Hopeful dublicators from practically all over the world, including some established pros, had apparently sent their best efforts to Tanty Records to try to make the "next instalment" of a series of dub disks. Fourteen of those best efforts made the final cut and roots of dub funk 4 is the result. The UK's Jah Warrior, a proven source of contemporary dub, has two offerings: the disk opener has an up-tempo rhythm and busy percussion that are in some sweet kind of tension with the jazzy and nonchalant sax delivering the melody; the second Jah Warrior piece uses a simple horn riff as an excuse for its organized clamour--the rattling, clacking, bongo-ing type of clamour that I enjoy. No More Babylon, from France, presents a steady drum and bass with splintered vocals and an interesting electronic layer from which a tune almost emerges. Social Living Sound gives us a reflective melodica tune atop nicely balanced dub elements, mixing fun with moodiness. Dub Master Rico starts in a far eastern mode but introduces several surprising changes along his rhythmic way. Peyote Sound System's track has a gung-ho rhythm with lots of weird stuff that gradually become grounded in recognizable instruments, including horn section. The dynamic Dub Funk Association keeps us bopping, but I'm intrigued by the soft, unobtrusive vocal always there at the edge of the sound. An orchestral horn overture might make you think DJ Perch of Germany is into classical music, but nope, it's definitely reggae-based dub with a prominent beat and occasional fragile vocal. Cosmic Rocker and Zeb, in their turn at bat, allow lots of space and time to contemplate their evocative electronic bird calls, and Doctah X prescribes some Jimi Hendrix guitar growls and feedback along with a disembodied vocal. The closest we come to an actual song is by Mystic Vibrations; it has a melody and large chunks of vocal. Solid nyahbinghi drumming fortunately keeps The Interruptor's spacey, tuneful homage to Mother Africa from floating away, while Piano B's "Dub My Roots" is subtle and highly experimental, owing almost as much to John Cage as to King Tubby. Humble Band from Mali closes the show with a more traditional approach, dubbing up a rocksteady-style organ tune. I suspect that not all the submissions to Tanty were absolutely great, but these 14 surely are. It's an eclectic collection, as promised in the subtitle, and proof beyond any reasonable doubt that dubiosity is alive and kicking, all over the world.

In its second year, the festival will be building on its success in 2004. The fuel to our fire? It's the great local, national, and international media response as well as the over 15,000 local and international spectators that descended on the Old Port for the good weather and the sweet sounds of Roots Rock Reggae.

To feed your spirit, we've introduced a new feature-"Gospel Reggae Sunday Afternoon" featuring Marvia Providence, Chevelle Franklin and Monty G. Due to overwhelming crowd response, Morgan Heritage, Johnny Dread (Cuba/U.S.) and Sael (Martinique) will be returning. 2005 Features This year's festival will be much more of an experience. We've added a larger stage, a more powerful sound system, more visual effects that will add more drama to the performances and giant projection screens so you can see all the action up close without being in the front row.
