Beware Dub - Yabby You

Advantages: Fantastic bassline. Original sounds. Good chioce of tracks.
Disadvantages: It's music designed for sound systems. Sound quality suffers.

...of the song and before long you yourself will be skanking easy. ‘Black Gunn’ is a dark, shady version of the Let’s Get Together riddim and the xylophone is probably the stand-out sound. The tune was another one used by Jacob Miller and is the first track on his ‘Who Say Jah No Dread’ album.

...Absolute Classic. the dub connection from dc by earl morgan some new techinques used here, diverse production skills and crazy off beat effects bring the true elements of dub out of the woodworks!
