Scientist - Scientist Dubs Culture into a Parallel Universe '2000/2022

Tracks list

       The dub version of Culture's 2000 vocal album Payday, Scientist Dubs
Culture into a Parallel Universe deserves the revised billing of the title: This
is Scientist's album all the way. Culture's original recordings are sliced and
diced into entirely new configurations, with only the barest traces of the
original melodies and Joseph Hill's commanding vocals remaining. Retitled with
imagery drawn from the golden age of science fiction, the songs also revisit the
golden age of dub. Unlike the over-processed, electronic style of most modern
dub, Scientist is kicking it old-school here: Echo chambers, reverb, hand
percussion, horns, even bits of Augustus Pablo-style melodica and Lee "Scratch"
Perry-trademarked sound effects float by on booming roots-style rhythms powered
by Phanso's hyperkinetic drums and Glen Browne's deep-toned, rich bass. The
resulting dubs sound simultaneously ultra-modern and reverentially
roots-oriented. A uniformly powerful and mellow dub set, Scientist Dubs Culture
into a Parallel Universe proves that proper roots dub still survives in an age
when gimmickry and novelty rule.
