Monday Jun 22, 2020
In 2002 (!) I transfered my MiR vinyl discoplate collection into digital formats. In 2020 (!) I put them in a crucial selection. Like MC William Simmons once said in his introduction of the "Live At The Counter Eurovision 79" album: "The music of our heart is roots music!". Nothing more to say.

You may Sit & Wonder (but we call it Dub!) Vol.2 [1979 - 2015]
Tuesday Oct 22, 2019
Tuesday Oct 22, 2019
Still sitting and wondering? Right, so here´s the second part. Starting with the Dub version of the underground hit "Blue Eye Boy" by the sound pioneers of Renegade Soundwave. I saw them live first time at the Berlin Atonal 5 in March 1990, it was ground breaking!
Raw Stylus were part of the Acid Jazz movement and presents here their remix of the Bill Withers tune „Use me“.
The Senior Allstars from Germany play the instrumental version of the Tamlins´ „Baltimore“, Sly & Robbie did two different dub versions of it, too. The orginal song was sang by Randy Newman and of course by: Nina Simone.
Again a Senoir Allstars version, the Chosen Brothers´ „Mango Walk“, again a reggae classic, this time originated by the In-Crowd. The Bullwackie Dubwise Version was re-released by the Berlin Rhytm & Sound Crew in 1998.
Peikko & Lassi´s „Pula Dub“ seems to be a One-Hit-Wonder from Finland, the 12" was produced by Jimi Tenor.
And at last: a UB40 tune, named after a 1964 British science fiction film. Special to the movie is the use of silence to create a chilling athmosphere.
So, here´s the playlist:
- Renegade Soundwave (1990) - Black Eye Boy 00:00:00
- Raw Stylus (1993) - Use Me (Remix) 00:06:52
- The Senior Allstars (2015) – Baltimore 00:11:47
- Sly & Robbie (1985) - Demolition City 00:15:53
- Sly & Robbie (1997) - Demolition City (Dread City Remix) 00:21:26
- Alton Ellis (199?) - Mean What You Say (Starbus Mix) 00:27:05
- The Senior Allstars (2015) - Mango Walk 00:35:02
- Chosen Brothers / Bullwackie's All Stars (1979) - Mango Walk (Dubwise Version) 00:36:00
- Peikko & Lassi (1997) - Pula Dub (original) 00:44:28
- UB40 (1980) - The Earth Dies Screaming (12 Inch Version) 00:50:45
