Welcome to the last part of our DUBtroduction.
This time with 2 fellas that have contributed a great deal to the development of DUB music. Sly Dunbar on the drums and Robert Shakespeare on keyboard/bass guitar are Sly & Robbie. Not only did they produce the music for 3 Grace Jones albums, they also worked with the likes of Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh and DUB genius Mad Professor. In 2004 they impressed once again with their Version Born album, which features today's track of choice. Eurythmics' original version is a great piece of music and definitely hard to beat. Still, S&L manage to deliver the goods. I mean, you can actually feel the rain when listening to the tune. A smacking beat pours out of a mountain spring and heavily disperses into the ear. But only when Imani Uzuri's voice appears, the track reaches full power and brightness. It feels like being in a huge, open space, listening to the patter of rain on the roof. This one is special!
