This album is, thankfully, a true dub piece. The grooves are haunting,
evocative, and wide open with the requisite layers of delay and dark silence.
Marley fans may be disappointed by the absence of vocals, and the radical
"translation" of the material. However, dub fans and ambient music
aficionados will enjoy the depth of the remixes and appreciate the
cross-genre nod to Marley's genius. Think of it as an homage, but not a new
Marley record.
