Dub Recommendations May 2015

Review: This album showcases the series of heavily reggae-orientated tunes that was created throughout the past three years - starting with the landmark 'King In My Empire' with Cornel Campbell - which so far has only been available on 10" vinyl format. After the previous Burial Mix album Showcase (BMD-1, released 1998), exclusively with vocals by Paul St. Hilaire, the present release features eight tunes, voiced in Berlin, New York and Jamaica by seven artists, some of them living legends; Cornel Campbell, Paul St. Hilaire, Shalom, The Chosen Brothers, Love Joy, Jennifer Lara and Jah Batta. Released simultaneously, The Versions (BMD-3) contains the corresponding instrumental versions backed with dubs that integrate minimal structures with Rhythm & Sound's breathtaking atmospheric density. An essential twin-release.
