Our Take

From the depths of the dub universe comes a meeting of epic proportions, as the legendary Augustus Pablo crosses paths with the revolutionary King Tubby on "The Messenger." This album is a sonic journey through the streets of Kingston, with each track pulsating with the unmistakable energy of two giants of the reggae world.

Pablo's signature melodica takes center stage, weaving its way through Tubby's masterful production like a musical tapestry. The blending of Pablo's melodic sensibilities with Tubby's otherworldly dub techniques creates a sound that is both timeless and utterly unique.

Tracks like "East of the River Nile" and "Each One Dub" showcase the seamless symbiosis between Pablo's ethereal melodies and Tubby's dub wizardry. The pulsating rhythms and swirling echoes transport the listener to a place where time has no meaning, and the only thing that matters is the music.

"The Messenger" is a testament to the enduring power of collaboration in music. Augustus Pablo and King Tubby's meeting on this album is nothing short of magical, a meeting of minds that produces a sound that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. So sit back, spark up a spliff, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't regret it.
