Dub Music

@Eightball that LP is really really special... my tripping memories are strong with that one!
@ Pastry lover HGlad you loved that, its so... simple.. and deep. Well I always found AHC had something that separated them from the RnB 'hegemony' that a lot of 'reggae' and 'dub' are really part of. Their chord structures and sometimes hard to follow phrasing just meant that it's not really dub, to me. Maybe you're right and I'm missing something essential that joins them, but to me dub is a reworking of a already-known song riddim, without the song, sometimes with new vocals, and usually effects-heavy mixing. Whereas AHC rhythms were never reworked on any other OnU releases, unlike all the other connected bands and artists (Dub Syndicate/Singers & PLayers, Bim Sherman, Creation Rebel, New Age Steppers etc etc). Their rhythms were somehow seperate and never ever remixed or reworked. Thankfully!

apparently that was M.A favourite ever remix, at Meltdown last year they were playing it non-stop. The Daddy G 'dj kicks' has it on, top, top album.

Hah I never heard this but then I never went to any of the DJ stuff. Which gigs did you go to? I, naturally, went to see Mark Stewart and The Maffia with Sherwood at the controls one night (with Wig), and Grace the next. Tell me you were at Grace too! It was MENTAL.
