Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 12: Lone Ranger - Rock And Come In Dubwise

LONE RANGER - ROCK AND COME IN DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 21 2014 - This is the official release date of the 12th and final track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Lone Ranger - Rock And Come In Dubwise.

To close of this twelve-track presentation of heavyweight Dubwise selections introducing an equal number of original Dubroom riddims fresh from the studio in August 2014, another legendary MC. It's amazing how the Lone Ranger, just like all these other legends featured on this album, is still strong after all these decades of really hard, hard labor in the world of Reggae Music and Sound Systems everywhere.

The Dub starts of with Don Goliath singing that well known phrase which gave the title to this track. Don't think this is a remake of anything, though. It's not. What it is, is an original "Riddim of respect" if you will. Respect to all those vocalists riding the musical productions and especially those that can and should be considered legends.

Yes, in 2014 everything looks like as if everything happened in one time. There's the mid-late 1960's U Roy became founding father of the Reggae DJ's, followed by Dennis Alcapone. Then came the 1970's, when Dillinger and Trinity became two of the leading voices in the militant Roots Reggae DJ era and Kojak & Liza was formed. Soon after that, the 1980's when Horseman started in the 1980's recording for Greensleeves Records. 

And in fact, it is.

During the introduction, Lone Ranger says: "Later, will be greater. That's what the farmer said to the potato without planting the manipulator". Now, this 2014, could be that later. We've had all kinds of manipulated potatoes in the form of hybridized forms of music taking everything but the true soul of Reggae Music and turn it into whatever it is since these 1960's when the "potato" was planted. 

One thing still stands strong: (DUB) Reggae Music with that soul of Reggae Music firmly in charge. With respect for the Most High, chanting down Babylon with her ism's and schisms. Built on a solid foundation of drum and bass, making responsible use of the freedom that the Most High wants for His children.

Yes, indeed: just a little meditation to close the first full length Messian Dread album since almost a decade.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 11: Messian Dread - Crazy But Dubwise

MESSIAN DREAD - CRAZY BUT DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 20 2014 - This is the official release date of the 11th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Messian Dread - Crazy But Dubwise.

This is Dub! Undeniably and unmistakably Dub. This is Dub, from the top to the very last drop. Featuring Assante and US based MC Razaman being dropped into another dimension by an echo machine that tears all the frequencies apart and puts them back again in another galaxy. That's before the very same thing happens with the skanks. Things get so weird that Dillinger drops in and gives the title to this Dub. Which is then subsequently confirmed once again.

Think it's crazy? Well, yes, it is. But it is Dubwise too. And it's an obvious Messian Dread track. The Horn section (recorded in Mad Professor's Ariwa studio) plays a theme very similar to "Ethiopian Dub" (released way back then in the previous century on the debut album "One"), where the drum and bass line are pretty identifiable as well. This is a Dub produced with the love for crazy effects that every Dub Head has.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 10: Horseman and Dan man - Robber Dubwise

HORSEMAN AND DAN MAN - ROBBER DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 19 2014 - This is the official release date of the 10th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Horseman And Dan Man - Robber Dubwise.

This is a track for all the rude boys and hooligans. Horseman chants "Riddim", the skanks drop in and the Fire Face Music Horn Section starts to play. The drum and bass drop in, the skanks echo out and the horns get the Dub treatment. Dan Man steps in with a little singing line and when someone calls the police because of yet the next robbery, it's over for the rude boy. "Whatcha gonna do? Him hold you"

Yes, a serious thing yet the track should also be seen as a bit of a lighter one when it comes to, let's say, spiritual contents. After all, this is a track that's part of a full length Dub album, following up a rather serious and spiritual track and predecessing the next one, where the effect machine gets no rest at all. That's not to say that this one is a "filler", though. Not at all, especially not when you like your "dubbing with horns".

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 9: U Roy - Mash Down Satan Dubwise

U ROY - MASH DOWN SATAN DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 18 2014 - This is the official release date of the 9th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: U Roy - Mash Down Satan Dubwise.

Of Course, Daddy U Roy himself does not need an introduction. It simply is an honor for the Dubroom to be able to legally present the founding father of (not just) Reggae MC-ing riding an original Dubroom riddim. Mash Down Satan Dubwise has more than enough lyrics to make it absolutely clear that U Roy is absolutely not intending to take it easy at his old day. He praises the Most High and chants down Babylon continually, morning noon or night. 

