**** AMG EXPERT REVIEW: For Pablo Meets Mr. Bassie: Original
Rockers, Vol. 2, melodica king Horace Swaby (aka Augustus
Pablo) hand selected instrumental classics from his 1970s
catalog of 45s. Besides being the pinnacle of the roots era,
the decade also witnessed the genesis of dub and the finest
releases of Pablo's career. Producing singers like Jacob
Miller, Dillinger, and Hugh Mundell, Pablo brought the
results to King Tubby's tiny, Waterhouse studio for
reconsideration. The latter applied the fresh sonic touches
he was pioneering; the former delivered his distinct,
sublime melodica. There is much talk of how Pablo
transformed this children's toy into a veritable instrument
and these tracks make a convincing argument. The sound
instantly conjures the spirit of dub. Pablo's in fine form
on "Rockers Rock," leading the band and punctuating the
sound with his own piano runs. His lines are stark yet oddly
forceful. The sound seems to demand your attention, like
teachings from a wise leader. Any question about the
melodica's ability to rival the more standard horn is easily
dismissed with the likes of "Pablo Satta." Concerning King
Tubby's mixes, Pablo's productions have clearly brought out
the best in the great dub organizer. On "Burial Dub,"
explosions of echo resonate from the drum kit as Pablo
delivers a bittersweet melody. The sturdy rhythms of
"Havendale Rock" shudder under Tubby's touch, creating a
strange, halting sensation. Though Pablo's melodica is
absent, the clipped rhythms emitting from his keyboard are
perfectly in tune with the music. The collection also
features Pablo's collaborations with Lee "Scratch" Perry.
While '70s album's like King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown
and East of the River Nile still remain his obvious
benchmarks, Pablo Meets Mr. Bassie is further proof that
virtually any Pablo product from the period ranks with the
finest of '70s roots reggae. ù Nathan Bush
