As a producer for U-Roy, Big Youth, Ken Boothe, and Horace Andy, he created the masterpiece dub album *Pick A Dub*—one of the first official dub albums in history—and the unique, psychedelic, exotic reggae masterpiece *Flesh Of My Skin, Blood Of My Blood*, known as the first concept album in reggae history "Flesh Of My Skin, Blood Of My Blood"—these are the works of dark-side reggae legend Keith Hudson, who in 1974 released the psychedelic, exotic reggae masterpiece "Playing It Cool & Playing It Right," a psychoacoustic journey into the depths of his own being, recorded and produced at Wackies in New York, which also hints at a reggae & dub, is now available as a long-awaited remastered analog LP reissue. In a sense, this is a masterpiece of psychedelic dub for deep listening—a work that transcends the boundaries of reggae and dub, undulating and shimmering. It features a total of 12 tracks, combining original and dub versions. Time and space warp. Wonderful.
Julius Eastman’s “Stay On It,” Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke’s “Lifetime Of A Flower,” Suzanne Ciani’s “Improvisation On Four Sequences,” Slapp Happy’s “Sort Of,” Fred Frith “Guitar Solo / Fifty,” Jards Macalé “Jards Macalé,” and Joyce “Passarinho Urbano”—the Week-End Records label, launched by the Week-End Festival in Cologne, Germany, which has been consistently releasing a string of incredibly cool, carefully curated releases, presents its long-awaited 10th new release. The liner notes include a rare interview with Lloyd “Bullywackie” Barnes. While the price is quite high, this is a masterpiece record worthy of being a family heirloom—a must-have for every household. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
