Review: This dub version of Black Uhuru's 1986 Brutal benefited from a great mixing job by Scientist, whose snaking patterns and boosting of Robbie Shakespeare's bass illuminated the appeal of the original production and songs. Guitarists Frank Stepanek and Daryl, plus rhythm guitar ace Willie Lindo and synthesizer master Tyrone Downie, played brilliantly, and percussion and horn support was seamlessly integrated. Even those who find dub unappealing or distracting should be hooked by this fine release.
