Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created as the heavyweight instrumental counterpart to the acclaimed 'Social Living' album, 'Living Dub' features masterful engineering by Sylvan Morris. The stripped-down mixes heavily emphasize the thunderous, meditative basslines and intricate percussion, plunging the listener into a deep, echoing sonic environment. It stands as a dark, hypnotic cornerstone of late-seventies Jamaican dub.
