Nine years ago, a loose collective of rebel souljahs calling themselves the Crooklyn Dub Consortium launched a new movement in sound with the seminal Certified Dope, Volume 1 (WSCD003), a compilation which defined a burgeoning style from the underground dubbed "Illbient" by the press. Once again, one-upping the downtempo dummies, the crooked knights--including Spectre, Scotty Hard, HIM, and Bill Laswell-- return to prove that good music will always outlive the hype. Certified Dope, Volume 4 (WSCD048) stands as a testament to the awesome power of the Sound. Count on the expanded Crooklyn Dub Outernational to define these crucial times with this latest slate of dubwise illtronica. Babylon's Burning, ya heard? Or do the powers that be want you to party and bullshit till oblivion? Crooklyn Dub has the sonic cure to get you through the commercial blues. And as always, all styles and flavors represented here ripple with originality. French dub powers Brain Damage and Lab lead the charge with the haunting collabo, "Ph neutre," sounds from the Other Side. From the deviant dub-hop of Philosophy Major's "The Soundless Hum of Prayer" to the digital roots of Zion Train's "Modimo," the kaleidoscopic mix is seamless yet unpredictable. Twilight Circus suprises us with the world class dub-funk of "Twlight Circus Meets WordSound Inna Crooklyn 2003 Style," while Bill Laswell takes it back to the old school with Sly & Robbie riding shotgun on "Finite State Machine Dub." Roots Control rides the crushing backbeat of "Boombastic" to dubwise glory. And Doug Scharin's HIM outfit has grown in leaps and bounds as they display adept musicality on "Disco Lips." Meanwhile, left coast assassin King Fader treats a Systemwide beat like Adrian Sherwood on "Eyupsultan" as bonny Prince Charming treats us to his delightful dub rendition of "A Touch of Romance." For the hard stuff, look no further than Scotty Hard, who's coughing up chunks of suspicious dub matter on "Smoke Damage." Teledubgnosis, too, lends some earth-shaking dub-rock to the set with "Ladies &Gentlemen.... Always." World famous DJ/Rupture represents with the tweaked out madness of "Pleasure Ruin Dub," and bass terrorist Spectre never disappoints with the all out low-end assault of "Al Quaida." Always light years ahead of the pack, the genre-bending, boundary-breaking WordSound proves, once again, that Crooklyn keeps on making it HOT. Much more than music, this is a sonic tonic for survival as Babylon burns.

With their outstanding third album One More Reason, rootsjazzical south London horns-men Soothsayers and musical spars the Red Earth Collective gave us authentic-sounding, vintage roots reggae with enough of their jazz, funk and afrobeat influences to avoid stale nostalgia. Now, their follow-up set of dub versions supplies that record’s ideal companion.

Rest assured, the group has far too much exuberance to make the kind of sparse repetitive dub that's incomprehensible to the sober mind. Comprising six remixes from the One More Reason sessions, one from second album Tangled Roots and some unreleased material (all mixed live by UK dub eminence Manasseh), these dubs are as busy and melodic as those of Treasure Isle and Tuff Gong’s Errol Brown, with the power and UK moodiness of reggae-jazzmaster Dennis Bovell.

The repositioning of Red Earth Collective before Soothsayers on the cover is no accident. For while the horns are prominent – check Robin Hopcraft’s militant trumpet and Idris Rahman’s swooping, eddying sax on new track The Brixton Pound – the other players have a lot more room to be heard. This is particularly true of Idris’s sister Zoe, who was quite low in the mix last time but whose electric piano and organ runs now take on a new life amid the spacious grooves.

There's an instrumental to the Johnny Clarke-inspired Music (shorn of its English Capital Letters-style harmonies to reveal its Aggravators-based structure) and a more traditionally one-drop retool of the Clarke collaboration Bad Boys.

Conversely, the flip to another fresh tune, Hard Times, is suffused with guest violinist Sami Bishai's strings (a big no-no in traditional UK roots) encapsulating the philosophy of a band who, unlike many non-Jamaicans, know exactly how to play reggae yet want something more. Meanwhile, West African-tinged efforts such as Benin City Dub and a timely cover of Fela Kuti’s Africa (with spoken word by percussionist Adesose Wallace) pick up the pace as and when required.

Few modern dub albums can sustain interest across an entire disc. Red Earth Dub, the work of a group still on the rise, is a member of that exclusive club.

It starts with high, yelping vocals, a slow, solid beat from the barrel-like taiko drum, and the wail of the hichiriki flute used in Shinto religious ceremonies. Then comes the distinctive rumbling bass that is the trademark of one of Britain's maverick veterans. Jah Wobble is off on his musical adventures once again. He may have started out as the backbone of the early Public Image Ltd, but he has gone on to fuse dub with jazz-rock, English folk and (most recently) far eastern themes, with his bravely original Chinese Dub. Now he has moved on to reinterpret Japanese styles, using very much the same technique, matching traditional acoustic instruments against his bass, beats keyboards and programming, and doing so with remarkable delicacy. Best of all is his treatment of traditional pieces such as Kokiriko, in which the sturdy vocals from drummer Joji Hirota are matched against the zither-like koto or banjo-like shamisen, with Wobble's bass holding the music together.
