Heavyweight Dub Champion
Scientist was only 20 years old when, working with fellow producer "Junjo" Lawes, came up with this stunner, a sinuous groove party with cartoonlike special effects (a lots of bongs and boings like pans hitting one another, blips and squeals that sound like a Pac-Man game).
Artist: Scientist
Genre: Dub
Label: Dub Mirumir
Release date:
All the "song" titles are references to boxing (a motif that Scientist was obviously mining for all it was worth), and all are great individual bits of dub sound that cohere into a meaningful whole. As it says on the LP jacket: "This ya a youthful sound fe come mash ydown."
