Observatory Hill Dub (mp3)

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 00:04:39 GMT

This track is called 'Observatory Hill Dub'. It is based on Augustus Pablo's 'Up Warrika Hill' - can you tell that Augustus Pablo is my favourite dub artist no? The mix and possibly the arrangement in this track are not complete, it's only a rough mix for the time being, and I'm still working on the arrangement (if you've got any advice or feedback - even 'you suck' - please dump it in the comments of this blog entry). I originally put the skeleton down for this track some months ago when I did a whole batch of reggae rhythms for my use later. I have been steadily learning as many dub/reggae basslines from the 'classic riddums' as they say, and recording them or transcribing to keyboard parts.

Melodarimbic Internationale (MP3)

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 13:58:54 GMT

This track is called 'Melodarimbic Internationale'. It is based on Glen Brown & King Tubby's 'Melodica International' - I have written two solo melodies on a Melodion (similar to Augustus Pablo's Melodica) and a synthesiser marimba, which is the source of the altered title. My friends tell me this track sounds like some sort of French Dub (hence the Internationale) - probably due to the melodion sounding like a cheap accordian (both, like the harmonica, are metal reed instruments). This mix is a better mix of this track from the 'Melodarimba International' version from last month (now deleted). This track will appear on the forth coming Clan Analogue compilation, "Clan Analogue In Version".
