Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
From his idiosyncratic delivery and leftfield lyrics to his rootsy basslines and dubwise studio tinkerings, Mr Manuva has always paid homage to his Jamaican roots. That he has always fancied himself as something of a dubmeister was made apparent on the dub version of his lauded single "Witness" (which appeared on Zero 7's Another Late Night compilation), but even before then he was remixing (as Walworth Road Rockers) Big Dada Sound's "Showtime" among others. Here, he gets to explore his "mixing-desk-as-instrument" ethos to the max, reworking tracks from his recent Run Come Save Me LP into spectral dubshadows of their former selves, as well as presenting a few tracks that didn't make it onto the LP and one or two cuts previously only available as limited MP3 downloads. Cuts like "Highest Grade Dub" and "Brand New Dub" are direct descendents of the King Tubby/Augustus Pablo school of smoke-filled trickery, while "Tears" and "Revolution" are more 80's and hip-hop influenced respectively, but come with deep and dirty dub signatures. Like everything Mr Manuva turns his hand to, Dub Come Save Me is weirdly sophisticated, and serves as an essential companion to the original long player.--Paul Sullivan

Chilled summer music. Sit back and relax with some robust beats, bouncing vocals and nod-inducing piano. This album bounces along providing a perfect soundtrack to a sunny summers day. Helpful i the middle of winter you may say, but DCSM reminds you of summer days with an ice cold drink in your hand.
The meandering rhythms and beats plant ideas in your head and they spiral out of control. DCSM is musical weed; just chilled, relaxed and a wonderful spectrum of dub. This album really spreads dub's wings, expanding its boundaries as a genre and creating new styles for future dubmeisters to work on. Vocals aren't necessary on every track, they simply accentuate the beat when used while the other tracks develop. A truly innovative album from Roots, proving he is one of the brightest talents in the current British music scene. He ain't no one trick pony, Roots is versatile and creative and I look forward to more material from him.

Roots has spent a lot of time & effort ensuring that this collection of excellent tunes has the heaviest bass going. My neighbours can attest to this. The dub tunes here are dark, heavy, using loads of delay, straight from the Mad Professor school & are superbly cut. The new songs rock too & have been treated to the same level of bass-heavy mixing. Check the awesome Man Fi Cool ("I aint got no choice but to flex like a nutter"); Revolution 5 with Chali 2na which is better even than Join the Dots on Run Come Save Me; and my track of the album, UK Warriors, with the North London Dapper Dan himself, Skinnyman. I catually reckon this is a better offering than RCSM & has hardly been out of my CD player since I got it. Heavy, mate - Heavy, Heavy, BOOM!

Rather than release a new album, this is a collection of dubs and tracks that did not quite make it to the Run Come Save Me album. It is a mixed bag, tracks like 'Tears' and 'UK Warriors' are excellent but most of the dubs desperately need lyrics to back them up, The 'Witness' dub in particular just ain't the same without those ten pints of bitter to enjoy it with. I would describe this as a nice addition to Run Come Save Me and it does have a nice sound throughout, but buy this expecting the new classic from Roots and you will be very disapointed. Think of this as a stop gap while we wait for the true follow up...

Musical roots of Roots Manuva!
I picked up this CD and saw that it only had 10 tracks, I thought this was wack. There are 5 dubs and 5 tunes that didn't make it on to 'Run Come Save Me'. Read more
