The release was both musically interesting and thematically brilliant, combining two musical bastions of marijuana-smokers (reggae and Dark Side of the Moon) in one succinct release. A dub rendering of Radiohead's OK Computer followed in 2006; it cracked Billboard charts and remained there for some time. The group continues to alternately release original material and covers. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4165&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Roots Reggae Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:53 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4165 art.4165 Black Uhuru art.4165 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4165&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4165&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3677&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Roots Reggae Wed, 9 Dec 2009 10:53:42 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3677 art.3677 Burning Spear art.3677 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3677&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3677&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12475&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Trip-Hop Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:54 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.12475 art.12475 Tosca art.12475 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12475&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12475&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38053&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dub Wed, 2 Dec 2009 11:07:37 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38053 art.38053 King Tubby art.38053 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38053&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38053&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Blackboard Jungle Dub with Lee Perry and the sublime King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown with Augustus Pablo. A gifted electrical engineer, he went on to develop such techniques as splitting a record's frequencies between amplifiers (enabling him to alter instrument levels in the mix at will) and using echo and reverb effects. Producers to have schooled at King Tubby's side include King Jammy, Scientist and Prince Phillip Smart -- he also designed the circuitry at Lee Perry's notorious Black Ark studio. Sadly, King Tubby's career of innovation was violently ended when he was shot dead outside his home in a suspected robbery on February 6, 1989. - Jamie Dolling]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44080&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dub Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:40:18 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44080 art.44080 Augustus Pablo art.44080 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44080&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44080&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Raggamuffin Year and Hugh Mundell's Africa Must be Free By 1983 to Jacob Miller's crucial Who Say Jah No Dread.

A large portion of Lee Perry's success is due to the extremely insistent, rhythmically tight dread rhythms of his studio band, the Upsetters. Named after Perry himself -- the original "Upsetter" - the band was composed of a core group of musicians. Brothers Carlton and Aston "Family Man" Barrett held down the bottom on drums and bass respectively, while organists Winston Wright and Glen Adams provided the vintage swirls and upbeat overlays. Perry pulled the faders in and out, and laid his primitively perfect effects, bouncing percussion, vocals and other instruments on their rock-solid foundation. His vocals, production and songwriting are thick with mystique and influence, while his music aurally describes nature, food, sex, ganja and the occult. Make sure not to smoke too much -- this music is sure to bug you out. - Jessy Terry]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3005&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Roots Reggae Wed, 1 Apr 2009 22:17:13 -0700 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3005 art.3005 Israel Vibration art.3005 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3005&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3005&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56580&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dancehall Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:40:54 -0800 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.56580 art.56580 Mykal Rose art.56580 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56580&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56580&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2129&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dub Wed, 2 Sep 2009 12:06:34 -0700 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2129 art.2129 Scientist art.2129 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2129&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2129&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2392&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dub Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:13:33 -0700 Top Dub Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2392 art.2392 Mad Professor art.2392 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2392&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2392&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Freggae%2Fdub%2Fartist-chart.rss Dub Me Crazy albums are modern masterstrokes, and his work with artists like U-Roy seem like a return to the golden days of Dub.

Bootlegged in the U.K. to great acclaim, they were snapped up by Virgin, but tensions grew in the band during the recording of the ultimately disappointing Arise (1978) and Linford Manning left the band in 1980. Having toured competing iterations of the group for several years, Collins and Bernard Manning attempted a reconciliation, releasing Reunion in the latter half of the 1990s.

Calming harmonies from a crowd of accomplished backing singers and a percussively dense bed of fluctuating roots rhythms are nearly enough on their own, before the slow, heart wrenching vocals of Myton and Johnson hypnotize with biblical tales and Rastafarian chants. Support by greats Sly Dunbar, Ernest Ranglin and Gregory Isaacs never hurts, especially when twisted in an erratic, Perry-produced session.

"Power Animals," on 2000's Come on Everybody Let's Rock, was about a deadlocked presidential election -- not Bush and Gore, but Tilden and Hayes in 1876. On 2002's double disc, Each One Teach One, they carried water-torture minimalism to its breaking point, and since then -- averaging more or less an album a year -- they've gotten both daintier and dronier, picking up indie fans much younger than themselves, then regularly finding ways to dumbfound them. -

His sound is generally crisp and polished, with excellent musicians creating tight rhythms often featuring a smattering of percussion and the smoky organ playing of Winston Wright.

Much of his success has come vicariously through the imprint he's left on the work of other artists.
