LINTON KWESIE JOHNSON - DI GOOD LIFE

LINTON KWESIE JOHNSON - DI GOOD LIFE
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - A Video Clip with DUB Poet Linton Kwesie Johnson is kind of rare. When it's played on MTV, it's even more rare.

But here it is!



When LKJ entered the scene, the music that came with his poetry was deep, and hard. DUB effects and everything was there. In fact, it was LKJ's "Five Nights Of Bleeding" that got yours truly hooked on Reggae, somewhere in the early 1980's.

In 1992, the vibe had totally changed. Dennis Bovell, the musical genius behind LKJ, had taken himself and his musicians to higher grounds and they started to experiment with other styles, which they integrated with Reggae.

The result could be an upfull, ska-ish track with Africa style guitar licks.

Like "Di Good Life".

MYSTERY BABYLON (189)



Dubroom Online - November 29, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (189)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 29 2008 - As soon as I realized that the "Christian Reggae Scene" was nothing but a spiritual brothel where an abomination called the "Gospel Reggae Industry" was being produced, I started to do what many have tried throughout the ages.

They tried to REFORM Babylon, rather than STEPPING OUT.

I tried to stay inside of the scene, doing my best to propose -let's say- a "reformation".

I knew myself surrounded by wolves and parasites of the worst kinds. People who made no secret of their disdain for everything related to Reggae and Rastafari.

And what did I do?

More Tomorrow...

It shows the Power of Reggae: every one can join in and do his own thing.

DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - Usually, they are in the background, barely mentioned, while in fact they do all the work. Channel One Studio Band the Roots Radics ask your attention, please!

Sly and Robbie were part of the first Studio Bands of the legendary Channel one studio's in Jamaica, where just too many Roots Rockers and Rub a Dub is recorded to mention.

After the Aggrovators and the Revolutionaries, it was time for the studio to come up with their third band. The name was the Roots Radics, as they played one Rub a Dub after the other into the multitrack recorders at Channel one.

They are barely mentioned on the albums and the concert posters, when they performed to back this singer after that DJ. They played album after album, where only the DUB engineer took the credit.

Now this is changed.

Here is the Roots Radics, starring: The Roots Radics!

MYSTERY BABYLON (188)



Dubroom Online - November 28, 2008



"MYSTERY BABYLON (188)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, November 28 2008 - What kept me in the Christian Reggae Scene, after discovering such abominations as described in the previous columns?

The same what keeps us all in Babylon. For obviously, the one and only reason why I share so much about my own experience, is because I learned to recognize mechanisms and principals which can be applied to just about every situation.

For obviously, the "Gospel Reggae Industry" is one of the abominations spoken of when Babylon is not only described as the Mother of Harlots, but also as the Mother of all Abominations.

What you can say about Babylon, you can say about this "Gospel Reggae Industry". Just like, what you can say about Babylon, you also say about let's say the Purpose Driven Church.

More Tomorrow...

DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, November 2008 - We've come a long way after King Tubby started to spice up his instrumental B sides with effects, movie style. DUB EVOLUTION shows us how far the technique is developed in an excellent presentation of the better UK DUB.

Ariwa, JAH Shaka and Conscious Sounds are the most represented studio's on this collection of heavy drum and basslines as they can arguably only be produced in the UK.

Militant Steppers, pumping One Drop's, long and lasting echo's, righteous lyrics: from the top to the very last drop of this deeply recommended podcast we'll be moving and grooving while giving thanks for the Art called DUB.

Even Horace Andy's Kunta Kinte, even though the track some with full lyrics, could be filed under "Dub". There is just too much mixing going on to ignore.

Parte1
01. Manasseh - Zion Dubbing
02. Jah Shaka ft Twinkle Brothers - Jah Shall Reign Dub
03. Barry Issac - Creation Dub

WWW, November 2008 - One big party going on, as the MC's Clint Eastwood and General Saint pop up on stage with a full blown band to make some fun at the UK based "Old Grey Whistle Test".

"Another One Bites The Dust", is the title of the tune the DJ Duo performs. They were known from their world hit "Stop That Train", as representants of Rub a Dub Style in the World Charts.

And no, that is not "World Music". For every music is "World Music".

That aside...

Clint Eastwood and General Saint have a lot of fun together with the band and the audience, as they perform what was then a brand new Style of Reggae.
