"There is another Scientist/Jammy disc on Auralux too called DC Dub Connection, I think. That came out last couple of months."
a mint cd edition of this turned up in the 50p bin today :-)

What do Ilxors think of the UK-based Prince Fatty/ Mungo's Hi-Fi/Congo Natty/Hollie Cook dub axis?
― monoprix à dimanche (dog latin), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 15:54 (nine years ago) link
i really love the congo natty album.for all its sonic chaos and excess, its a great sounding album (and yes, adrian sherwood is probably to blame for this !).i only have the first couple of prince fatty albums, and they are pleasant enough and fun. sunny afternoon festival reggae.hollie cook : the first album kinda of went nowhere for me as the best track(s) had already appeared on the prince fatty album, howwevber, if i see the dub version i will get it.as for mungo's, again, i only have the album that was released on rockers revolt a few years back, and it's ok though i have never been a big fan of the dancehall genre (though in recent times i have succumbed more and more).question : is the soundclash album between mungo and prince fatty worthy ?

can anyone tell me if this is an original cut or is he using a riddim from some other song here?

all the Tubby/Mudie albums are good, but that track is the best. I have a strong memory of playing that for my Dad a few years ago and him really liking it

How does it compare to vol 1?
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 18 December 2014 05:19 (nine years ago) link
well it's more focused on material from Chant Down Babylon Kingdom era - one of my favorite records, which I've wanted on vinyl for a long time - so it scratches that particular itch really well. Stop Your Quarrelling is great. I'm inclined to say I like this one more than vol 1 but I haven't really sat with it long enough to say definitively.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 December 2014 17:17 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I love Chant Down Babylon Kingdom. I'll probably pick it up. Thanks.

This is a mashup bootleg and I haven't seen any official release of it but I love it. Elvis Presley vs The Wailers - Crying at the Chapel.

so far I'd say Man Ah the Warrior is the best Tappa
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 21:14 (nine years ago) link
of what I've heard anyway
There's several reggae/dub mashups/mixes on youtube but I haven't heard many interesting ones. I think there's a Sam Cooke one that was made by the Heptones. Any similar examples to this Elvis/Wailers mashup that are good?
― Moka, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 21:17 (nine years ago) link
Also if you haven't heard the Rhythm Rulers Mudies Mood compilation it's amazing. Here's a spotify link http://open.spotify.com/album/72y8tlcZ49Zaso24JYXHpO

is Man A Warrior the one that uses the bassline from Papa Was a Rolling Stone?

hadn't occurred to me but yeah I guess the title track does do that

started reading Katz' "Solid Foundation" - only up to the rock steady chapter so far though
― Οὖτις, Monday, 12 January 2015 17:35 (nine years ago) link
More chapters than me...
Unrelated to that--Am curious about Jah9 who is gonna be live nearby me in February. Only 2 mentions on ilx that I saw.
― curmudgeon, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:05 (nine years ago) link
Katz's prose is as leaden as ever. I am starting to get a sense of the intricate webbing of relationships that built reggae though.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:07 (nine years ago) link
He's a really terrible writer sadly. Which is too bad because source material is obv rich.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 12 January 2015 18:16 (nine years ago) link
yeah he's a weird mixture of authoritatively detailed and totally boring
― Οὖτις, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:18 (nine years ago) link
I was hoping this book was a bit more Please Kill Me/We Got the Neutron Bomb style but no
― Οὖτις, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:19 (nine years ago) link
Yeah writing it as actual oral history might have been better.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 12 January 2015 18:35 (nine years ago) link
iirc, it's sort of like super-long liner notes to a massive box set. I remember liking it more than yall seem to, but I read that at peak roots obsessiveness
curmudgeon: you probably saw that Avocado song I posted to last year's reggae thread. I've maybe heard one or two more songs by her, and that was the best one though she's well liked by the roots revival crowd. LargeUp would probably have some more stuff.
― rob, Monday, 12 January 2015 18:59 (nine years ago) link
I liked Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley better than Solid Foundation.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 12 January 2015 19:37 (nine years ago) link
I like the Rough Guide to Reggae better than either.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 12 January 2015 19:55 (nine years ago) link
rough guide to reggae was better as a buying guide imo. it really reads like that, too. the albums are really the focus there.
bass culture has more flair and is more fun to read than solid foundation but i found it a little lacking as a kind of "authoritative history". he has a ton of opinions and they are fun to read but i don't always agree with him. it's a really good book though.
solid foundation is exhaustive and authoritative but can be kind of boring sometimes as others have mentioned. like rob though i didn't find it as bad as you guys do - i found plenty to enjoy in it! same goes for people funny boy. katz isn't a great writer but i appreciate the level of detail he gives.
― marcos, Monday, 12 January 2015 19:58 (nine years ago) link
The albums are the focus, but it's a good overview still.
― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 12 January 2015 20:00 (nine years ago) link
I appreciate the level of detail and as a reference book it's probably great, it's just an exhausting and dry read.
