The Foundation Of This Dub Album Was Created By Some Of The Finest Sessions Musicians Ever To Grace The Studios Of 1960s & 70s Jamaica. Their Instruments Were The Cornerstone To Countless Dub Lps That Began To Surface In The Early 70s And Continued On Into The 80s Creating A Whole New Genre Of Music. As They Did Back In The Early Days Of Dub, The Kingston All Stars Gathered Together In Kingston, Jamaica At Mixing Lab Studios And Laid Down A Series Of Riddims That Would Lay The Groundwork For What Comes Next: The Singers. Both Greenwich Farm Rasta, Prince Alla, And Falsetto, Cedric Myton Of The The Congos, Contribute Vocals To The Album But Half Of The Riddims On This Lp Are, To Date, Unreleased, And Have Yet To Be Voiced. In Essence, This Album Is A Sneak Peak Into Upcoming Releases. The Style Of Riddims That Were Created During These Sessions Range From The Cumbia Influenced Reyes Dub To The Ethiopian Jazz Flavored Kebra Dub That Pays Tribute To The African Sound System, Kebra Ethiopia Sound And Shows The Wide Variety Of Influences That Fuel These Musicians. Tracks Like Dub Ova Combine Ansel Collins Keyboard Work With Hux Browns Infectious Grooves To Create A Funky Rhythm That You Have Not Heard The Last Of.
