Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown

I just got this recently and have only listened to it a couple times, but as I drove to coach some hoops games in the middle of our latest snow flurry I became terribly anxious for my Hawaii trip next month and thought that this would do the trick for now. This albums is a collaboration between Augustus Pablo and King Tubby. King Tubby is a supposed godfather of dub music and for those of you (like me) who don't really know what that is let's consult wikipedia:

Dub is a form of music which evolved out of reggae in the 1960s. The dub sound consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass frequencies or 'riddim', adding extensive echo and reverb effects, and dubbing occasional snippets of lyrics from the original version.

It is widely accepted that Jamaican musicians Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock, and Lee "Scratch" Perry pioneered the style in the 1960s and early 1970s. Ruddock and Perry each called upon the mixing desk as an instrument, with the deejay or "selector" playing the role of the artist or performer. These early 'dub' examples can be looked upon as the prelude to many dance and pop music genres.

Today, the word 'dub' is used widely to describe the re-formatting of music of various genres into typically instrumental, rhythm-centric adaptations.

All that being said, here ya go:
