For those of you out there who might be interested in such things, this is my stream of conciousness recollection of how the "roots dub" CD came about, shedding some light on the process of the creation of the music you hear....

Naturally, the music that a musician likes to listen to influences the music they create. Essentially I decided not to just let my interest (some might say obsession) in dub influence my next project, but actually create my very own full-on dub album! My increasingly dub style of mixing is in evidence on the Perfume Tree CD's released on Zulu Records when I was in the band ("dust" (1992), "remote" (1993), and "the suns running out" (1994)). Although the music only has the slightest reggae influence musically, my main concern during mixdowns was to keep them full of changing echoes, reverbs, EQ sweeps, and things abruptly dropping in and out (thanks for putting up with me Pete and Jane!).

I also played bass in the band, and we recorded and mixed down in my studio. It's great t
