  Years ago, I used to work in a recording studio in Hermosa Beach, CA. We hired Hopeton Brown (AKA Scientist) to build the monitors for the control room. They were so big that you could could fit inside them. Not joking- I saw Hopeton climb inside one and hot box it before we hung them. Wild shit. We chained them to the rafters of the building and they were so insanely powerful that when you played low frequencies the speaker excursions would literally blow your hair back when you were sitting at the board. I've never experienced anything like it ever since. Good times!

  I was in the computer lab working on an assignment and my color theory teacher stopped me to ask who I was listening to. I showed him this and I think he was genuinely pissed to learn of such an old album from a young buck. Dude didn't let it stop him though, he heard the bass and drums and knew he had to find the source. I was more than happy to share the best album in the world with him.

  The 70s had some of the greatest dub reggae EVER! Still sounds innovative and fresh today!!

  *The best dub in the world... &quot; part probably comes from the fact that no one else had taken dub to that level. Have you listened to this LP on massive bass bins and horn twitters? It&apos;s an out of body experience. <br>Also remember Scientist was probably 17/18 when he raised the stakes on mixing dub. No one has been able to mimic his style, but when you hear a track he mixed, you just know it&apos;s Scientist.<br>To this day he understands both the electronics of modifying recording boards well and &nbsp; music in general.

  Humanity should never let these classics die. Truly naturals.

  Remember those days well . When black youth had to put up with visceral racism and police brutality. This is the music we listened to to meditate and sooth ourselves whilst praying to JAH knowing he sees for nothing is hidden from him.
