Dub Collossus - Dr Strangedub (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Dub The Bomb)

Dub and reggae may seem monotonous, with repetitive rhythms and trance-like grooves pulsating the music endlessly, but it is not about the music but in fact the lyrical content. The lyrics are about British colonialism and freedom from that suffering into independence and a sort of Afrocentric statement, and Rastafarianism also pits itself against Catholicism and mainstream religions. The strange repetitive rhythms lay bare the lyrics. Many of the musicians were self-taught, including singers, and there is this massive pool of talent in Jamaica where literally hundreds of artists call home, and in the case of Gregory Isaacs particularly, back catalogues of literally hundreds of songs on many studio albums.
