DUBROOM ALBUM REVIEW
Alpha and Omega can be considered among the leading figures of the now generation of Dub creators. King Tubby, unfortunatly he left us, has discovered dub, and passed it on to his protegee, Prince (now King) Jammy. Scientist and Mad Professor made the vibe gone even more mad, and now we have Jah Warrior, Rootsman, The Revolutionairy Dub Warriors, Messian Dread and Alpha And Omega. This duo, consisting of a female bass player and a male drummer do everything themselves. Playing, mixing. Although they have released several albums, this is their first international release with a 15 track selection of their earlier work and some previously unreleased. The nice thing is that all the tracks are re-mixed especially for this compilation. This album is a good representation of the early work of Alpha and Omega. It will give you a chance to dig their sound to the fulness. Because there is a typical Alpha and Omega sound for sure. The sistren lays some down some heavy monotonic and hypnotic basslines, where the brethren puts down some heavy steppers and two drop rhythms. Think over this a melodica and spaced out echo's and you have pretty much the sound of Alpha and Omega.
