Ras Michael has resurrected the chants and burra drumming of his ancestors and brought them to a modern world. A renowned drummer, Ras Michael recorded with various artists throughout the sixties and seventies. He managed to release several of his own works in the meantime which were mainly long, extended tracks. Rastafari Dub is one of these works.

Hailed as a landmark for dub, the product was a fusion of drums and chants from the hills and the electronics of the studio. The top artists in reggae also joined in to complete the “celebration”. Peter Tosh is featured on both guitar and clavinet, Earl “Chinna” Smith assists on guitar, both producing chunky licks with funky wah-wah undertones. The master, Robbie Shakespeare, lays down his signature bass lines while the funde piano, flute and synthesizer weave around the beat. There are eight songs featured which average about five minutes per song, relatively short by Ras Michael standards.

Each is a masterpiece, crafted with a personal immersion that sets it apart from nearly anything I’ve ever heard. This is from the corethis is a spiritual emanationthis is dub without the techno bullshit THIS IS ROOTS. This is a rare opportunity to experience Ras Michael.

Review by Daniel Mitchell.

Leroy Mattis’ first drum was a plastic butter container. ‘My mother wouldn’t buy me a drum because back then the situation in Jamaica was very tense In 1960 Jamaica was still an English colony, and the drum is a roots instrument.’ Tommy McCook was living two doors down; during the first years of The Skatalites, Mattis would practise there. In 1970 he was National Junior Drumming Champion, with Count Ossie winning overall; four years later his ensemble battled in the Senior finals with the drummers of the Light Of Saba. ‘Our group was initially called Genesis, it was a 7-piece drum group, but I changed the name to Mabrak, which means Thunder in Amharic. We knew that we were coming with a heavy sound.’ Experiments in percussion, in the middle of the night at Harry J’s. Funky versions of rhythms like Curly Locks and Too Late To Turn Back Now, led by talking drums. Blaxploitation is in the air the Staples even a blast of Barry White.

Beautifully mixed by King Tubby, who couldn’t believe his ears. Originally released in 1976, in paper inners only. Smartly sleeved in quintessential Dug Out style this time around — with an insert, including a recent interview with Mabrak. Magnificent nyabinghi roots warning. The one-and-only Eric Frater is drafted in from Studio One, playing killer rhythm guitar (with Chinna on lead); and likewise Dennis Ferron — Jah D — who leads the way with his spiritualized keyboard-work, keening between jazz and soul.

Business Driven Technology 5th Edition Baltzan. You can hear Puma from Black Uhuru, singing with the Sons. Geoffrey Chung at Dynamic expertly pulls in the bass drum and doubled-up fundas and repetas, keeping the mix raw and alive. The dub in particular is stunning — thumping, trenchant and brooding, so steeply dread and haunted it almost trips over its sense of yawning silence and doom. ‘Rockin live ruff and tuff’, this is the untrammelled counterpart to Dadawah, six years later in 1980, fresh from the Upsetter: free, rawly spiritual trance-music; a full-force nyabinghi freak-out.

The drummers are headlong and rollicking, thunderous and explosive. Even more so than Dadawah, the mix is ecstatically echoey; giddily dubwise without let-up. Ras Michael himself sings from the mountain-top, like he just don’t care — at the top of his lungs, in voices, screeching like a bird — with the delirious abandonment otherwise owned in reggae by Lee Perry. Amongst the uncredited performances swirled into proceedings, there are squiggles of flute straight from the Upsetters song-book, the minor-key organ stabs and abstraction of electric space-jazz, and sax-playing more attuned to the Headhunters than the Blazing Horns.

(I Ya I in particular is a stunning fifteen minutes.) This is the real thing, music without affectation. Sun Ra fans should love it; anyone with ears to hear. Prepared and manufactured at Abbey Road, D&M and Pallas; beautifully presented in rigid, old-school, tip-on sleeves, with matt-coated fronts and untreated-paper backs; 180g vinyl. ‘These sounds are sounds of inspiration and love and culture to the universal benefit of mankind So therefore meditate and stop hate.’ Very hotly recommended. First time out for this wildly raw dubplate, sister-recording to the Pablo master-rhythm, shot through with other-worldly, illusively allusive incantation. Surely that’s Family Man stalking a sunken cavern, and his bro battering all seven shades out of his drum-kit, like Meters on fire; and Chinna on guitar, glazed and violent. The mixing rears up right in your face.

Producer Gussie Clarke says Theophilus ‘Easy Snappin’ Beckford is playing piano, with the front removed so he can strum the strings (like he finally snapped) — but he credits the work overall to Augustus Pablo. Transferred from acetate — fuss-pots don’t grumble, just be humble — though the flip brings a clutch of criss, unmissable alternates, direct from Gussie’s tape-room (where the files are entitled ‘Classical Illusion / The Sun’). Heavy, heavy funk.
