His early love of electronics proved fruitful when (still a teenager) he was hired at King Tubby's studio in Kingston. Brown quickly ascended the ranks and became heir to Tubby's throne, producing imaginative and technically impressive mixes that solidified his forward-looking nickname.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing \u003cem\u003eScientist - The Best Dub Album In The World\u003c\/em\u003e, his 1980 debut LP, lives up to its boastful title. Recorded with Sly and Robbie at Channel One Studio and mixed at King Tubby's, the album features hypnotic basslines, reverb-drenched keyboards, and fluid, start-stop rhythms. Opening track \"Steppers,\" with its well-balanced phrasing and organic contours, shows Scientist's mastery of the studio-as-instrument concept. On \"Scientific,\" the effects-laden guitars are stretched to their outer limit to create magnificent, spaced-out textures and muted tension. Introducing Scientist displays the talents of a man obsessed with every element of production, drawing out the very best of the dub form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Superior Viaduct","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":53410299806027,"sku":"R3300-8556","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0857176003690.webp?v=1758186924","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/scientist-the-best-dub-album-in-the-world","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
