Our Take

Dennis Bovell, the Dubmaster himself, graces us with "The Essential Anthology," a collection of his seminal works that are sure to make you groove, sway, and maybe even do a little skank in your living room. From his early days with Matumbi to his collaborations with artists like Linton Kwesi Johnson, Bovell has been instrumental in shaping the sound of British reggae.

This album is a journey through time, with tracks like "Silly Games" and "After Tonight" showcasing Bovell's mastery of dub production. The basslines are deep, the rhythms are infectious, and the overall vibe is so laid-back, you'll feel like you're floating on a cloud made of ganja smoke.

One standout track is "Rowing," a funky tune that will have you bouncing around your room like a lovestruck teenager. Bovell's signature sound is present throughout the album, with his knack for blending reggae, dub, and funk seamlessly.

"The Essential Anthology" is a must-have for any fan of reggae music, as it encapsulates the essence of Bovell's contributions to the genre. So grab a spliff, get comfortable, and let Dennis Bovell take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust us, you won't regret it.
