Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from September 5, 2024 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

one of those cases where i can't decide if it's harmonica or melodica actually. you can usually make definitive call

idk..but the melody i suppose could have been musette

i think melodica, with a richer tone than the harmonica

↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:25
yeah i think so, really sounds like harmonica when it hits those high notes but the rest is more conclusively melodica-sounding
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 9:27pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

↳ coelacanth∅ @9:26
Less metallic than Harmonica. & the notes have different articulation with the keys...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:27pm
coelacanth∅:

could conceivably be a harmonica processed in a certain way!
(but i think it's melodica)

yes an it would have taken immense manual dexterity to pull that off on harmonica

melodica makes more practical sense

Sometimes dub frustrates me. They'll tease some really melodic guitar and then drop it for the bass n drum. And I'm all "but, but, but that guitar!"

Yes articulation with keys as I said. It was pleasantly precise playing.

Generally find the arrangements & mixes on what DJ FlashStrap chooses utterly beguiling.
Did see TheRoots once - & could not fathom why the Gittarist even bothered playing the same two notes over & over. My white Rawkist mentality probly.

he’s fun. contemporary LA reggae dude , really captures vintage dub sounds on his studio releases. that scientist track reminded me of him.

It's not the lack of guitar so much as the potential for a really sweet song being shown to us then passed over for something else. Is that something else valid and good, yes. But it pulled me out of dub mode into reggae mode then put me back. My switch is sticky.

in my earliest days of exploring reggae i went to a store in elizabeth nj had 5-6" worth in the reggae section. most were $8 which was about the highest an album ever cost back then, and i didn't want to spend that much on something i knew nothing about. so i bought 2-3 records that were a few dollars less. one was LKJ in DUB. i enjoyed it, but i'd never heard of Linton Kwesi Johnson before... what a revelation a couple years later when i finally heard his regular tracks -the non-dub releases.

YES! ...but then (and actually, a little earlier) i also heard garvey's ghost first. my first dub - never heard of dub.man that changed my world in a big way! i still consider it one of reggae's Greatest masterpieces.
...then when i heard the marcus garvey album i was disappointed. -so, the opposite of my LKJ experience!
