes us into a Dancehall vibe extraordinaire! Digital vibes galore and well versatile. When you can take it, that is.

Ever since Jammy's came up with the now legendary Sleng Teng riddim, Jamaican studio's have been applying digital possibilities with various results. Some people went wild, while others couldn't apprecilove it at all. The debate continues until this day...

Much has happened after Sleng-Teng, obviously. The specific UK DUB and Roots sound rests heavily on the sound of the Drum computer, for example. But also Dancehall and Jamaican Roots of today has gone digital for a large degree.

The 8th episode of the Roots Ministry Mixdown series takes us -for the most part- back to the early days of the digital era. Many things were kinda new, even revolutionary, and so experimentation was the order of the day.

Simply a very, very interesting experience to hear some of those early digi-tunes again. In a time wherein a whole generation grew up with digital music and many prejudice of back then have faded in the trails of history, it's never a bad thing to know where we're coming from: another service from the Roots Ministry for which we give thanks.

Nuff thanks!

WWW, October 2008 - It's a fact, that not all Dubroom visitors and readers are interested in all things that the Dubroom puts out. That's why there are now 10 different site feeds and mailing lists. Read all about it in the tenth episode of Dubroom In-Site!

(DUB) Reggae and Consciousness. The Dubroom attracts people who are looking for music, and people who are looking for information. And even though the statistics make it quite clear that most of the readers and visitors are -kinda- interested in both, there is a group with a more specific interest.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes this site receives feedback from people who do not really like to be confronted with contents they didn't ask for. One can think of someone who is just interested in the music and not in digging into the lyrics so to speak, but it can also be the other way around.

If it were only that, one could say, well, just skip stuff you don't like. Which is usually the case. But there's something else, too.

Thus far, the Dubroom had only one mailing list and site feed: Dubroom Online, with the latest reviews and articles all in one e-mail. In this list, everyone gets something but not enough.

This is now changed.

No, the main list won't change at all. Those who are subscribed will not have to do anything. It's just, that a total of nine lists have been added to which you can subscribe via email or via your browser by the means of site-feeds.

All of this could be done, because of four new Dubroom Weblogs each of which has two different feeds: the postings and the comments. Here's a list of all our blogs (links open in a new window): The blogs have been created in these last weeks. Currently, older material is posted along with the new but that process is entering a final phase. So it could be, that if you subscribe now allready, you might find a few older items in your in-box too. This is especially the case with the reviews.

Anyway, most of the work is done: the feeds and lists all work automatically and should function properly. Click HERE for the Feeds or Click HERE for the Mailing Lists.
