Hi All, I'm trying to build a, err.. slightly less than legal collection of reggae and dub mp3's. So far I've got some King Tubby, Scientist, LKJ, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Mad Professor, Lee Scratch Perry and Gregory Isaacs (got Bob Marley on vinyl anyway). Any more suggestions? cheers, razy
sounds really great. (i don't know if these are really in that above style as such but..) there are some fantastic dub/reggae bands in new zealand at the moment - The Black Seeds being the best. (there are some links to songs on here http://www.theblackseeds.com) Trintity Roots, Fat Freddy's Drop, Salmonella Dub, Zuvaya(sp?), the WBC and Katchafire are a few other great ones. If you can't find them on an MP3 search (and you can bothered ) they might have some free downloads on http://www.nzmusic.com/ anyway, sounds like an awesome CD, have fun
Max Romeo OPen up The Iron Gate is Necassary for any reggae collection. It has both roots and Dub. Culture and I-vibe both have some good Dub.
ahh man u gotta check zion train, u wont be dissapointed. if ya get bit comet you can download 9 albums from supernova, hows brighton mate??? me and matey are supposed to be moving there early next yr sometime, aint sure if we can afford it though. u know any veggies with a house down there that wanna rent out 2 rooms??? is there many jobs there? take it easy
cheers for the recc. a house share is probably 60-70+ quid/week. you could try www.friday-ad.co.uk for accomodation, sorry don't know anyone looking for tenants at the moment. if you're in town, try the message board in the health food shop Infiinity Foods in the North Laines, has lots of ads for veggies, also Dumb Waiter cafe in Sydney Street. Jobs are mainly in the service sector, lots of customer service-type jobs, some IT, sales & marketing if you can stomach it (urgh!), also support worker jobs for mental health / homeless, care assistants etc. Quite a few jobs of various types at Gatwick / Crawley if you don't mind the travel. unemployment is quite high, so you might find strong competition for the decent roles. public sector is quite strong with 2 universities, 2 hospitals, big council plus a number of schools and colleges. hope this helps, razy
nice one razy, im alright, ill be taking the unemployment role, the job is for my mate. friends got 2 dogs a chickon and 2 rabbits, thats the thing were finding hard, we need a place with a garden who dont mind animals. still viable dya reckon??? we can afford 70 quid a week each
update*** we can afford £180 quid a week on rent between us. were bound to get a alright place with that aint we. hurrah!!!!
Yes some favourites are, Augustus Pablo, Lee Scratch Perry, Dub Syndicate, Zion Train and Mad Professor
