Search - Scientist :: Portraits: Scientist

Bad music, excellent interview

"Even with a master like Scientist, a dub album is only as good as the backing band. Scientist does what he can here, but unfortunately the music is nowhere near the level of his Greensleeves material.



On the plus side, the CD insert features a great exhaustive interview with Scientist. He dispells some rumors (like the supposed marijuana ban in Tubby's studio), and tells an interesting story of when a young King Tubby jammed the frequency of a Kingston radio station for six hours to broadcast his new style of music called dub."

Not good- try other scientist albums first.

"Scientist is the man but this album is total cheeseball- try older scientist albums instead."
