Pure Thrillseekers

Gut.

This Dub Syndicate creation, Pure Thrill Seekers, features exhilarating mixes by On-U Sound collaborator Adrian Sherwood and by Scientist. On Pure Thrill Seekers, Dub Syndicate outdoes themselves with a higher-than-usual number of vocal performances by the likes of such reggae super-stars as Luciano, Junior Reid, Gregory Isaacs and Capleton, among others.

Pure Thrill Seekers, the creation of Roots Radics drummer Style Scott in association with Adrian Sherwood, presents a diverse array of Dub Syndicate tracks, including their trademark heavy dubs, re-mixed vocal tracks, dee-jay tracks and instrumental versions. The opening track, "One In A Billion," features a transcendent vocal by Luciano that is made even more affecting by an echo-heavy mix. Gregory Isaacs delivers a hard-hitting tale of ghetto reality over a kicking rhythm on "Kingston 14" while current top-ranking DJ Capleton offers a typically wild and intense rap on "Time."

Pure Thill Seekers also showcases such new artists as Jah Bless (on the rock-hard "Guns And Cocaine," Moses (on "Ready For The World" and Little David (first presented on Fear Of A Green Planet.) A special highlight is a dub mix of Gregory Isaacs’ "Private Secretary," the follow-up hit to his "Night Nurse" classic.
