["Rolling Stone Dub Intro" Number 5 on Mojo Top 10 for July, 2007]
"Could-pass-for-vintage fleet-of-foot dub brain damage, built around the quizzical bass intro from The Temptations' big smash. Well Heavy."

THE SCOTSMAN

Aye, There's The Dub
We step into the world of online dub reggae this week with a brilliant "play or buy" site. For those mystified by this oft-bandied term, "dub" is essentially an instrumental version of a reggae song, stripped down to its rhythm track but with a few sound effects thrown in. It found its apogee during the late 1970s. This website is by Fried Wire, who as far as I can tell is an ex-pat from the Midlands currently living in California, which, of course, makes him perfectly qualified for this genre. But it's still ace and could pass for peak-period dub. THE SCOTSMAN (6-23-07)

Choice Dub Reggae Net Album
This came through as a comment from my site and it’s honestly the best ‘home made’ dub reggae I’ve heard in a long, long time. Thought you might enjoy it too. Sounds like the best of the Butch Cassidy Sound System meets Lee Scratch Perry. MunchBreak.com

Walk In Light (Fear No Darkness) MP3 review
Deep and deadly Digi-Dub, created with the use of some very interesting use of effects. It's really an "audio-painting", as pictures that have to do with the title come up while experiencing this one. DUBROOM.ORG
