Audio Mixer: Dennis Bovell. It might seem unusual for reggae's premier poet/vocalist to release an album on which he never opens his mouth, but that's just what Linton Kwesi Johnson did with LKJ IN DUB. A solid, all-instrumental dub workout, the album is a bit more driving and less spacey than the work of people like King Tubby or Mad Professor. Though many of the usual dub tricks (echo, phasing, etc.) are employed, there seems to be more melodic imperative at work here. The insistent beat and melodic horn parts that mark these eight cuts may be seen as the musical representation of Johnson's impassioned political lyrics with their stolid insinuation and determinism. Clearly, this is not the album with which to introduce oneself to Johnson's work. However, fans who want to pay more attention to the strictly musical side of Johnson's work, or those who just want to hear some good dub from a different source, LKJ IN DUB will do nicely.
