Dub

Lee Perry basically built a smoke machine and called it a mixing board. Everything here is drowning in reverb and tape delay on purpose — the drums vanish and reappear, the bass just sits there like it owns the place. Title track is the one that gets sampled forever for a reason. If you've never heard dub done at the source, start here and stop arguing.
