I picked up a really great album today, "360 Degrees" by Dread Zone. A wonderful mix of dub/reggae and trance. I love it. Has anyone heard the Original Rockers album, "Rockers To Rockers"? It should be out by now. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se

yeah. i didn't like it all that much. too much housey stuff, not enough tripped out dub stuff. best tracks are "sexy selector" (from ambient dub 1) and the two versions of "Rocker to Rockers" (available on 12"). i was disappointed. nothing as good as their track on ambient dub 3, "mecca of space."

I saw them live at the filming for The Beat (British Indie music TV programme) and wasn't that impressed. The couple of tracks off it that I've heard on the radio were better though and definitely an improvement on the later Big Audio Dynamite material.

I heard but didn't buy. It just doesn't cut it beside 'real' dub and it doesn't bring in enough outside elements to make it otherwise interesting. -- Stephen Hebditch TQM Communications steveh@orbital.demon.co.uk
