Xterminator, featuring Luciano, Sizzla & Cocoa Tea
MLK Dub
Ras RASCD 3248
Xterminator�s Philip "Fatis" Burrell produced this 15-track powerhouse
dub revue of today�s highest-flying dancehall, DJ and reggae regents,
including Cocoa Tea, Luciano, Sizzla, Fred Locks, Louie Kulcha, Ninjaman
and Ras Shiloh. Participating studio musicians include Grammy winner Sly
Dunbar, Winston Brown, Donald Dennis, Dean Fraser, Luciano, Melbourne
Miller and a posse of mostly female harmony singers identified only by
first name. The textually minimal booklet presents a graphically compelling, dub-like
invocation of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Martin Luther King�s universally resonant
phrases, "I have a dream" and "free at last." Dream we do, and if freedom remains an
elusive ideal, as this recording�s emancipated spirit testifies, the wicked must flee, and
chanting down Babylon, we shall overcome. � Michael Stone
