Recent enjoyment:
Peter Jefferies - Last Great Challenge in a Dull World Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown Black Uhuru - Red The Fall - Slates and Dragnet The Congos - Heart of the Congos The Mekons - Fear & Whiskey Throwing Muses - s/t Both Dazzling Killmen records. Those dub/reggae records are pretty much my introduction to this music. The Congos' album was the first I got, but it's fucking incredible - I must've listened to it about 20 times since I got it just over a week ago. Really enjoying the Uhuru and Pablo records too. Anyone got some more good Jamaican records they can recommend? |

Ah, yes. I was just feeling in the mood for this yesterday, couldn't find my copy, and listened to People's Instinctive Travels.. Instead. It's always been my favorite, having been the first I heard, but it did not hit the spot. Still good, but now I have a soul aching urge to hear marauders. |
![]() Not only do I think this is their best album, but they are one of the few groups or bands to make their final record one of their finest! Talk about going out ontop! ![]() I'm listening to this record for like the sixth time in the past two weeks. it is fantastic fucking record! I could listen to Sway like fifty times on repeat..

The Heart of the Congos is one of the most mystical, spiritual, and yet political albums ever made of any genre, let alone rootz reggae. It is the encapsulation of Rastafari in record format, if anything the only stronger album is Rastafari by Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus ;) Quote:

It deserves to be in the same breath. If anything, you're honoring Doggystyle. I think the order is off completely, but that's just me. It's your breath. Wait, no, Cuban Linx... Then the rest. :D I really need Wu Tang Forever on vinyl. I have a very small hip hop vinyl selection, but if anythin's a must have, it's Forever, and definitely Midnight Marauders. |

EDIT: but yeah i might take your advice and cop Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords before the WC classix. |
![]() There's a member of thought forms on this board, right? good stuff! Come play vienna sometime soon! |

Thanks for that! I'm gonna order that Scientist record tonight, as I asked a friend of mine who's a big dub fan and he also said it's one to get. I'll check out that Grass Roots of Dub record too, sounds fantastic. And fuck yeah, Arkology looks fantastic! Lee Scratch Perry seems like some sorta fuckin' genius, from what I read. His production job on the Congos record I mentioned is certainly sublime, that much I do know. Can't wait to get hold of Arkology. SuchFriends - thanks for that, I can absolutely see where you're coming from with regards to The Heart of the Congos. Beautiful stuff. I'll try and get the other record you mentioned. |
I had a friend who back in 1999, would spin dub in Austin at various functions. fucking awesome so loud out in the open air.

I've listened to this a couple of times over the few months I've had it. However, it was today that I discovered the true brilliance of it. |
