Riddim -  The best of Sly and Robie in Dub – 1978 – 1985TJDDD162

I dunno I was kinda looking forward to this because the do have been key to Reggae music and more and so influential in various eras and genres as to be indispensable. 

However this somehow falls short. It is heavy rhythmic tight and hard and yet compared to some more innovative like King Tubby’s it has something missing.  It makes you realise how important the sound engineer was and that it doesn’t solely rely on the musicians.  In pure musicianship terms of course this is tops, and probably in the right environment it kicks but as a CD on a home system it doesn’t and way before the end of CD2 you are wishing for much more.
