2007 release. "The second volume in this vintage four-disc series of instrumental dub from Joe Gibbs' studio finds him still working with members of the Soul Syndicate and We the People bands, and utilizing the formidable mixing talents of Errol Thompson. What sets this volume somewhat apart from the other three is the number of rhythms it carries over from the rocksteady era: 'Chapter Two' is a remix of the Techniques' late-'60s classic 'Queen Majesty'; 'Peeping Tom' reworks the Melodians' 'You Have Caught Me'; and 'My Best Dub' is an instrumental and nicely dubbed-up recut of the early Wailers track 'Hypocrites.' But it also includes some heavyweight rockers and one-drop material, including 'Angola Crisis' (based on a familiar rhythm later used for such roots reggae hits as 'Uptown Top Ranking' and 'Three Piece Suit') and an absolutely brilliant dub mix of Bob Andy's 'Chained,' here rendered in dark, minimalist tones with drastic dubwise effects and retitled 'Third World.' Along with the third volume, this is one of the most impressive of the four discs in the African Dub series." --AllMusic
