Augustus Pablo – Take It Easy Dub. Jah T – El Rocker. Augustus Pablo – Rocking Dub. Jah Levi – False Rumour. Augustus Pablo – Real Rock. Jamaican key instumentalist and producer extraordinaire Horace Swaby better known as Augustus Pablo presents a wonderful roundup of tracks. First album track comes from Lester Bullocks aka Dillinger, whose Take It Easy is an obscure cut to The Heptones’ Love Won’t Come Easy /Augustus Pablo’s Frozen Dub, which is followed by the awesome Take It Easy – Dub. On both tracks the bass is truly killing it! And it’s Dillinger who not only starts off this set, but also rounds it off in great style with the brilliant Braces A Boy, which sees him hitting the spot with his laid back scat vocals.

Augustus Pablo CD Presents DJs From 70s And 80s, Big Cat Sealed. Instead of the usual bare-bones arrangements doctored with echo and sound treatments, keyboardist Augustus Pablo give us a straight ahead instrumental reggae album that features layers of classic analog keyboards. It’s the sound of the layered electronic keyboards that makes this one different from the usual dub crowd, and gives it something more in common with 70s psychedelic keyboard jazz albums like Les McCann’s Layers or exotic instrumental art-rockers like Bo Hanson. The groovy electronic albums of Les Baxter and Denny Martin might come to mind, and Pablo’s way of doubling the clavinet.

Horace Swaby (June 21, 1954 – May 18, 1999), known as Augustus Pablo, was a Jamaican roots reggae and dub record producer, melodica player and keyboardist, active from the 1970s onwards. He popularized the use of the melodica (an instrument at that time primarily used to teach children music in the Jamaican public schools) in reggae music. He was a committed Rasta.

Opening with the melodica showcase "555 Crown Street," the album then takes a detour into DJ territory, with excellent contributions from Dillinger and the obscure Ras Bull, whose "Guide I Jah" is a disarmingly touching expression of spiritual submissiveness. Later there's a great version of the Lennon and McCartney classic "World Without Love" performed by the Immortals, whose rich, gospel-flavored harmonies are offset by a curiously distant mix.
