Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub - Zion Train

Advantages: Some good dance tracks across genres
Disadvantages: Not as good as some of their other compilations

...preferred the beat behind it to the vocals (as opposed to the reverse on Rock Tha House) although the chorus was catchier. Falling Star by Starchaser featuring Steve Edwards had a reggae beat, I quite liked it, but am still waiting for the outstanding track of the disc….Erick Morillo, Harry Romero & Jose Nunez featuring Jessica Eve's track Dancin' was not what I was looking for, nor was DJ Flex's Amazin'.

One Drop East is Salmonella Dub's second major album released in New Zealand in 2004. This albums shows that the bands dub music has matured since their first album Killervision was released in 1999, which was released to critical acclaim. Tracks such as 'Nu Steppa', 'Pure', 'Simmer Down', 'Octopus' and 'Bubble' have made me forget the world and go into my own world. If you like dub music and want to chill out buy it.
