What are you listening to right now? v2.0

New-ish stuff from Rob Gallagher (Galliano/2 banks of four/Earl Zinger)

 
Currently in orbit on planet Bongo, this incredible slice of early spacefunk dub from Herman Chin Loy in 1971. Herman went on to produce one of the first dub LPs (Aquarius Dub, 1973), as well as taking credit for being the first person to record and provide the stage name for a young Augustus Pablo.

I wonder why he dropped out of the producing business for a few years, perhaps he could have become one of the great names in dub alongside the other early innovators like King Tubby and Lee Perry. His use of effects here was way ahead of the curve and surely influenced many who followed.
