Named after the 1977 Burning Spear album of the same name Dry & Heavy
is the said project of drummer Shigemoto Nanao (aka Dry) and bassist
Takeshi Akimoto (aka Heavy) who also record as Audio Active for On-U
Sound. To date Dry & Heavy
have released three albums: 'One Punch' and 'Full Contact' contain
original new-school dub-reggae tracks whereas 'Dry & Heavy Meet King
Jammy In the Jaws of the Tiger' is a remix album where King Tubby
cohort Prince Jammy (now known as King Jammy) remixed tracks from Dry
And Heavy's first two albums (One Punch + Full Contact) creating a
solid retro root-dub album. Here are the Dry & Heavy releases that i
do know about...
I've read that Dry & Heavy have done remixes for Asian Dub
Foundation, The Skatalites, and Arrested Development but i've not
actually seen or heard the remixes themselves. Looking forward to
hearing the 2LT remix!
Releases:
. Dry & Heavy Meets King Jammy: in the jaws of the tiger cd (BSI Records)
. Dry & Heavy: one punch cd (Green Tea)
. Dry & Heavy: full contact cd (BSI Records)
. Dry & Heavy: radical star 12" (Green Tea)
. Dry & Heavy: dawn is breaking 12" (Green Tea)

btw: does anybody have any opinions on any of the other releases on
BSI Records? BSI is supposedly the Japanese equivalent to Blood &
Fire or Pressure Sounds but i'm not familiar with most of their
roster. are any of the artists or releases aside from Dry & Heavy any
good?
