Various – roots of dub funk 3 (CD)



A good friend of mine bough a bunch of used CDs at a garage sale (something like 20 CDs for 5.00$). After sorting out the pile he gave me the ones he didn`t want to keep. The first thing I see is this `roots of dub funk 3 `compilation. Once in a while I like chilling out with some dub. There`s 12 tracks in there (45.13 minutes). You will hear pieces from the likes of Brain Damage, Alpha And Omega, Dub 2 Dub, Jah Warrior, Version City Rockers , Dub Funk Association , Teacha, Burning Babylon , DJ Perch, Ras Shaggai and Vibronics. If you`re into reggae, dub, roots reggae (with a dash of electronics on the side) you will like this. Otherwise, this compilation is a great introduction to the genre. Standout tracks are:
2 – Alpha And Omega – Jerusalem (4.10 minutes) = a meditative / psychedelic / relaxing / hypnotic piece of British roots dub. Excellent.
5 – Version City Rockers – deeper roots (3.14 minutes) = a beautiful fusion of dub / reggae and electronic music. What else is there to say? I got this as a freebie and you can`t have it. Sorry about your damn luck.
