MESSIAN DREAD MEETS HEARTICAL - AMMAGIDEON TIME

Put your volume up and your subwoofer on because this one goes straight to babylon head as I would tell you! Full original lyrics and vocals by HEARTICAL and intense Dub Mixing from the top to the very last drop. Righteous Militant Style fe true!

Heartical writes and sings his own lyrics and songs. For this track, he gave the chords and some directions for the original rhythm to Messian Dread and sang the lyrics in the Dubroom.

LYRICS: So Much Sufferation Ina This Time While Nations Fight Nations The People Dem Dying I Tell You They Ain't Got No Food To Eat No Place To Go No Place To Even Sleep

I Tell You It's A Hell Ina Babylon Just Look And See

Where Does The Money Go, Babylon Where Does The Money Go

While They Blow Their Resources And Ammunition To Prepare For Their Ammagideon

The Leaders On Nations Design Economies To Buy More Ammunition For Death And Destruction And They Call It Protection And The Call It Liberation

When All The People Need Is Just Some Food To Eat A Place To Sleep And To Love One Another And To Live In Peace

We Don't Need - Your Technology Of Destruction We Don't Need - Your Lies And Confusion We Don't Need - Your New World Illusion We Don't Need - Your Babylon Shitstem

(C) 2004 by HEARTICAL

MESSIAN DREAD another long awaited well season track..

the lyrics is full not only in the wise arrow head words but full too in the mix down and the way you got it inna tight rolling delay, pitch and revs, at 4:50 love the spring verb (or simular) and there after

the backing track is fully tight with propa pan stereo full effect drums. this package to me has Kinetic Energy from start to finnish is continuously driving at you with avalanching power

M.D give thanks and praise

MD coming forward inna HARD stepping style! Tuff, tuff ridddim and conscious lyrics of course.

I would like to hear another mix of this with the vocals a little more forward in the mix and "straighter" , that is, not effected so much, just for the sake of clarity of the message. But no argments with this one!

Yeah!, OK folks, wide massive track here, i agree with TD about the voice..My point is that it's still an amazing track with only TWO notes in the bassline?? Crucial!

Nice driving pulsing steppa rhythm! There's lots of energy and pace in this track - a lot of stuff going on. Is the bass here a real one or a Reason module type thing? I notice the bass you use in these latest Reason tracks sounds quite unusual. Do you still have much analogue input into your tracks? You and this Heartical man, and the other guy on the Area 51 track, should get together with the rest of Jah Roots and produce a showcase album with lots of tight roots and dub.

Greetings! Give thanks for the massive response. The first one was allready there before I updated The Dubroom Website, so that was within the hour! Big up's to VERSIONIST for hosting a so active online DUB community.

TALENTSREPLY: Thanks for the quicker than quick reply. That you are so positive makes motivates me enormous!

TALKINGDOG: Thanks for the feedback! Are you saying that you can not understand the lyrics with this kind of mixing over the voice? I have indeed made the vocals very "effective", so to speak :). But the full lyrics should be understandable, I have tried to achieve that. Sorry that I seem to have failed in that.

DUBHAN, hartstikke bedankt voor de reactie. Het maakt me blijer dan blij!

GARY, thanks for the response! listened to your tune, yes we're both trying to get some electronica involved. Nuff Respekt :)

GANJAFYAH, your words make me *b*l*u*s*h* fe real and I hope that you will con tinue to like the stuff I put out.

JOHNNYREDLOCKS, respekt to one of the Frysian Dubbers out deh! Actually, the bassline has three tones but yes, this is the power of Roots too! If you read this, could you please contact me one of these days? There is something we need to discuss :)

GUSTHECELT, cool that you like the rhythm! Indeed, it's kind of intense. Somertimes there are 5 layers of effects over eachother. Quite a challenge to make it that way without getting too much of a chaotic mess such as unfortunatley perceived by some concerning the vocals. Let me try to answer your questions. The bass is a synth bass. Not a real bassguitar. The bass sounds unusual perhaps because I sometimes apply some layers of effects on the bass. Some filters and reverb and even delay. Inspired by Scientist, Mad Professor and some electronic stuff I occasionaly engage. There's some analogue stuff that I use, but actuaslly not really less then I did before. I am however trying to get a more electronic sound on purpose. I should tell you that not all people I work with are members of JAH Roots. And yeah, we should make an album.

EEKAMOUSE (?)(?)(?), thanks for the note, and perhaps I should at this place explain something about my intentions with the vocals. They're not mine, but they are recorded here in the Dubroom. The vocals are mixed heavily. Not just a little reverb and delay, but FAT FXing. So in that respect I "treated" the vocals just like the rest of the instruments? The rest? Yes, sound-wise. Not lyric-wise, though. I made an attempt to dub the vocals and still get the complete lyrics across. I did freak around with parts of the voice too, make it appear on other places in the mix, sometimes layered over each other, to emphasize certain parts of the text. So this is actually a DUB tune with full lyrics. That's why it's so long. It's not just the vocals singing over a dub tune, but the vocals are "integrated" in the mix itself. I'm sorry that you find I "ruined" the vocals. Fortunately Heartical doesn't agree with that himself :)

CALOGERO, give thanks very much for the nice remark!

Of course this is very nice dub But cause the Messian Dread benchmark should be high ;-) ... a little bit criticsm here from my site:

In my opinion the whole mix is too much washed out by using the effectsection in a very extreme way. In result you are having a loss of attack in the riddim. People could feel like sitting ina echochamber - not getting the riddimstick, feeling and message from this song.

4/5

Yes King, Big up yourself, Wicked tune!! I agree with what some people seem to think though.. about it might be good to do two mixes of this one (more dubby version & other with cleaner vocal) 5/5 though still:-)
