Browne, better known as The Scientist has been credited as being the one
engineer to bring dub music to the forefront of both reggae and popular
music since he began releasing complete dub albums for the Greensleeves
label in the early 1980’s. As a young protégé of producer/engineer
King Tubby, The Scientist cut his teeth working for Tubby and learning
electronics so he could repair studio consoles or any other electronical
device which needed work.
After much time in and around various recording studios in Jamaica,The Scientist began recording many artists and when he mixed dubs, people just went crazy to hear this new sound he had created. It was almost as if he played the mixing board as a whole new instrument and he was now making a whole new song. People were so fascinated by his creations that they began to release complete albums with his name and likeness on the cover. And his fame spread as people became exposed to this new spacey form of music called dub.
From the first recording ever made by RAS, Doctor Dread and The Scientist have been involved in making music together and The Scientist has been involved in many exciting projects for RAS, always creating exciting dubs along the way. This Portraits collection, for the first time, compiles these historical dubs along with three new tracks provided by The Scientist for a tour de force dub guaranteed to infect you with the dub experience.
With major service to college reggae radio and print ads, this is a dub collection that will be getting lots of attention. And a great treat for The Scientist and dub fans the world over.
