Product Description:
When Jamaican recording engineers Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock, Errol Thompson, and Lee "Scratch" Perry began crafting "dub" music in the early 1970s, they were initiating a musical revolution that continues to have worldwide influence. Dub is a sub-genre of Jamaican reggae that flourished during reggae's "golden age" of the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Dub involves remixing existing recordings--electronically improvising sound effects and altering vocal tracks--to create its unique sound. Just as hip-hop turned phonograph turntables into musical instruments, dub turned the mixing and sound processing technologies of the recording studio into instruments of composition and real-time improvisation. In addition to chronicling dub's development and offering the first thorough analysis of the music itself, author Michael Veal examines dub's social significance in Jamaican culture. He further explores the "dub revolution" that has crossed musical and cultural boundaries for over thirty years, influencing a wide variety of musical genres around the globe.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great resource for musicians, producers and students of popular culture
This is a book written by an academic, but it has applications for anyone interested in this kind of music. After covering the development of modern Jamaican music from independence in 1962 on, he devotes a lot of space to analysis of the different recording strategies used by most of the well-known originators of dub and breaks down individual tracks in some detail, even detailing the specific equipment used by many producers. As someone who records and mixes my own music I found this kind of information ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Imaginative Work on a Revolutionary Musical Form
A book like this is long overdue. The simple fact that it was published makes it good. Of the two most important strains of contemporary black music, hip-hop has generated thousands of books and articles, but dub has been largely ignored by the ethno-musicological world.

Dub - Soundscapes And Shattered Songs In Jamaican Reggae by Yale ethnomusicologist Michael E. Veal, is a scholarly work, but don't let that scare you. I know some of you might dislike the book because of its somewhat academic ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Overly academic treatis on dub
I was very excited to find a first book dedicated to DUB MUSIC. The book starts off well enough, and I appreciated the contextualizing with experimental electronic music movements in Europe. But overall the problem is that the author has written the book too much concerned with satisfying his musicologist colleagues, and thus the lay reader is left in the cold (and I say this as someone who took musicology courses at University myself!). Veal has taken much of the excitement out of the subject and left academic ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Droppin' Science
While there may be some readers grumbling about the author's 'dryness' in this volume, I found it to be a unique and invaluable resource in bringing out many heretofore unknown details of dub production techniques from some of its most revered protagonists.

This book authoritatively helps frame Dub in the greater context of Jamaica's musical and cultural landscape in the second half of the twentieth century, with unique innovations which some would argue has had an immense but vastly under-appreciated ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - the author could not translate his enthusiasm for the subject into a compelling read
Reading Michael Veal's Dub: Soundscapes & Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae, one understands just how vast Veal's knowledge of Jamaican music is. Unfortunately, the author could not translate his enthusiasm for the subject into a compelling read. Instead of being vibrant and humorous, the text is often academic and dry, stripping away the passion that would usually be associated with the subject matter. Ideally the book would have come with a companion CD, but Veal explained that the licensing would be too expensive, ... Read More
