Irie vibrations: Dub Station

There's something to celebrate at Irievibrations. The Viennese label around the three brothers Lechleitner (Professa, Tomic and Syrix) has released the hundredth album under the catalog number "Irie100". The remarkable thing about it: This anniversary will be celebrated with a flawless one Dub-Album: "Dub Station“(Irievibrations), for the producer Syrix some of the best tunes from the thirteen-year history of the lab personally by the Dub-Wolf turned. Thats something: Dub as the culmination of musical creativity. So it is right! After all, it is Dub yes, something like the meta level of a reggae piece. A reflection of the pure form. How could a retrospective be made smarter and more sophisticated? In short: I'm with Syrix and his brothers - good idea, good concept. Let's hear how both were put into practice: 14 Dubs gathers the "Dub Station ”, based on tunes by Luciano, Anthony B., Junior Kelly, Jahcoustix and Kabaka Pyramid - to name just the most prominent ones. All produced by Syrix and magnificent examples of the wonderfully round, harmonic "Irievibrations Trademark Sound". Nice arrangements, played perfectly, one hundred percent dynamic, tight and crisp. A bit mainstream, but never boring - which, by the way, also applies to the mixing style: Syrix celebrates the legacy of Tubby & Co in the highest perfection. No too daring experiments, no weird samples, not a bit radical - just classically beautiful. He can afford that because his source material is simply flawless. So why alienate it or over with samplesdubben? The only small criticism that could be noted is that the vocal part could have been reduced a bit. On the other hand, you would have to do without the nice melodies that are always heard here.
