That France is currently the first home of the Dub is, probably got around. One of the people who is responsible for this laudable status of our neighboring country is called Fredread and manages a label called Buffer Tube Dub Sound. I first became aware of him when I discovered his superb album Webcam Hi-Fi: "Livity Is My Temple" two years ago. Now he is also presenting a second album in the incarnation “Webcam Hi-Fi”: “Feeding My Faith”, which is not as good as its predecessor, but still far above the level of average Dub-Productions ranked. In the style of a showcase album, it presents 17 pieces both as vocal and as Dub-Version. The sound of the album is classic, even tending to be conservative, nevertheless (or perhaps because of it) wonderfully warm and harmonious. There's actually nothing to complain about here: The songs are solid, they are Dubs perfectly crafted. This album is great to listen to while working or while surfing the web. It's more like a "feel-good factor" - you don't miss a lot if you don't listen carefully. But you completely miss the very pleasant atmosphere that this music creates if you do without the album.

Oops, think the album is a tad better than its predecessor! Well, tastes are different :-)
After your contribution I have to get “Livity Is My Temple”. I think Feeding My Faith is great. From my point of view you should listen carefully, especially with the first two pieces. "OOOH NOOO" and "CHANTING" are big hits. Then you can indulge in the "feel-good factor".
