Review: The sounds of 80s dub reggae coming out of the alternative and post-punk scenes of a rebuilt but divided (West and East) Germany is explored on a sampler of The Vision. A consciousness dream built by Hanover homegrown, Felix Wolter aka Dubvisionist with cohorts Sister Natty and Tygrr, they explored the meeting of cultures of that moment, combining their background in and love of rock, krautrock, punk and post-punk, diving deep into an adoration of reggae and dub, especially emanating from discovering On-U Sound. Later encouraged by Adrian Sherwood himself during a pilgrimage to London, The Vision was born. Working from riddims rather than songs, jamming continuously before vocals are added, arranging and then dubbed live on the mixing desk, utilised as instrument over a mere sound tool. Their debut '10 Tracks Of Reggae & Dub Music', from which this release is culled, was released in 1987, seeing the band go on to release and tour for the following decade, with spin off bands, projects, producing and a studio continuing up until today. A live band exploring the studio with their interpretation of dub reggae in all its forms, the songs Far Away, Different Language and Whirl showcase Sister Natty's conscious style atop roots and steppers riddims. The African Headcharge-inspired Natty Vision, possibly the release highlight, opens to percussion jams before the spoken words of Fear and speaker shacking, On-U-dubs-clash-crash of No 4 complete this EP sampler with ears wide.

Review: Noted reggae vocalist Barry Biggs comes under the Emotional Rescue microscope here with celebrated LA digger Patrick Billard aka DJ Duckcomb remixing one of his cuts. First up is the original version of 'Illusion' which has big pianos over the clean digital dub. The soaring vocal is obscured by plenty of lush effects and melodies. After a version twists and contorts the original, the DJ Duckcomb Discomix slows things down and ups the dazzling disco vibes but keeps the dub dubby bottom end to ensure plenty of dance floor impact. This is a classy one as ever from this label.

Review: House of David Gang know their onions when it comes to funky reggae vibes, even though they come from Canada. The Jamaican spirit lives everywhere! Ed Solo's reggae mix is a smooth, swaggering blend of classic reggae, rocking guitar licks and laid back grooves. Picking up the pace, the Ed Solo and Stickybuds edit adds super tight drums and a dancefloor-heavy bassline to get those arms flailing and those bodies grooving. Two very different sounds from one classic track, if you're a reggae warrior, you can't miss this.
