MYSTERY BABYLON (75)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (75)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 28 2008 - Babylon has moved her "Head Quarters" from the land of what we now know as Iraq, to Iran or Persia, to Greece, to Rome.

At least that had been foretold by the ancient prophet Daniel and world history confirms this, calling it the "origin and development of civilization".

Religion, culture, economics and politics are basically the same throughout the several phases of Mystery Babylon's development.

From the days of Nimrod to these days of George Bush, we see the development of a system that Reggae singer Peter Tosh referred to as a shitstem and rightly so...

Cause when you read in the Bible, you will find that JAH speaks about beasts, referring to the stages of this very same system!

STEP IT INNA DIGITAL STYLE
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, March 2008 - Step It In A Digital Style? Step It In Different Digital Styles could also be said, as this Podcast shows us eight different styles in eight different titles. Heavy DUB, an interesting remake of the classic "Smoking My Ganja", and words of the respectable Haile Selassie and MLK: let's step it!

This podcast surely gives an interesting insight in the many ways digitally based producers can work. The choice of the selection is remarkable and well thought out, while the music is presented in a no-nonsense style to let the music speak for itself.

Some cross the realms of Reggae to explore other regions, where others enter from these regions into the realm of Reggae.

We hear an interesting remake of the Drum Song Riddim and an even more interesting remake by the Soothsayers Horns of what was (one of the first) releases on the now legendary UK based Greensleeves Label: A ska-ish tune called Smoking Mi Ganja, originally performed by the band Capital Letters.

Step It! In A Digital Style will definitely have some very pleasant moments for those that usually do not like a digital style, even for those that usually look for a Reggae-only Podcast.

Step it!

MYSTERY BABYLON (74)

Dubroom Online - Edition March 27, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (74)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 27 2008 - Christopher Columbus planted a flag on land that was not his own and claimed it for the system that he worked for.

It was part of what is known as "The Plan", which became more clear when "Founding Father" Francis Bacon released a book called "The New Atlantis" to describe the "New World" we know as "America".

Officially, the story goes that the continent has been called America because of a guy called Amerigo.

But researchers found out that it is way more likely that the word comes from Amaru and basically means "Land of the Serpent".

The Serpent, or the old dragon called Satan...

STOP THAT TRAIN #11

STOP THAT TRAIN #11
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, March 2008 - The fact that Stop That Train #11 has a Messian Dread track in the mix is not the reason why you are reading this review. The Podcast is filled with crucial DUBS and vocals (in that order) and has a 30 minute presentation of Joe Gibbs productions as well.

The people who run the Stop That Train Podcast are the same ones that release material under the name Version Big-Fi. Their releases, remixes are as good as their Podcasts and so they receive awards.

The 11th episode starts off with heavy selection of DUB, old and new (skool). There's a Dubroom Production in the mix, so we give thanks for that. Other Online DUB Artists are featured, as well as an interesting remix of Bob Marley's "Is This Love" by the Version Big-Fi crew.

That's all in the first part of a magnificent 1 hour and 16 minutes worth of Old and New (skool) DUB and (other) Reggae Music.

The second part is reserved to memorize Joe Gibbs, who passed away, in February 2008. The fact that the all-time classic Uptown Top Ranking is included says enough about this respected Reggae producer who leaves an enormous legacy of essential material.

Reggae Music Strong!

MYSTERY BABYLON (73)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (73)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 26 2008 - When Christopher Columbus was doing his thing, Mystery Babylon had already taken her place in large parts of Europe.

The whole world knew about it, too.

Europeans went all over the globe to colonize the lands and it's peoples. There was no continent that was not confronted with the fact that Europe was going through what is now known as a "Golden Age"!

Spearheaded by the Dutch East and West Indian Companies, the world saw globalization before the word was even invented.

And the sight was terrible.

"WHEN RHYTHM WAS KING"

"WHEN RHYTHM WAS KING"
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, March 2008 - US Based Reggae label Heartbeat is the official distributor of Studio One, which is a thing you really know after listening to "When Rhythm Was King". Version on Version of the classic sound of the Studio that gave birth to too many riddims to mention.

Joshua B, selector of the official Podcast by the Reggae Label, made sure that all disciplines of Reggae are represented in this presentation of Studio One material. Vocal Harmony groups, Singers, DJ's and DUB: it's all there.

The title refers to another release by the label, but in a way there's something to say about it. When you listen to contemporary Reggae and Dancehall, you will find that many of the original Studio One riddims are still used today. So, Riddim is still King.

The unmistakable sound of Jamaica's first recording Studio is perfectly captured in the Heartbeat re-release, and the fact that our host plays Version to Version should give us a hint where to go when we need to listen to that classic sound.

Nice (Studio) One!

MYSTERY BABYLON (72)

Dubroom Online - Edition March 25, 2008


"MYSTERY BABYLON (72)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, March 25 2008 - Why did Quetzalquatl tell the Maya that he would return and complete his "civilization project" together with white people?

Personally I believe it was part of what insiders call the "Plan Of The Ages". It's a Plan that has been revealed in the Bible and uncovered by many researchers.

That Plan basically is to create a One World Order and restore the Days of Noah or "Atlantis".

Ages before Christopher Columbus was said to have "discovered" "America", even ages before Babylon had set her headquarters in Europe, it was already known how one day the "western hemisphere" would be under Babylonian rule.

ROOTS MAN DUB

ROOTSMAN DUB
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, March 2008 - The third episode of the official Heartbeat Reggae Podcast doesn't just serve as a high quality promo for the DUB Album with the same title, owners of the album want to have this one as well.

The Heartbeat Reggae Podcast is more than just promotion of their releases. It's actually a positive contribution to the promotion of Reggae Music in general.

In just over half an hour, Joshua B takes us through a number of DUBs on the Heartbeat release Roots Man DUB, a double CD that is much more than just a re-release from a Jamaican LP from the 1970's.

Well worth a purchase, you will probably find after listening to the 30 minutes in which our host takes us to a number of tracks taken from the release.

However, since he also plays the vocal counterparts, you will want to listen to the Podcast as well in case you already have it.

And in case you're unable to buy the albums, you will enjoy over half an hour worth of Serious Rockers, showcase style!
