whenever i work from home i have all the intentions of seriously killing some of the ‘to review’ <\/EM>pile as i have soul saving singular access to the stereo meaning i can hammer the volume to the rafters, pile on the beats and noise and really get down to the bass driven monsters that are on the release schedule.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
however, as is often the case, monday morning comes around and the passion drifts away. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
instead the day drifts on with the usual rounds of school run, home based chores and general time killing mundanity.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
so having endured the beatles<\/STRONG> over the weekend to smiles all around just what would today be filled with ? <\/FONT><\/DIV>
indie punk funk inexcelsis ? electro-fied haircut soundtracks ? nu-rave ? sigue sigue sputnik ?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
naaaahh – sod all that – tried it, got fed up. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
making it time to hit the archive until the inspiration hits home.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
it’s not often, but today the reggae groove has been the source of total and utter joy. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
not the usual ireallylovemusic <\/EM>sanctioned on-u sound system <\/STRONG>extremes, instead the pleasure has been brought about by 70s dub and reggae-soul music from the likes of dennis bovell, <\/STRONG>the east vs west tag team of king jammy meets dry and heavy <\/STRONG>(an album i never really got into until today it must be said, but something clicked today), and the fantastic drawn out dubbed up brilliance of the compilation jack ruby hi fi <\/STRONG>that compiles 4 extra long explorations of song based reggae before adding splattering of old school dub excess making this <\/FONT>a seriously wonderful album.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
now i don’t have anything rare and special when it comes to this form of music to spread far and wide via the blog, instead i just rely on the brilliant trojan records<\/EM> mixtapes (hello andy smith, nextmen, madlib <\/EM>and dj shortkut <\/EM>adding a welcome hip hop element to the proceedings on the sister antidote <\/EM>label), <\/EM>and a few other bits and bobs that are available in any decent record shop. i mean <\/FONT>those dennis bovell <\/STRONG>reissues are dead cheap and a great starting point, and just about every fopp <\/EM>have a great selection to get the whole love flowing.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
here’s a king tubby<\/STRONG> dubbed up version of the much loved ali baba <\/EM>by lovers rock hero john holt, <\/STRONG>taken from the fine sound of the shebeen volume 2 <\/EM>compilation.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
mp3 : king tubby <\/STRONG>– i trim the barber  : <\/EM>here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV>
till next time.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
stay tuned.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
