Tape-to-tape dubbing - reggae/dub mix
Hoo, Roland just made really lovely looking gear in the 70s. This is my Space Echo, same sort as Lee "Scratch" Perry used to use, and I've been getting all over-excited about how great it sounds, particularly when driven into dubby feedback.
Speaking of dub, here's a mix for your listening delight. "Pick a dub" by Keith Hudson was my first encounter with the spacey sound of dub, through John Peel playing tracks from the early-Nineties re-issue on Blood and Fire. Typically I misheard the laconic Liverpudlian and confused the assistants in Selectadisc (RIP) in Coventry by asking for Keith Hudson's "Pick a dog".
I heard nothing much until Scientist's genius "Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" made up the K-JAH radio station on GTA3, which re-ignited my love for it and I've been trying to pick up bits ever since.
