Another soon to be classic from scientist, you've got to hear it. Any culture fan will love this dubbed out reworking of the "Payday" album. Be sure to check out "payday" by Culture also.

This is the only Scientist cd I have besides Scientist rids the world of the evil curse of the vampires. That said, this album is a truly great dub cd yet not as good as "Rids the world". I'm so used to listening to old school "sounding" dub that its odd to hear a dub cd that sounds so crisp and new, a definite 2000 feel. I haven't heard the original Culture songs that are dubbed on this album, but personally I think they sound great- they have a noticable Scientist feel to them. If you're looking for some new dub, look no further. If you're a fan of Scientist at all, this album is for you.

Scientist is probably the best dub artist out there. However, this CD doesn't ever get a groove going like some of his earlier stuff.Try these instead.
1.Scientist Rids The World Of The Curse Of The Evil Vampires
2.Scientist Meets the Space Invaders

This is the DUB version of Culture's excellent Roots Reggae release "Payday". It is mixed by one of the true legends of DUB: Scientist, the Dub specialist. His hands are faster than the speed of light, and he sounds like dynamite! Aha, yes, with this album he proves to still be among the top of the Dubmasters! I am happy that Scientist hasn't lost his energy, because the same wild style of mixing that I know from, for example, the Greensleeves series, I find it back on this release. And that is not the only thing that reminds me of these classics, because the cover also comes in Comic book style and portrays the artists as superhero's like Batman and Superman. The tracks have impressing titles inna Science Fiction Style: "Beam me up, Dubby", and " Intergalactic Excursion" to name but two. All these things together form the ingredients for a Dubwize Experience Extra-Ordinary! Although there are many similarities with older releases, this CD should not be viewed as "Retro" at all. It is obvious that here we can hear a Mature Scientist: someone with decades of Dub experience. The skilful use of digital effects and recording techniques prove that DUB is still strong, in fact it becomes a more contemporary style of music every day. There's an interview with Scientist as well, in which he describes the difference between King Tubby and Scientist on one side and Lee Perry on the other. Scientist explains: "His (L.P.) remixes are different from ours: Scratch doesn't have the same edge. Like what Tubby and I have... we actually manipulate the equipment to get what we want. He knows music, but as far as the electronic side..." The only Retro-aspect on this album I do not like, is the length. It's 47 minutes long and contains 11 tracks. It would have been nice to have some bonus tracks as well. But, it is a good thing to see that the Scientist still releases masterworks. So go buy this one if you're into the wild style of the Scientist.

With so many played out, old, recycled, lo-fi dub compilation albums being released on small time independent labels, it is great to see that Scientist is still around, creating wicked NEW dub versions. This album shows why Scientist is one of reggae music's most revered producers. On "Scientist Dubs Culture...", Scientist teams up with another legendary reggae artist, Culture, but does not strip the tracks down to the point that the original song is unrecognizable. This album is as much "Culture" as it is "Scientist",and is true to form. Scientist's mixing is superb and effects laden while Culture is as dread as ever. "SDCIPU" is truly an album for dub/roots fans; Reminiscent of the early 80's, but with a clarity and sound quality for the 00's.
