Title Note

Personnel includes: Sly Dunbar (drums); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Dean Fraser (saxophone); Sky Juice (percussion).

If any players could take credit for the paring-down of reggae that resulted in dub, it would be the erstwhile Peter Tosh rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. Dunbar, especially, is a drumming karateka--lean, muscular, ultimately flexible, highly technical, restrained and powerful. In the studio, Sly meets his creative and technical match on DUB REVOLUTIONARIES in the dub of Neil "The Mad Professor" Fraser, who couples a genius for electronics with an innate sense of rhythm and dub. Adding Jamaican sax legend Dean Fraser (presumably no relation), the Kenny G of Jamaica, and you have the makings of one of the most unique almost-smooth jazz records out there. The tracks are so inspiring, they may represent Dean's most creative blowing, as on "Freedom Illusion," which might be the most powerful thing ever to come out of his usually sedate horn. DUB REVOLUTIONARIES refines the kind of rocksteady dub that has fallen out of favor with the dancehall crowd, but unlike so much modern dub, this is foreground music, hypnotic and aggressive as only the riddim section of Sly and Robbie could make it.
