When English reggae band Aswad released their third album New Chapter in 1981, it didn’t perform as well as expected within the mainstream reggae market, and so the band decided to reimagine the record with a dub remix. That did not go unnoticed: A New Chapter of Dub, released in 1982, went on to receive critical acclaim and is considered to be one of the greatest dub albums of all time. Known for its shuddering bass and reverberated brass, as well as the traditional dub use of delay, drop-outs and echo, the album became a landmark in its genre.
