5.0 out of 5 stars A Seismic Soundclash, 3 Jan 2009
Drawing on a well-established link between Reggae music and Ethiopia for inspiration, Dub Colossus (Nick Page formerly Transglobal Underground /Temple of Sound) imaginatively brings together Ethiopian singers and musicians with heavyweight reggae rhythms. Killer bass hooks, sublime percussion and rich dub treatments all pervade one of the most original and varied dub/reggae albums I've come across in 20+ years of interest in the genre. For the purists, it should be stressed that this is far from unadulterated dub reggae as there are 4 or so tracks that don't really qualify as such - ranging from beautifully rendered Ethiopian ballads to blues and Jazz.

Indeed, I wouldn't recommend this if you have any aversion to traditional African music - the majority of tracks combine aforementioned styles to stirring and sometimes surreal effect through the contributions of some of Ethiopia's most accomplished singers and musicians. If you're partial however to an accomplished merging of musical boundaries, which in this instance pays tasteful homage to the very best experimental 70's dub/reggae, look no further!

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and atmospheric..., 13 Nov 2008
By Mr. Sj Hemmings (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is certainly one which I will keep coming back to. The fusion of traditional Ethiopian styles and Jamaican reggae and dub makes for an enticing and rewarding experience. One of my favourite releases of 2008 and definitely recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Ethopian treasure, 26 Mar 2009
This one-of-a-kind project connects the real-life fireworks of old and new, urban Ethiopian music with the Rastafarian mythology that has long linked this country to reggae via the late Emperor Haile Selassie, whom Rastas deify.
The album is the work of Dubuluh (Nick Page) and a host of Ethiopian and English artists. It's an intriguing, somewhat surprising collection of tunes. Often times dub projects can be anchored in a recurrent groove, but Page has created a group of tracks that are quite distinctive. "Neh Yelginete (My First Love)," for instance, is a beautifully layered tune that invokes the Ethiojazz vibe. "Ophir Dub" has a retro feel, bringing to mind the dub reggae of Abyssinians. "Shegye Shegitu (Blue Nile Mix)" is a dark, bluesy number produced in fairly minimalist fashion. The song "Yeka Sub City Rockers" conjures the spirit of Augustus Pablo and blends it with an ambient dub sensibility. The opening track on the disc, "Azmari Dub," is Ethiopique roots reggae featuring vocalist Sintayehu Zenebe and the sturdy punch of the Horns of Negus.
