 But
theres a dub version of the album too..
Dub kinda lost its appeal to me I wasn't
interested in making Dub, there is a dub to
'Original Version' 'Jazzbo T At The Controls.
Which is Roger Dalke using the Cool Edit program
to dub up the tracks. Once again its very minimal,
but I like it a lot.
While many of the sounds on "Original
Version" are quite electronic it doesn't
sound nearly as rigid or programmed to the extent
of other digital reggae...
 'Original
Version' was recorded live, it's not a midi album.
Only a drum machine program. So the drums were put
on one track, then the bass, and then the organ
and piano/clavinet.
It's very difficult to get the kind of drum
sound I wanted, but it had the right feel.
You have spoken about the importance of Version
to your work: more specifically who were some of
your musical influences at this point?
 Firstly
Andy Capp: 'Pop A Top' and 'The Law' are the
blueprints for all of what I have done. I would
love to talk to Andy Capp about version Herman
Chin Loy is another person who understands the
concept of Version, and so of course does Lee
Perry.
Cheers Ray!
