AMG EXPERT REVIEW: 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. -- Nathan Bush
