Doctor Pablo & The Dub Syndicate – North Of The River Thames (1984)

July 23, 2024

North of the River Thames is album I have come to address here several times, but often fail to find the words to describe it. One should except dub reggae, of course, but there is an extra-low quality to the bass that really works well here. On the other hand, there are some repetitive natures to the melodica and / or keyboard lines which act less like a leitmotif and feel more like you are going around in circles, which isn’t particularly great.
