Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	JR 029CD

"Scientist's name will be found on many dub releases in people's record collections. His connection to King Tubby is inseparable and many would say that when dub had fallen on quieter times, it was Scientist who breathed new life into it. His paired down mixing style suited the new dancehall reggae sound that came as the '70s rolled into the '80s. Such was his stature that albums were now sold with his name on their jacket, Scientist vs. Prince Jammy and Scientist Meets The Space Invaders to name but two. Here Jamaican Recordings have compiled some tuff tracks from that same period, before everything went digital. Hope you enjoy the set."

Title:	Dub 911
Label:	NATURE SOUNDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	NSD 122CD

"Scientist burst onto the reggae scene in the early 70's with a reckless mixing style that seemed to outdo even dub legend King Tubby's wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at King Tubby's studio in 1978. Shortly afterwards he became a protege of King Tubby, and swiftly gained a reputation with his unique mixing style. The Scientist soon became Jamaica's top recording engineer and worked with everyone imaginable including Dennis Brown, Barrington Levy, Freddie McGregor, Dean Frasier, Linval Thompson, Augustus Pablo, The Heptones and many more. This led to a surge of albums mixed by The Scientist from various sources throughout the 1980s. Dub 911 is the first studio album of all new material from the dub icon in 3 years and he sounds as fresh as ever."
