Best of Deep Root Reviewed by Sadie O., 8/20/10 Roots Rock Reggae and dub from the UK – a best of comp of previously vinyl releases from the late 90’s. All tracks either awesome or KILLER. DUBWISE! 1. 4:18 ***echo-laden spoken intro, then mid-tempo dubby stepping razor skank with horn section, reverby male vocals. 2. 3:58 ****the dub – even dubbier, thick and gooey. 3. 4:01 ****pretty female singing intro, then slow, blatty skank with melodica. 4. 4:02 ***the dub. Gets gooeyer as it goes. 5. 3:30 ***pretty uptempo bubble with syndrum, female harmonies. 6. 3:26 ****ferocious dub. The syndrum turned dangerous on us. 7. 3:40 ****big sound, swingy stepping razor skank with big horn section. Pretty male vocals. 8. 4:46 *****just the big horn section for the intro (nice!), then killer dub. Whooo! 9. 3:48 ****huge horns intro, big drums, and Luciano’s vocals. Damn! What more do you want? 10. 5:12 ****we want the dub! Yay! 11. 6:40 ***swingy syncopation, rather light and soulful vocals, but with some quirky stylings. 12. 4:23 ****very, very dubby, quirky. Gets the great syncopation after 30 seconds. 13. 4:00 *****goofy keyboard intro, rather uptempo dancehall skank, Michael Rose in full effect. Some very skewed instrumental stuff going on. 14. 4:02 ****bit of BBC news broadcast, then the dub. 15. 3:11 *****4/4 skank with keyboards, fine female harmonies. Quite dubby, and this isn’t even the dub… 16. 3:02 *****SOOOOO dubby… I’m getting a contact high… | ||
