This King Tubby track is what dub should sound like (to my ears anyhow). Tubby mixing it live at the desk, The Aggrovators supplying the
tick-ticka-tick-ticka-tick rhythm and excerpts of
dub-a-dub-dub-dub bass with some spacey FX and phased guitar chords. One of the first dub tracks I ever heard (via the Blood and Fire comp King Tubby: Evolution of Dub 1975-1979, essential). Out of this world.