Producing the full lyrical track from which this Dub is taken was quite an experience as well, where his enormous experience most definitely was guiding the process even though it came in the form of recorded material. The result is a very carefully dubbed track, that sometimes remincenses King Tubby's style and at other places makes heavy use of effects that weren't around during these early years of Dubwise. This one is a Dub of Raspect.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 8: Seamus - Babylon Dubwise

SEAMUS - BABYLON DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 17 2014 - This is the official release date of the 8th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Seamus - Babylon Dubwise.

Actually, this is a very special track on the album and one of the reasons is that there is hardly any knowledge about the singer that's featured on it. Still, this is one very crucial singer as you can hear in this five minutes and fifteen seconds of Dub from a full lyrical track that has at this moment still the "unreleased" status. His voice remincenses Junior Murvin (Police and Thieves) here and there, on top of "just" an overall highly impressive melodic style of singing. 

Starting of with a drum roll and riddim (skank) section soaked in echoes, at the tenth second a Dub siren enters and the drum and bass start playing. The drums (a steppers with a full blown snare) and the bass are of the solid kind, the kind that works very well in a Sound System set with an MC. The Dub is of the straight forward kind, the kind that just waits for some toasting, the kind that makes you wonder about the vocal version.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 7: Prince Jazzbo - Rastafari Dubwise

PRINCE JAZZBO - RASTAFARI DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 16 2014 - This is the official release date of the 7th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Prince Jazzbo - Rastafari Dubwise, introduced by Lone Ranger.

Actually, it would be more appropriate to speak about an introduction by Lone Ranger, Jazzbo himself and the Fire Face Music Horn Section. "Rastafari Dubwise" is an easy skanker, a Rub a Dub style track that will make you move along with the drum and bass line. While the echoes go from right to left and back again, Jazzbo drops in every now and then, leaving just enough food for thought and meditation about Jah.

Whatever you may think when you hear "Jah Rastafari", truth is that Jah is the One to be feared, the Head of creation. Whatever you may think when you hear "Rastaman" truth is that a true Rastaman is that humble lion Jazzbo speaks about. Whatever you may think when you hear Dubwise, truth is that Rastafari Dubwise is another heavyweight original Dubwise selection straight from the Dubroom studio.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 6: Messian Dread - Loving Dubwise

MESSIAN DREAD - LOVING DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 15 2014 - This is the official release date of the 6th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". It's called: Messian Dread - Loving Dubwise.

Often, the Art of Dub is described as the "Art of Taking Away". How true that is, and how true that is for "Loving Dubwise". Before this track became a Dub, there was quite a quantity of filling instruments: several guitars, even a violin and a quartet of singers: Assante, Tallis, Ras Khaleel and UK based female vocalist Mandy Edge. A truly joyful sound, which is emphasized by the effects. Lots of stereo effects, lots of multi-layered echoes and more technical niceness coming you way!

Both the title and -sparse but effective- lyrical content deal with that thing called Love. Not the slackness kind of love, but the love that makes people stop wars and fighting each other. The kind of love that brings forth fruit in due season, the same love that Kojak described on this very same album: Jah Love. It is Jah Love, that will take you higher.

Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection Track 5: Kojak - Prevailment Of Dubwise

KOJAK - PREVAILMENT OF DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE

Album Page at music.dubroom.org

WWW, August 14 2014 - This is the official release date of the 5th track of the album "Messian Dread Presents A Heavyweight Dubwise Selection Without Objection". Here is: Kojak - Prevailment Of Dubwise, introduced by Horseman.

Like Horseman says in the introduction: "Now this is the original Dub thing", and so it is. An original Dubroom riddim, written and produced especially for the crucial lyrics by -again- a legendary Jamaican Reggae MC. This one is a Dub from a full-length lyrical track that is unreleased at the time of this writing, but it surely carries enough vocal snippets to het yet another message across: Jah Love will Prevail!

The riddim is easy, but paying attention to the bass will reveal a deeper vibe than a first superficial listen might produce. Kojak's sing-jay style on top, sometimes leaving a long trail of echoes and a skank section that, well, cuts like a razor blade. It's actually a pretty meditative track, because it brings a peaceful vibe yet every now and then some effects pleasantly disturb it just enough to keep you with both feed on the ground.
