MYSTERY BABYLON (39)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (39)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 13 2008 - The dream that king Nebuchadnezzar had, showed how the "succeeding world empires" which are usually acknowledged in the school text books are all part of that one system of which the head is located in Babylon.

On the other hand, the dream also shows how there is no mention of "evolution", but quite the contrary. Everything started with gold, only to end in a bizarre mix of iron and clay.

There is something more to say about that mix-up, but for now, we notice that there is no mention of evolution and progress.

Oddly enough, this very same thing can be said about just any "civilization" that has been recognized by the scientists and archeologists. Closer research will reveal, how each and everyone of them... started at their peak!

REGGAE NEWS PODCAST #1
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, February 2008 - The UK based Reggaenews website has our attention for a long time now. They introduced us to some very interesting artists and bands and with the start of the Reggaenews Podcast we can only give thanks and praise once more.

In just eight titles, of which only one comes without (excellent) DUB version, the first episode of the Reggaenews Podcast takes us back to studios in Jamaica, the USA and the UK.

In chronological order, that is...

And in a no-nonsense style too!

The show starts with a couple of older Jamaican releases, of which especially the legendary King Tubby DUB of Cornell Campbells "Two-Face Rasta" stands out. After a couple of US based releases, we go straight to the UK and listen to some 10" releases by the independent SHEMESH label which at the time the Podcast was mixed were still unreleased.

This is the kind of Podcast that has something for everyone, and the fact that all titles come from vinyl will also be pleasing in the ears of certain ones who can still not get used to the digital sound of the CD.

Get this one while it's still around!


PLAYLIST

1. Twinkle Brothers - Room full all full (Camel 7")
2. Cornell Campbell - Two face Rasta + Version (Barbell 7")

MYSTERY BABYLON (38)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 12, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (38)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 12 2008 - According to the second chapter of the Book of Daniel in the Bible, the king of Babylon had a dream.

Nebuchadnezzar saw a big statue of himself. The head was made of gold, the chest and arms made of silver, the legs were made of iron and the feet were made partly of iron and clay.

It turned out, that the different parts of the statue were symbolical for the four stages in which Mystery Babylon would try to achieve the One World Order she craves for so much.

From head to toe, though, we seen a decreasing level of strength and beauty. The two feet were actually made of iron and clay, which everybody knows doesn't mix too well.

PETER TOSH - STEPPING RAZOR, RED X
Dubroom (DUB) Reggae Video Review



WWW, February 2008 - Based on the autobiographical "Red-X Tapes" only found after his death, Stepping Razor takes us to the life, works, motivation and meditation of Peter Tosh.

Get ready for one of the better documentaries made on Reggae and Rastafari!

During his life, nobody seemed to know about his secret tapes. He marked them "Red X", because, as he explains, he always saw his name on official documents marked with a red X. He knew he was going to die one time for the things that he said...

It looks like the plot of a conspiracy movie, but in realty they formed the blueprint for this impressive documentary, that should be seen by everyone even remotely interested in the Conscious side of Reggae Music.

In the movie, we are confronted with a number of witnesses and facts that throw enormous amounts of doubt to the official story around the killing of Peter Tosh, that says he was killed at a "robbery". Original (bloody) photo's and reconstructions add to what is yet another clear case of a Babylonian Assassination of yet another Freedom Fighter and Truth Teller.

We can hear how Peter Tosh speaks about his childhood, too, when he was terrorized by the Babylonian doctrines of "Christianity". A "Christianity" that told black people, they were born black because of their iniquity and how "Jesus" would wash them "Whiter as Snow".

Obviously, being by far the most militant of the Wailers, we are also introduced to the (spiritual) warrior that he was. Peter Tosh was very much aware of the existence of evil and how only the Creator Himself could protect him from it by giving him the power to fight against evil.

This war of the devil against JAH was the predominant theme in the life and works of Peter Tosh, who is quoted in the movie as saying: "Knowing the Truth is dangerous. You can get killed over it".

No, this is not your average biographical documentary about your average super star. Even though the video also shows his carrier as a musician, STEPPING RAZOR actually goes much deeper than that and the result is one of the better documentaries made about Reggae and Rasta.

