The 7th installment, 7th Grade, of the quietly experimental dubwise 7-inch series "Riddim Dub School" by Prince Istari, the maverick dub artist from Hamburg, Germany, who has given us an offbeat dub album themed on Erik Satie and a unique vocoder robot-voiced dub science album! Congratulations on entering junior high! Limited to 200 copies, 12-inch.
The theme this time is "Lessons into Drum and Bass Wise." A1 "Dub Me Loopy (One Drop Version)" (sample1) takes "DUB ME LOOPY" from Riddim Dub School 5th Grade and stretches it into a seven-minute one-drop, warmly dubwised to just the right temperature with strikingly odd synth tones; A2 "Intimacy Coordinator" is an experimental, effects-laden meets heavy drum & bass session dubwise; A3 "Labour's Dub" (sample2) is a spacious spring-reverb disco dub cosmos with spacey drifting organ; B1 "Gone Too Soon (Version 3)" (sample3) is an alternative version of "GONE TOO SOON" from Riddim Dub School 4th Grade, with brass fanfare, xylophone-like loungey tones and a minimally chiseled deep disco rockers military beat; and B3 "No Dub Inna Di Wrong" is a seriously heavy roots-way styley dope & deep dubwise — six unique dubwise tracks brimming with the experimentalism only Prince Istari can deliver.
