Hints of Lee Scratch Perry's seminal Black Ark recordings waft through the music and echoes of King Tubby's ground breaking dub techniques jump out through the mix. The playing is solid and heavy with bass lines firmly rooted at the bottom end of the frequency range and guitars and high hat crisply skanking and sibilating. Ranging from lighter major key riddims to heavy minor key dub rampages this collection runs the gamut of mood, reggae styles and musical colors.
It is a must have record for any lover of Reggae or Dub Reggae music, or indeed good music of any genre. Mel Gray, musician, producer and engineer of Eating Betty in Dub has been concentrating on Reggae music for ten years, having decided that this music is the way forward. He grew up in Ireland and now lives in New York and when not working away in his ACEtone Studio he likes to catch up with the Reggae 'appenings in the New York area.
Darkest Dub was recently rated number 1 on www.dub.com and the same track shared top ten ranking with such luminaries as Jackie Mittoo, Cedric Im Brooks and King Tubby on the CJSF Radio Dub Show in July, August and September '03.
Eating Betty is currently working on a new collection of dubs and they are sounding massive. For not quite final version sneak previews hit the artist website button or paste http://www.acetonestudio.com/eatingbetty.html into your browser. It's FREE!
Plans to record with Prince Alla have been put on hold due to financial reasons - so buy the album and help Eating Betty go to Jamaica to record with the reggae legend!
