In the Release Radar there is once again “DubOverkill" is the order of the day. Therefore, my selection has to be particularly strict. Although I still don't get any Dub really nausea and I also have to ki-dub not to the toilet but it is always a kind of cure for the ears and for the DubHeart, yes for the whole soul, when I look at these old and true Dubs. I have not heard a single Dub of these "Crucial Cuts" the feeling of hearing it for the first time. But even with this version of "King Tubby meets Rockers Uptown," I'm pretty sure I'm hearing a slightly different version than the one I already know. I feel that way about almost every version on "Crucial Cuts." What makes me personally very happy is that I don't know a single version well enough to be able to say with certainty, "I have that one too." Whether you really know every version of one and the same Dub I still doubt that it has to be on the shelf at home, but sometimes it can be quite important. Especially if you also have a "softDubVersion”. I am thinking, for example, of various Dubversions of some Burning Spear DubAlbums we've already talked about here. I don't really feel like looking up which "Volume X" it was. I find it particularly blatant with "Dub Side Of The Moon”. The first DubVersion of the Easy Star Allstars is just ridiculous compared to the Dubs, which are then properly put through the mill by the masters of their craft DubWolf and were given a good dose of spice on this occasion. For me, this is still a very crazy DubAlbum. Especially since it also does a good job of "disguising" the fact that Easy Star Allstars generally make, or have made, rather weak reggae.
It has now become completely clear to me that my memory is far from sufficient to Dubs to properly "assess" the albums I've certainly had at home for a long time. For me, every album is practically NEW! Even Bob Marley's albums aren't so worn out that they've lost their appeal. They're still full of "sound and rhythm umami" from start to finish and back again. This is certainly (everything's pretty certain these days) also because neither the curvature of space nor time itself could have, nor ever will have, an influence on the reggae of the blessed. That's not my opinion! It's just the way it is!!! ... ;-)
And that is exactly how it is with the Dubs ! (If they were not recorded by the Revolutionaries … or if their DubWizard would have had more fun with the “thing”). “In Germany, we have no Versions,
only facts!”
It is also a fact for me that I still, more occasionally than regularly, look for new Dub and I buy reggae records, but I keep finding that it all loses its blood pressure too quickly and quickly becomes "bloodlessed." The sound may be getting better and better, but that's not as significant as the slackness and randomness of the vocals and instrumentals. NO! That has absolutely nothing to do with my age, because when I put on "Get Up Stand" by Peter Tosh (!), for example, it still fills me with pure POWER, just like it did on the very first day, and above all, with extremely exciting musical arrangements.
The intro alone has more flair than entire Roberto Sanchez albums. Although his albums are still among the best I could find. But that's nothing compared to Sly and Robbie music.
I don't know if I'm just a little depressed at the moment, but between the lines I'm reading I can already feel a slow, creeping departure from the future the bigwigs have imagined for us. As I've often mentioned, I have enough music at home from person to person that still seems NEW to me. And if the bigwigs want to make my cup overflow with AI music, I'm out... (even if nobody cares). AI isn't capable of creating anything truly new, since it just rummages around in good old human creations and puts them together in a "new" way.
NO RESPECT for this bullshit! I'm sick of the "modern age." I'm going back to my time and enjoying "The Groooooove."
