"With Shanachie records maintaining a catalog of classic Augustus Pablo
titles like King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown and King David Melody, and
the release of Island's Classic Rockers, this collection from lesser-known
label Ocho seems likely to fall through the cracks. Indeed, a title like
Dub, Reggae & Roots From the Melodica King may seem unlikely to shed new
light on an already renowned Jamaican producer. Yet what may first appear
to be another attempt to repackage Pablo's music to capitalize on the
uninitiated is in fact a fantastic collection of some of his best early
material. While there is a small degree of overlap with previous releases,
many of the cuts offered are decidedly more difficult to track down. Great
care has been taken with the running order as dubs or alternate mixes
typically follow more familiar versions. So Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love
You So" is given a superb melodica reading on "Cassava Piece," and the
guitars of "Give Praise" slip, slide, and get submerged under water on
"Silent Satta." In the hands of lesser producers, listeners would be
forced to scour the results in search of insignificant variations. On The
Melodica King, however, there are the likes of both Lee Perry and King
Tubby at the controls, in addition to Pablo himself. Perry's contributions
include a haunting revisitation of Pablo's "Java" rhythm ("Dub Ethiopia")
and the outstanding and oddly understated "Black Ants Lane." As for Tubby,
his mix of "Black Gunn" (led by Pablo's ringing xylophone) is the most
wonderfully bizarre thing on hand, and "New Style" (a dub of Bongo Pat's
"Young Generation") is rock-solid dub 101. Excellent liner notes detail
Pablo's evolution during the period and point the way to the original
sources for many of the rhythms." -- AMG
