Most 12" records come in plain old boring black or white sleeves. But the latest release from Kryptic Minds, One of Us, has some really cool artwork from ashes57. There is on minor gaffe I noticed however. The bicycle in the lower right corner on the back cover has the driveshaft on the left side, not the right side. Maybe it's a special ninja bike.




I've been a fan of Scientist for a long time. He was the first dub record I heard. As I delve deeper into dub reggae, I continue to be amazed at the extensiveness of his work as a mixer and engineer. I discovered this record he shares with Maxie and Barnabas on the Silver Camel label:




Hopefully, some label will re-release it, or I can score a copy on ebay. I played the Maxie track, "Bloodlight", a dub version of a reggae cover of the Stylistics "People Make the World Go Round." I plan on playing a Scientist track off this soon.

I started off tonight's dubstep set with what I thought was an unreleased track by Jakes, which I heard on a rinse.fm show co-hosted by the man two years ago. But I was wrong on both counts. The song is Yout Man by Revolt Op, and readily available on Mode Recordings. But...Mode Recordings is Komonazmuk's label, a member of Jakes' H.E.N.C.H. crew. Has anyone ever seen Jakes and Revolt Op in the same room??
