About this product
Hopeton Brown, better known as Scientist, has been a pioneering figure in the world of dub for 40 years. His early love of electronics proved fruitful when (still a teenager) he was hired at King Tubby's studio in Kingston. Brown quickly ascended the ranks and became heir to Tubby's throne, producing imaginative and technically impressive mixes that solidified his forward-looking nickname. Originally released in 1981, In The Kingdom Of Dub remains one of the best early LPs in Scientist's long career. Produced by Roy Cousins at Channel One and featuring Sly and Robbie along with members of The Revolutionaries, The Aggrovators and The Soul Syndicate, the album offers a wide range of arresting rhythms, bold effect drops and exquisitely melodic bass. From '18 Drumalie Avenue Dub' (a reference to King Tubby's address) to 'Burning Sun Dub', Scientist lays down a veritable roadmap of dub - filled with disintegrating echoes of satiny organ and textural guitar - firmly cementing his place as one of the true innovators in Jamaican popular music.

- First vinyl re-issue in 30 years of hard to find 1980's dub classic- Black Uhuru with original singer Michael Rose set to reform and tour again next year. Lloyd James better known as Prince Jammy was born in Jamaica in 1947. He started releasing his own productions in the late debut album in 1977. Black Uhuru and Prince Jammy would go on to dominate Jamaican music into the 1980's. In 1985 he had a huge hit with what is considered the ï-rst digital reggae record Under me sleng teng by Wayne Smith. He continued in the digital vain and is considered the godfather of Jamaican digital dancehall. Black Uhuru started from very humble Jamaican beginnings in the early 1970's but went on to become a massive worldwide Reggae sensation by the mid 1980's. This ambience of Pop Reggae Futurism was to become the cornerstone of their sound and along with Prince Jammy they forged the way for the Digital production sound that would come to dominate the future of Jamaican music.
