Long buried late 70s dub from the mighty Linval Thompson – with Revolutionaries rhythms! It's prime level dub creatively – so the 2 great mysteries behind the set are why the material as a whole languished unreleased for as long as it did – along with who exactly handled the mixing. In any case – it's got the soulful voicing and echoey dub atmosphere you'd want – and it's wholly top notch all the way. Includes a healthy booklet of notes by David Katz, too! Titles includes "La La Means I Dub You", "One More Dub", "Lonely Dub", "Babylonian Dub", "Willow Tree Dub", "Boss Man's Dub" and more. CD
Funky club with jazzy touches – all served up in a stripped-down mode that takes us back to some of our favorite dancefloor experiments of the 90s! The groove here is somewhere in the house-y side of the Acid Jazz scene of early 90s London, or mid-decade work from the Tokyo club jazz crowd, or even a bit like "Hot Music" from Soho – a tune that would be a great comparison for the sound of this sweet little set! Rhythms are built from lots of sampled live jazz passages – so there's an acoustic warmth throughout, even when things are processed – and there's enough live jazz instrumentation to keep a spontaneous feel in the music as well. Titles include "Karabine", "Get A Wiggle On", "Voodoo Juju", "Black Milk", "Hip To The Jive", and "Solitaire". CD

Excellent rocksteady organ and piano tracks from the legendary Jackie Mittoo! Jackie's one of the true keyboard geniuses of the 20th Century, and his sound and style is instantly recognizeable on any recording.
