Serious Dub – Mango

SERIOUS DUB – MANGO 1987

Augustus Pablo sets the tone on Serious Dub with “Eastern Dub, ” and that’s no accident: this Mango LP leans hard into the heavyweight digital dub side of late-’80s reggae, with Sly and Robbie, Jack Radics, Peter Chemist, Kevin Mills and others all cutting across the same stripped-back, bass-first mood. The sequencing keeps it moving from one variation to the next, and Peter Chemist gets three cuts in the middle stretch, which gives the compilation a real anchor before it closes out with Sly and Robbie’s “Sodom Dub. ” Issued by Mango in 1987, it runs 10 tracks long and pairs nine different artists with one tightly focused dub set.
