Subject: Massive Attack v. The Mad Professor
intelligent dub music
i recently picked up the 'no protection' dub remixes of massive attack by
mad professor. after being severely disappointed by MA's latest album, i
was hesitant to pick this up (especially for a steep $19.99999999), but
everyone who knew me said i would like it. thankfully, they were right!
great instrumental mixes with true dub stylee fx in there. there are just
enough obscured vocal samples dripping in and out to give the feel of the
vocalist's throaty voice without the distraction of having to hear the
originals' retarded (IMO) lyrics. yeah, some of the mad professor's tricks
and beats are comfortably familiar, but i still find this remix project
refreshing and well done. if you didn't like MA's latest release, but like
their older dub remix work (like jesus loves you "one on one"), check it
out!