MYSTERY BABYLON (37)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 11, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (37)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 11 2008 - From the days wherein Nimrod founded Babylon after the Great Flood until this current age of globalization, we can discover a long, unbroken line.

"Empires" came and went, but not really. The culture, the religion, the politicks: everything stayed just the way it was and only changed in details such as the geographical location of the main power centers.

It's in our face, too!

The official version of earth's history speaks about the region of Babel as the "cradle of civilization" and the current globalist era as an "obvious result" of the "evolution of civilization"...

STEPPIN' YOUTH - DIGITAL ROOTS #2
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, February 2008 - In part two of "Digital Roots", we dig deeper and deeper into the fertile soil of Reggae Music to discover the heartical and upfull vibes from especially UK DUB and ROOTS!

Next to Jamaican productions, UK DUB is a powerful notion within Reggae Music. UK Roots is another one. Especially with the introduction of digital techniques in the 1980's, the difference between Jamaica and the UK based music became apparent.

Jamaica "went Sleng-Teng" and "slackness" became the order of the day in the Dance, where many UK based Sound Systems and studios further developed Roots Music in Word and Sound.

This Roots Tradition is upheld until this very day. Arguably, you actually have more chance to find spiritual and other conscious lyrics than slackness in a UK ROOTS release!

Part two of Steppin' Youths excellent presentation of (digital) UK DUB and ROOTS takes us straight into the conscious heart and soul of an all-star list of representants of the genre.

We're being treated to a number of great vocal tunes, where most titles will come with their DUB version as well. DUB versions, all skillful works of Art.

A huge part is reserved for the productional works of Steve Moscoe aka JAH WARRIOR, whose collaboration with Jamaican vocalists and Dougie Wardrop's Conscious Sounds Studio produced too much fruits to mention.

Another great Podcast from the Paris based STEPPIN' YOUTH Sound System!

MYSTERY BABYLON (36)

Dubroom Online - Edition February 10, 2008

"MYSTERY BABYLON (36)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, February 10 2008 - Nimrod's dream to create a One-World-Order was significantly hindered by the Most High's response to his initial attempt.

Now, in the 21st century, it becomes more and more clear how throughout history there has been a plan to unify the world under one Church and State, namely that of Mystery Babylon.

We live in the age of what is known as "Globalization".

Politicians, religious leaders, scientists and journalists all agree that we are rapidly heading towards the creation of a One World System. And most of them are enthusiastic about it, too!

You will hear them say that this is the obvious result of "the evolution of civilization", but those who know about Mystery Babylon and her ancient plan, would rather speak about an "Intelligent Design".

MUDIE'S MOOD: A HARRY MUDIE TRIBUTE

MUDIE'S MOOD: A HARRY MUDIE TRIBUTE

MUDIE'S MOOD: A HARRY MUDIE TRIBUTE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, February 2008 - In the 1950's, long before there was such a thing as "Rasta Reggae" or even "Reggae", Jamaican producer Harry Mudie started recording the Rasta music of Count Ossie.

A tribute to a man and his carrier!

Harry Mudie's carrier is truly long-lasting. After initially starting a Sound System in the 1950's, he shortly went to the UK to get education in electronics and subsequently founded his own club in Jamaica.

Not only was he the first to record Rasta Music, in a time wherein the word Reggae was yet to come into existence, he is also said to be the first producer to use string on Reggae Music.

Mudie has a number of classic riddims written to his account as well. The magnificent "Drifter" Riddim, for example.

Still, the name of Harry Mudie is not widely known, not even among Reggae Lovers. And this is where the crew behind the Melodies Of War podcast try to make a change, for which we give thanks.

MUDIE'S MOOD contains an interesting selection of productions, mostly of them from around the early 1970's, late 1960's. Mostly, but not solely: the show ends with a digital stylee, a hint towards the impressive length of Mudie's carrier.

Singers and Players of Instruments, DJ's and DUB engineers all give acte d'presence in 43 minutes of upfull Reggae Music that will definitely please the lover of a better style of Reggae Music.
