stewblack Posted Thursday at 16:55 Share Posted Thursday at 16:55 Learning songs for upcoming rehearsals and this is on the list. I know all the others but hadn't heard this before. Unashamedly derivative of Robert Nesta, but a nice tune nonetheless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good points. I want to go and listen to do much music I’m unaware existed, and will be doing so. The less good? Anyone who at the same time (mid to late 70s) loved reggae, who also - being a longhair - had to endure the ever present threat of walking around a corner guitar in hand to be confronted by a bunch of skinheads (I took several beatings, one quite serious), and who struggled at the time and ever since to understand the fact that the very same skinheads also loved this same music, will find several sections of this book both enlightening and - in terms of the actions of some music business people at the time in essentially hiding the ethnicity of the performers to increase sales and build a white market for reggae - disappointing in equal measure. Certainly, and whilst recognising it was far from reggae, how I view the Two-Tone artists/label/era have shifted hugely. I think I’m going to give it some thought and start a separate thread 🤔 But back to the glorious music which is what this thread is about. Gonna listen to some of this tonight 👍 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael2003x Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I am really into heavy 80's dub like Scientist . The basslines are simple but crushing, fun to play and very voodooey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently im getting into electro dub and steppas too. the production value of some of the modern electro dub is phenominal with a sub engaged. the clarity and purity of the sub bass is incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a great song, I’m old enough to remember buying that album Uprising when it came out in 1980, and I’ve still got it, Real Situation is another good one to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
