SOULSEEKERS

There's a proverb: "When your mother and father forsake you, the Good Lord will take you". And it's true: our Creator loves us so much that He came down Himself to save us from the wickedness that we all see around us.

But unfortunately it is not only the Good Lord Who will take you. 

This world is full of Soulseekers: cult leaders and self proclaimed "pastors" who are waiting in line to deprive people from their freedom and even their Identity. They invite you to come to their complex, their "church" or "temple" or whatever and before you know it you're a prisoner.

So beware of soulseekers. They come to you with sleepy sounds that many confuse with "ambient" or "mystic". Especially when there is no foundation (drum and bass) to keep you awake, you might even end sleeping forever.

MIX 1: SOULSEEKERS (DUB)

The tempo is down, the instrumentation has lots of strings and even a choir is present. Usually, that is the kind of vibe that you hear in the temple of the cult leader. 

The difference is, that this track has a deep bass and a solid drums too. When they play and the DUB Mixing goes wild, the sleepy vibe turns into a wake up call.

i know a old proverb also that goes like this "Do not remove a fly from your friend's head with a hatchet"...it's not wise to condem people when this person you speak about say's "Do Not Judge" How many times will you judge yourself guilty in your mission to fame and glory?? 1 love means 1 love for all of creation, you have good music but your morals are all fucked up man, Bless instead of curse, give thanks and not the worst.

i find it very hard to believe you actually believe half the stuff you say, it all seem's very stage prop, like if dub music started in india you would call yourself messian buddah...Your Music is good, it's partially what inspired me to make dub music, along with everyone else that's ever inspired me to make music..But man, oh man,...when i think about your intentions behind your music and your idea's of other people's music who might think outside of your caveman mentality box then it really makes your good music start to sound bad and full of agenda's which are facist and dam near hitler like... dunno man, i wanted to write a review more kind to the music but this is what came out instead.. sorry man

Yes, David Pablo, that is true. Mikal the Jack Son, they come with "love love love" and they want your soul. And in Neverland, it's body and soul even.

I forgot to link to the cover, which will probably explain the tune a bit.

It is the well known western picture of the tower of babylon, with on top of it the faces of people like the founder of the "jehoviah witness" and a lot of other cults.

GFD, Why say sorry about your meditation. Because my "fucked up morals" are what drive me as well. How you see my "morals" , namely as "fucked up", is then how you see it.

And why not expressing it? Please, don't say sorry. I like to get critique, when it comes with argumentation and a willingness to reason then come mek we reason.

I do not know exactly what you mean by fucked up morals. But you point out to "all creation" that needs to get "one love" which then is a response to "at least half of what I write" and you seem to see some connection with my identity as a dreadlock and the buddah character.

So I guess that one particular aspect of my morals which you call fucked up may be related to the fact that I see Yesus Kristos as my Saviour.

Then you continue by stating something which I find quite interesting. What you describe namely, is exactly what I feel about so-called Reggae which is only hailing up George W. Bush and his antichrist babylon shitstem.

I think music that is hailing up George W. Bush's New World Order, music that therefore serves babylon shitstem and the WAR in Iraq, is not almost like hitler and fascist, it IS hitler and fascist.

Because you are talking about my comments in a discussion some visitor of my website started, because he critisized an artist on this website for bringing the war in Iraq as "freedom and justice".

You describe namely, that I have a "caveman mentality". Do you mean something like this?

"Christ alone is the Lord of my life. So when I listen to a reggae song that praises Rastafari, giving worship to Selassie, I get convicted. My spirit does not agree with this. I then have to ask myself this question: if Shadrach, and his brothers refused to bow to the false god when the music played, why would they then go out and buy a CD full of this same music and listen to it daily? They wouldn't!"

"But what about Christian Dub artists? Besides Christafari's one release (DUB Sound&Power) and the ever enigmatic Yabby You and Messian Dread, many have searched long and hard for a true Christian roots artist that is devoted to DUB 100% of the time. Search no longer: introducing Solomon Jabby, AKA "The Dub Revelator."

"I would ask: "Who is Christ to you?" "Who is Selassie to you?" and: "Do you smoke ganja?" How he answered those questions would determine whether or no I would label him a "gospel artist" and add him to our webstore."

That is the kind of stuff that I would call a caveman mentality.

That's saying to people to not buy Yabby You and Messian Dread because they are "enigmatic" and are of the wrong religion.

Why don't you tell the people who judge Yabby You and Messian Dread and try to set us up against another artist (solomon jabby) against his request socalled because we are socalled not socalled christian socalled enough?

Other principal applies there for you? One love for Solomon Jabby and One Love for Yabby You and Messian Dread?

Try promoting your music with your name on the forum of the ones who i just quoted. Go ahead! You can do it under the forum "other artists and advice", with the following description:

"So you want to be a Gospel Reggae Star? Here's the place to find friends, get advice and share your musical links with us."

It's also that cult mentality that I think is wrong.

These quotes are all old, by the way, and they are from someone I consider to be a cult leader. Or do you want to defend television preachers with "dreadlocks"?

MD, all i gotta say about it i already said, i respect the fact that you respect my rights, i could use a better choice of words then "fucked up"..but i think that i got my point across especially with a response like that. I'm not gonna sit here and turn your song into a huge debate platform, if you would ever like to have a Debate over Your Idea's and Vision of Rastafari for your Website then email with a list of Questions and i will answer them all & send them back with a few questions of my own..forward

Greetings, thanks to all for the feedback! The music is kind of slow, and there is a chird progression which is not my standard progression so to speak. The choir, which gets a dubwise treatement is ofcourse a bit making fun, too.

After all, I livicated this track to all those people who have managed to stay out of the soulseekers systems, and to those who have managed to emancipate themselves from mental slavery.

It's a long story, Ras, and it boils down the fact I wrote a book about an organization which wasn't so happy with that. http://crc.dubroom.org/christafari.htm
