Alpha and Omega's Sound System Dub is their first official U.S. release, even though they've had several titles available as imports. Purveyors of the dub/reggae style, the duo effortlessly composes meditative tunes that both relax and comfort the listener. This is especially evident on Sound System Dub, with all of the tracks being remixed versions of songs selected from their seven prior releases. Highlights include the previously unreleased "Africa/Ethiopa," as well as the liquid sounding-dubs "Who Is the Ruler" (which includes vocals from Woodbridge), the repetitive bass of "Sharu Att Our Aunt," the ethereal "Dub Flute," and the album's opener, "Rastafari." Sound System Dub serves as the perfect introduction to new fans since this is a 'best of" of sorts, and because these tracks are all worthwhile newly-remixed versions, this album also does a good job of appealing to longtime fans. For fans of expertly-crafted, inventive reggae, Alpha and Omega's Sound System Dub is highly recommended. Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Great record.......2006-08-02
What?.......2005-01-07
To say that "The Emotional Hooligan" is 90's dance music and then to effectively describe it as a collection of fun-tracks...I'm stumped, stymied, utterly confused.
At least try listening to it again. And this time try to visualise a real world around you.
Not being horrible Chris, just a bit staggered.

Wake Up!!.......2005-01-07
No, it's ok.
I'm not some swivel-eyed fanatical fan, extolling the virtues of my music world hero.
Gary Clail, however, is someone who knew something was fundamentally wrong, long before most of us had any idea our situation was that bad.
Listen to other things he has produced. It helped me over a coule of hurdles when I was trying to work out what was wrong with our common view of the world.
He's also a great communicator.
If I'm going to say anything fan-like, it's that I never tire of listening to his music.
It's more relevant to our situation today than ever.

i'd throw my own boot barty.......2004-07-12
delightfully groovy stuff from my hero calvin johnson, the K records/beat happening/halo benders guy. you wanna know what this sounds like? try imagining beat happening--with chops--auditioning to be james brown's backing band. (they wouldn't be chosen, of course, but they might just come up with something just as cool.)
Calvin Johnson is a better clerk than musician.......2004-04-10
Calvin, for God's Sake STOP making horrible music accentuating your awful voice and your lame, now trite, ideas. Please stop. People who like this music like you, not the music, and if they claim to like the music they're lying to build their indie cred. Stop this horrible joke.
This guy is loved b/c he started something great, NOT because he's actually a capable musician. DNSS is a terrible project that puts out horrible albums devoid of real musicianship and chock full of pretentious, overly precious preening over boring, poorly executed ideas.
Just retire Calvin. Please, for the good of the indie scene -- just stop lowering the artistic bar.

a great cd..........2001-10-10
Historically,ON U had a lot of difficulty being accepted by the London reggae community in the late 70's....people generally thought that roots music produced anywhere outside Kingston JA,just couldnt be the real deal,and on u had further difficulties in that their sound engineer,Adrian Sherwood,horror of horrors,was white!To increase their difficulties,onu were taking a downright weird approach to dubwize,which orthodox roots fans found difficult to accept.History in retrospective tho,has viewed the whole story VERY differently,and it is now acknowledged that good reggae CAN come out of places other than JA (See Pressure Sounds release for great UK roots album,"Dont call us Immigrants").Also,ONU employed the best of the best uk/ja roots talent...the radics,congos,Creation Rebel,Dennis Bovell,Prince Far I,all got involved in the ONU experiment....ON U pre empted so much of the weirdness present in sounds like Xterminator label,distorted ragga dubs,junglist and drum and bass tunes...
This cd is excellent,but due to its poignant and restrained mood,maybe it isnt the best example, for those uninitiated, into the onu vibe...Its charm for me its its real landscape sparseness,and endless minimalist echo,with lonely keyboard pieces weaving in and out of the mix...a perfect cd for a long journey,or to carry you over into dreams....For pounding heavy onu vibes?Try "Stoned Immaculate",or "Pounding Systems",both by top notch members of JA and UK roots reggae fraternity.Some of the criticism of Adrian Sherwood's work is definitely justified ,but he also definitely deserves a respectable place in the hallowed annals of roots reggae history...He really did create good sounds,as "One way System" proves.Yeah,nice and subtle.
More minimal than most On-U stuff........2000-10-20

A collection of relaxed house music.......2005-05-09
Thankfully, Dubtribe has not let existential doubt get in the way of making good music. "Baggage" is a collection of relaxed house music, paced like a DJ set; each song flows seamlessly into the next, simulating the legendary Dubtribe live experience. Highlights include the bassline-driven "Nothing is Impossible" and the epic "Do It Now," the disco song to end all disco songs.

Sideways Soul: Dub Narcotic Sound System Meets the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in a Dan

Amazon.com
Some of the greatest dub albums are jam sessions. Think of Lee "Scratch" Perry's genius Black Ark recordings in the '70s or Adrian Sherwood's early experiments in noise with On-U Sound. New York City punk-soul outfit Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Dub Narcotic's salaciously deep-voiced producer Calvin Johnson had already recorded together at Johnson's Olympia studios for JSBX's 1998 album, Acme. Around the same time, during a two-day session, the artists laid down the nine tracks that comprise this loose, sprawling, eminently lovable studio album. JSBX was the house band, Johnson the mischievous frontman. So what d'ya get? Plenty of echoed harmonica, deep bass drums, James Brown-style squeals, and lyrics that focus mostly on food and being cool ("Banana Meltdown," "Chicken Legs," "Frosty Junction"). "If you come to my town," Calvin sings on the 10-minute funkafied "Fudgy the Whale," "you've got to know all 16 dances." Damn right! --Everett TrueCustomer Reviews:
No Dub, bub.......2004-02-10
Love Ain't On The Run........2001-02-21
Johnson's vocal style is more out there in fact that it doesn't work but it does, you know in the context of this album he is a good singer his deep voice goes with the vibe. You may remember his collaboration with Beck on One foot in the grave his voice was put to good use as it is on this album where we get a kinda Johnny Cash kinda thing going on in tracks like Love ain't on the run and Fudgy the whale. So all and all this is in my opinion a top album.

Album Description
The Jamaican record label, Kariang, linked up to have their artists collaborate on a different kind of album...one which sends a positive message about unity and culture through lyrics, music and sounds. It touches the very roots of the Caribbean heartbeat. Much of the music is African village drum oriented, and the mix is as hard as any dancehall riddim out there. Producer/DJ, Yossi Fine has toured the world spinning as the Ex-centric Sound System, perfecting the songs and sounds of this recording....these songs are the Afro-Riddims. Produced by Yossi Fine @ King Solomon's Yard & Kariang Studies, Jamaica, WI. Features Anthony B, Brezident Brown plus others.Customer Reviews:

Amazon.com
With Out of Your Mind, Dub Narcotic Sound System join the pantheon of Beck, Money Mark, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion as loopy experimenters in rock, rhythm, and soul. The album, their second full-length outing, has a funky carnival midway of sounds ranging from the lo-fi organ wailings of "Basemess" to the busted-flat-in-Chicago blues of "Papa's Got a Brand New Burnbag." Riff-heavy hits like "Teenage Time Bomb" and "Shock Mount" are dance-floor pleasers, but the LP also has quiet moments, like the moody jazz of "Dub Narcotic's Delight." Dub Narcotic Sound System leader Calvin Johnson takes a radical departure from his groundbreaking indie band Beat Happening to become this generation's James Brown, an idiosyncratic cheerleader for getting loose and going wicked-bad. --Lois MaffeoCustomer Reviews:
