{"product_id":"the-revolutionaries-earthquake-dub-lp","title":"The Revolutionaries - Earthquake Dub (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1976's \"Earthquake Dub\" by The Revolutionaries, produced by Ossie Hibbert amounts to a crisp, spacy and texturally nuanced soundscape. The bass is front and center, very deep, rich and clear. In fact the listener may (for once) want to turn the bass down just a tad in order to hear the small, elegant details which are hidden below like tiny fossils.\n\nSeveral tracks feature some fine solo and ensemble horn lines (featuring Tommy McCook), which are appropriately spaced-out and ethereal. There is a also a bit of organ providing some sweetness to the mix, including some courtesy of Ossie himself. In fact, it may be Hibbert's capacity as a musician which allowed him to make such tasteful dubs on this, his very first dub album.\n\nThere are virtually no vocals bringing Earthquake Dub down to earth, and that fact helps elevate it to true high art, abstract, nonlinear, and unfettered by earthly concerns. The deftly applied echo and reverb, augmented by the occasional bleep and bloop makes the tracks feel startlingly modern and fresh. It's marvelous how creative and ahead of their time the 1970s Jamaican dubmasters (including Hibbert) actually were. This is essential for any fan of the Revolutionaries, even for the track \"River Bank\" alone, which is an upbeat dubbed-out solo sax work out, with a skanky, almost carnival-sounding rhythm which will remind you why it's good to be alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=972134364\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026lt;a href=\u0026quot;https:\/\/therevolutionariesband.bandcamp.com\/album\/earthquake-dub\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Earthquake Dub The Revolutionaries\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"JOE GIBBS MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49756186312963,"sku":"008","price":4664.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/10598.jpg?v=1791081744","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/the-revolutionaries-earthquake-dub-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
