@islandgirllove2fete I hear you on that. I personally hate the stereotype that just because I listen to reggae/dub all the time that makes me a stoner, even though I do burn sometimes. Haha. I'll love this music forever.
UK dub like this is definitely the dub in dubstep. ASWAD, Jah Shaka etc... it's like space dub. Almost as different to roots dub as roots reggae is to dancehall IHMO. Case mon, Garvey a tug
i swear i've heard that trumpet riff somewhere. like in 0:16 , aaaahhhh, i'm trying to figure out where i've heard that!! if anyone knows please comment. i dunno if it was in a 311 song, or rebelution(probably not rebelution) or sublime.. hmm.
@SkankinDevil89 You heard it first here kid..unless Aswad borrowed from one of the jazz greats. Many a modern producer have made shoddy rips of this horn riff.
@HaagseRaja denis browns promised land came out in 1979 aswad sampled it for this track in 1982. so it was denis brow who had it first. but who cares it just awsome anyway.
Hi everyone out there dub wise presure on this track,awsome music from way back when, from those era,this is not a sucker side show come 2 u with the hard hits, also licks, make it dub wise from ram jam Evertondarkchid bless 2 u yawl out there,on your ends greatings inna da hours. :) lol my main man.
@akintosh555 One of the great dub tracks - never gets boring. FYI the horns aren't samples but played live in the studio by the incomparable Aswad horn section back in those days: Michael 'Bammie' Rose, Eddie 'Tan Tan' Thornton, Vin Gordon. Simply superb!
@akintosh555 what makes you think the horns are samples? they are blatantly real and being played by human beings. great tune though. i love the vocal version aswell :)
Damian Marley and Nas sampled this beat for their song called "Land of Promise" on thier new album that just came out called "Distant Relatives". By the way this Album is on behalf of Africa. Yall gotta buy that album, dont download it for free.
Fucking love Aswad, and the piano sound they got for this track is probly the nicest sounding piano i've ever heard. Imagine who amazing it would be to see them, the origonal line up. Saw drummy chillin at carnival 08 with eyes like stop lights.
Don't turn around was poppy pish. This is hard, hard, hard. Bassline makes you so you can't keep your shoulders or your feet still. Best English reggae band by a mile. One love.
how in god's green earth can you even make that statement???
the horns are fucking sick on this cut! in fact, there isnt a single thing i would change on this. from the bass, drums, or horns. even the keys sound tuff!
YOU TRIPPIN!!! This mug is a CLASSIC from my hood!!...We used to kick asses and take trophys at Karate Tournaments listening to this song!!! DUB FIRE!!! A RALLY CRY for all the DREADS anyway!!! HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!!!
I first heard this being played in my barracks in 1989 as I was about to pass out in a drunken stupor on the common area couch and never knew what group this was. It was by complete accident that I stumbled upon this track here on Youtube. Thank you for posting this song. I now know who it is and can therefore procede to purchase their CD. Gotta love the mathematics of random chance. ~ Jay M.
