The deep structure of reggae music then restructured tweaked and twiddled.
Birthing genre within genre.
The initial inception was the b side of a vinal record - stripped down and manipulated with special effects: echo, reverb, feed back, chorus and flange. Cross reference to the root of the a side with edited vocal insights and often quite a brash vocal contortion. At first promtted by economics constraints on studio time: rather than record a next song the remix was born.
This mutation grew into a much loved craft firstly honed by Jamaican mobile discoteques what is now known as sound systems and is still a thriving culture world wide.
Talking over B side instrumental recordings in free from lead to rehearsed vocal essays in all aspects of life from playful bragging to serious thoughts about anything.
Many people say they do not like reggae and can not see the object of non sung or half sung vocal expression let alone monotone metered dialog to the beat or off the beat. But this basic minimal musicality has birthed a much loved and hated vocal tradition many do it few master or understand the true essence of spoken intercourse.
Now with marketing terms like gangster rap and grime the old machine ghettoises and marginalises what should be considered one of the most ground breaking forms of linguistic discourse conveying a multi faceted massage of folk law and reason.
So many parallels for the dub it is proof of infinite sound scape.
