Manasseh's best stuff is the collaborations with Equalizer and the always excellent Gil Cang. When Jonkanoo Jones started his 'Roots Garden' label i was keen to hear the new Manasseh productions, alas after a few releases i realized "oh, it was always The Equalizer and Gil Cang who made those 90s Manasseh records good... " , i have nothing against Manasseh, he seems devoid of the narcissism and pseudery that handicaps Jonkanoo Jones... i was keen to hear Manasseh's mixes of Soothsayers and i bought that album, only to find that only the Reggae tunes got a full Dub mix, all the Jazz-funk/afrobeat tunes he mixed by Soothsayers petered out and faded out after 2 minutes, a real shame...
Great tune! It would be really nice to see a vinyl release of Pharoah's Dub from the Manasseh - Dub Plate Style 1990-1999 CD
Classic track, still got the LP ^^ It started the Stepper Dub wave afaik. Didn't know the dub v tho. Thx !!
