i'm not going to debate the best dub album, but 'scientist encounters pac-man' is straight fire. all of his curiously titled albums from his early 80's assembly line period are great. 'scientist rids the world of the evil curse of vampires' will always have my heart because of its awesome cover image and the incorporation of actual halloween-type sounds and voices in the music, missing from 'strike back', 'world cup', etc.

Cliff Huxtable is right, Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Vampire curse is the best dub album ever made.

i love roots + dub, love scientist. however, i disagree that the best dub album is this Pac Man you speak of. i & i represent for Mad Professor's dub of Protection, No Protection. i love the holy dub trinity but No Protection represents the dub genre at it's highest form.

Cosby, you are so wrong about Wins The World Cup, that album is gorgeous + full of vocal snippets from Johnny Osbourne, Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett.

@3:
i meant 'rids the world' is the only early 80s scientist album that has a sonic link to its theme. 'world cup' is an outstanding album, but it doesn't have any footballing chants or ball kicking sounds or anything, that's what i meant. 'rids the world' is the only album that has any real link to the vague album titles ('big showdown at king tubby's' arguably has its opening boxing montage).

thanks for the clarification Cosby. glad i didn't have to chant down cosby babylon.

Scientist + Jammy Big Showdown is awesome. Any combination of Roots Radics + Junjo + Scientist between 1980-1982/3 is worth hearing.

Wow Cosby,
I finally agree with you on something.
