Dub-O-Tron 3000: Vintage Reggae Sounds For A New Generation
The new Dub-O-Tron 3000 EP, by Reggae and Dub producer Jim the Boss,
takes you on a ride through space, time and your own sub-conscience
mind. Written and recorded in only 45 hours. But don't let the short
time fool you, this EP has a lot of depth and imagination. The tones and
sounds on this record has every element of the classic dub albums of
the 1970s. "Lub-a-Dub" is reminiscent of early dancehall. Catchy yet
simple riddem with a drum sound we all have grown familiar with. Next up
is "Dub So Nice" and nice it is. This track is hypnotic and the use of
effects make it almost haunting. The delay work sets the tone for
impending doom. The Hammond Organ tone is something from a horror movie.
But don't get too drawn in, it's time to get back up and dance with the
title track "Dub-O-Tron 3000." Our robot's theme song. Elements of the
electronic era of reggae, this upbeat number is simple yet laden with
massive amounts of reverb and delay.
