Cat No: MIR100739

Dub Mir presents the reissues of the great Hopetown Brown aka Scientist the legendary dub master. Along with Keith Hundson’s Pick A Dub and Lee Perry’s Blackboard Jungle Dub this excellent Scientist release is one of the essential dub albums out there. Scientist keeps things lively with plenty of reverb and echo-treated percussion, ghostly piano parts, video game sound effects, and other various wobbly interjections from the mixing board. And adding to the record’s expert evocation of the Halloween spirit are some fiendishly voiced intros, the cover art’s cartoon potpourri of horror film characters, and the dubious claim made in the linernotes that Scientist mixed it all at midnight on Friday the 13th (reach for the flashlights kids).
