Joe Gibbs & The Professionals - African Dub All-Mighty Chapter 3 '1978/2007

Tracks list

The third (and most impressive) of four volumes of dub mixes from the studio of
producer Joe Gibbs, African Dub, Chapter 3 finds engineer Errol Thompson getting
a bit more adventurous than he had on the earlier installments. More of these
dub versions keep shreds and snatches of the original vocal tracks in the mix,
which is almost always a plus in a dub context -- little snippets of disembodied
vocals float through the otherworldly musical atmosphere, lending a sometimes
spooky human element to the sound and often casting new and refracted light on
the meaning of the original lyrics. And on this volume, Thompson seems to be
taking a few cues from his competitor Lee Scratch Perry, throwing such
extramusical elements as water sounds (on Freedom Call) and ringing telephones
(on Jubilation Dub) into the mix along with the usual gossamer shreds of guitar,
horn, and keyboard. Highly recommended.
