    Let Him Go Riddim - Midnight Rock

    Heavy, spacious roots with a dubwise edge runs through Let Him Go Riddim, and the Midnight Rock cut leans into that late-dub-era Kingston feel rather than chasing anything flashy. Johnny Osbourne’s “Let Him Go” sits at the center, while Michael Palmer and Jim Brown turn up on “Ghetto Dance” in a few forms, including a straight vocal take and a version with dub tacked on. The set also opens with Jah Thomas and Roots Radics on “Ghetto Dub, ” then closes in proper studio fashion with “Scientist Explosion Dub” credited to Scientist and King Tubby, which tells you exactly where the low-end pressure is coming from. Jah Thomas is listed as the producer, and the riddim’s 1983 run is a short six-track sequence.
