Axiom Dub: Mysteries of Creation 1996
It must have been pretty soon after I came to appreciate #RootsReggae that I found its deeper, spacier sibling, #dub - hell, just flip the 7” or let the 12” run, and there’s the dub version. THIS was the shit; it still is for me.
I think it was one night while listening to #WZBC, #BostonCollege's radio station, that I got my first taste of this Axiom Dub #compilation.
#BillLaswell, wielder of massively heavy #bass, created the Axiom label for his own projects, but also released work by some other artists of his ilk. What he created with this compilation was my portal to a whole new world of sound.
Familiar names like #SlyAndRobbie and #JahWobble mingled with newer players on the scene #SubDub and #DJSpooky; yes, dub #reggae was here, but also new sounds, like a more #electronic-based #BrokenBeat sound, #ambient's skittery cousin #Illbient.
