This has to be my choice for dub album of the year.
Heavy where it should be… plenty of meditational melodies… and the voice of Kirsty Rock! What more could a dubhead
ask for? If you loved the siren wail on "Great Gig in the Sky" from "Dub Side of the Moon",
then "Dub Power" will simply dub you c-r-a-z-y. And you can quote me on that.

I have seen the future of reggae, and it is Trumystic.
While of recent, dancehall has captured the attention of the masses, I can certainly foresee a time when the mainstream
discards it as a fad. In its place, an act like Trumystic seems to be a logical choice. Blending roots reggae with
dub, R&B, rock, and pop with a striking flair, this genre-splicing band seems poised to conquer the world… figuratively
speaking.

Trumystic's sound is an interesting combination of hard and dubwise-dreamy.
