[pasqualinoooooo]

whoaa finalit y have find this song yheAAAaAaAaAa fantastic

[amkohli]

SUPERRRRR. In what sub-genre of Reggae does this fit in? DUB Reggae? Any suggestions on more artists producing this kind? Or other tunes and albums of same kind?

[Heratik08]

Eek-a-mouse

Scientist

Lee 'Scratch' Perry

U-Roy

There is a CD collection called 'Trojan Records - Dub Set' which has a good wide selection of this style of reggae. Or just Google "dub reggae" and you should get some good info

[amkohli]

Thanks Heratik, doing some research on that now.

[jellyfishinthebath]

This isn't dub reggae! Dub reggae is - generally speaking - the musical version of the title track ie with the vocals mostly taken out and the backing track usually messed around with. However, this IS a fantastic song and off one of the best reggae albums ever... :)

[badboybaldy1]

@jellyfishinthebath wonderful sound sittin here played this 10 times kids say pls dad hahaha ..beautiful ....you are right what you say about the dub bless

[JudyBM]

Also try to look around 'Rockers' genre...

[whitedwarf13]

This is DJ reggae. DJ reggae involves DJs (lor toasters) singing over existing reggae tunes. The vocal style used in DJ is similar to rapping.

good Djs and their best albums:

U-Roy (Dread ina Babylon)

I-Roy (Don't check me with no lightweight stuff)

U Brown (Train to Zion)

Prince Jazzbo (Mr Funny)

[libra61060]

The origanal verson.

at last !

[dafyddh]

Excellent

[condor109]

This is properly one of the best songs I've heard in a while it's such a relaxing tune to listen to.

[princeblackie]

Brain Smashing!

[Weirdokat99]

What do they start saying at 0:21??!!

[sunofman17]

... "rengey, scengey, unh jah jah unh jah jah" - it's doesn't mean anything in particular, basically just scatting.

[Islwynpaul]

Jah is God.

[proofreadDread]

ohhhhh shit

[jungleg]

ICarbajal thats funny..i just sight that movie and sound it in there

[WestLondonDroog]

Haven't heard this in decades. Still sounding ire!

[Tampinu]

Dr Alimanta.........do!!!!!

[funkyfunker]

cheers Dr Alimantado is awesome... i lived in scotland grew uo 79,s this was cool then.. i have progressed to hard house... have fun

[over129]

Also der Anfang ist geil aber danach nervt es irgendwie :-D

[rastapontop]

dreh den bass voll auf (vorausgesetzt du hast die cd), konzentrier dich neben dem bass auf die wunderschöne orgel (da sind viele feinheiten versteckt) und lass dich von seiner psychedelischen stimme entführen! das kann unmöglich nerven! Im Reggae is es allgemein so, dass sehr viele Feinheiten beim ersten Reinhören gar nicht rüberkommen und es viele Leute deswegen als langweilig, nervig, immerzu das gleiche, empfinden

[Thesidsnake]

I've got this on 7 inch vinyl from the seventies, it's brilliant! second only to Steel Pulse

[Juanitaj6]

where u get the 7"?? :)

[Thesidsnake]

Sorry, my mistake. It was on 12 ".

[Juanitaj6]

cool, it doesn't matter as long as it's vinyl :D where did u get it online?

because i've looked for it on many

record stores and no luck

[Thesidsnake]

I think it was bought in the 70's from either a small record shop (no longer there) on Cross St, Manchester or second hand record shop in the Corn Exchange, Manchester before it was later damaged by the IRA bombing. If you want a copy I think your best chance is the reggae record fairs, check Google for a list.

[RageBeater]

don't fly. don't fly.

[goodbarley]

very nice!

[libra61060]

What!!!

[Islwynpaul]

First heard this way back and it was played at a Catholic church youth club dance in Cardiff. Big Youth, U Roy, Lee Perry, Studio 1 tracks were all played, fantastic memories of a time before punk even. Big up to the Splott massive. U knows.

[teamkilloor]

[teamkilloor]

amazing! and only 1 times this song in youtube^^

[BadPsyTron]

The bass on the original vinyl is so low that you have to cut it down. Unless you want some angry neighbors.

[BadPsyTron]

Thanks for sharing this classic Alimantado track Eclectic :) 5 stars and added to faves

[ApacolypseNow]

I'm so baked right now, ridiculous Chronic be smoked.

[proofreadDread]

wwo this is hard

[jazzbojudas]

Wicked n' wild

[pollcat59]

pure pleasant,

[roybaser]

Proper smoking music :-)

[Bopeliano]

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!

I listen to Dr Alimantado almost ... 25 years ago, when I was in high school ...

Thank you so much for the document, EclecticWarrior ; ) ; ) ; )

[meaty123]

got given a recorded tape of this about 15 years ago when i was a lad , loved reggae/dub ever since

the Doc rules

[GreaserDub]

What does strictly rockers mean ?

[Deadfreeeak]

a genre of reggae music .

[boyojack7898]

long live the doc...

[corp1c1mandem]

man it's been a looong time since i last got high..

[robinp1987]

JAH WORKS

[4712POMMES]

Dr Alimantado, quite intriguing, like a mixture of Hendrix, Marley and our stuff:-)

Exaggerated, we produced some long-winded music with organ, synthesizer, vocoder, alienated noises, a tape recorder with much echo and reverbation.

All material is gone, no chance to become famous:-)

The video is "extremely suitable"!

As well as the sounds wanna become disorganized, the images wanna join.

A pleasure as a synthesis of arts!

[imamamba]

Cool...You do good video o_0...great song ...Roaaaarrr!!

[vickuniaa18]

high

[zelatrixiana]

this is it...Dr. AlimentaDo a true master of ethics and a true Rastaman!

a brillaint true dub creator and inspiration of so much, whom has never been credited for, I suspect.

His music , echos divine spirit.

[vinuz]

I love this song and the video is amazing ! Good job !!!

[lucidlupin]

Brilliantissimo! ;)

[choffys]

Que buen tema!! :)te hace volar!! viva el dub!!! te traslada este tema TEMAZOOO
