Search - Mad Professor :: Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae

Even better than the Perry original?

"It's a close call. I first purchased the original Perry release "Who put the voodoo..." when it was first released about 7 years ago. I liked it straightaway although it took some time to fully appreciate all it had to offer. Now that I have finally purchased this companion c.d. I have even more reason to like and appreciate this material. This is excactly the type of material the Mad Professor is best at toying with. Perry's originals are some of his best work in years; rootsy, ranting, varied in style, and dub-heavy even on it's own. Mad Professor is also at the top of his game using typical "Mad" electronic manipulations that pull the funkiest elements from the tunes while not overdoing it (as he is often want to do).Four stars instead of five only because Perry has his "Secret Laboratory" to be compared to and Mad Professor has "No Protection." Both solid five star outputs."

EXCELLENT--ESP "DUB CONNECTION"

"The electronic makes the lower end sound so magical. Mad Professor has done masses of albums now and you hear electronic reggae in all ecclectic party mixes. My favorite on this CD is "dub connection""
