Dubspace :: The Harmonidub Edition

Dubmonica3.jpg

Another installment in the Dubspace series, this time highlighting harmonica.

I know not everyone likes harmonica in their dub (Brainwashed says of the Lee “Scratch” Perry tracks featured here as including: “a few questionable harmonica intrusions”) but piss on it. Music-loving is subjective and I like harmonica in my dub. Maybe you will too.

This playlist features some repeat artists from the same albums so I’ve just included the albums represented for the visuals rather than every track.

Enjoy.

Anathallo Hymns

download.jpeg

The Greek word anathallo means “To renew, cause to grow, or bloom again,” which is an appropriate umbrella for the band of that name. The band’s music is hard to categorize but yet familiar, experimental yet accessible and often focuses on the themes of renewal and redemption.

In 2004, the band recorded an EP simply entitled “Hymns,” a surprisingly sparse and traditional take on six hymns. The short release demonstrates the band’s loving attention to detail and the creation of ambiance and emotion, not simply through the lyrics but also the music itself. Incorporating many of the harmonies and odd instrumentations of their other releases the release, for the most part, they remain true to the hymns themselves; honoring their content. The presentation is both humble and heartfelt, something missing in many “worship” recordings of late.

This was a limited release with all proceeds going to support a homeless mission. It remains out of print (and from what I understand, will not be reprinted) and therefore remains a mystery to many. I was lucky enough to purchase one of the few available copies several years ago and with the band’s permission, I am making the entire release available for download.

You can stream or download the EP as a single file here or jump below to download a zip file of individual songs and artwork.

Enjoy.

Tracklisting:

  1. It is Well With My Soul

  2. I Need Thee Every Hour

  3. Come Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

  4. All Creatures of Our God and King

  5. Before the Throne of God Above

  6. Wondrous Love

I don’t know a thing about this performance. Not a year. Not the setlist.

But, gosh-dang if it ain’t pretty and well worth a half hour of your time. “Seoul” (the first song) is one of my favorite songs and surely the prettiest song featuring song and desk bells you’ve ever heard, right?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Live At Sojus (1998)

download.jpeg

This music blog is a hobby. I do it because I enjoy sharing music. I’ve mentioned several times how much tape trading through the mail played an important role in my musical development. I’ve shared lots of live concerts that I was first exposed to during my tape-trading days.

Today we return to those roots and feature a show by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. 12.17.98. Live at Sojus, Monheim, Germany. This remains one of the most pristine live recordings I have come across. I don’t tape trade any more but this one always holds a special place in my memory. I vividly remember putting this on and writing a paper (with headphones on) in one of the seminary lobbies where I used to study.

I have also shared my personal giddiness every time one of these personally-memorable shows is already available online so that I don’t have to upload, label, and all that crap. This is one of my favorites.

Oh, and feel free to skip the “Intro.” Otherwise, Enjoy.

Setlist:

  1. Intro

  2. The Dead Flag Blues

  3. Moya

  4. World Police And Friendly Fire

  5. She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field -> String Loop Manufactured During Downpour”
