This one's a personal favorite of ICOOYS crew! And for some reason, it's not easy to find copies of this album anymore. We love pretty much anything Dub featuring the vocals of Michael Rose (Black Uhuru vocalist). After hearing this, hopefully you will too. D-D-DWEET!

(review from reggae-vibes.com)
Heartbeat recently released the album 'Dance Wicked' from former Black Uhuru lead vocalist Michal Rose. "Dub Wicked" features the 12 dubs to the vocal cuts of "Dance Wicked". Mafia and Fluxy produced both albums and play all the instruments (additional musician : Red Eye). Mafia and Fluxy have tried to produce a dub album inna " original old school, heavy dubwize, bass and drums and echo, extra echo, Tubby's style, yardee style" fashion. The result sounds wicked ! It's a real dub album, with the vocals of Michael Rose echoing and fading, deep bass sounds and distorted drumrolls as the solid foundation. "Dub Wicked" is one of the few true dub albums of the Nineties!

Tracklist:
1. Dub well happy
2. Wicked dub
3. Lion jungle dub
4. Gold mine
5. Dreadlocks in dub
6. Reality dub
7. Straight to landlord's head
8. Blinding version
9. Goodbye
10. Mind this yah dub
11. Dub up
12. Ghetto life

no you're not tripping. I somehow spaced the download code when I posted this at work - then caught it once I got home and fixed it up. LOL

we are human after all! just barely.

Any chance you have (and are willing to share) "Dance Wicked"?

sorry to say i've only got the dubs to offer up. i'll keep a lookout for it.

oddly enough, I've never felt the need to search out original Uhuru or Michael Rose stuff that I have Versions or Dubs of. His voice is funny and is a nice touch w/ the dub, but he can also be a bit much with the full vocals. Its all love though.
