I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Dub Echoes tells the story about the come up of reggae and how the dub techniques still echoes through all sorts of music genres. The introduction already shows that a lot of music-legends are involved: Thievery Corporation, Basement Jaxx, Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, King Tubby, Beat Junkies, Kode 9, Roots Manuva and many others.As a documentary, Dub Echoes might not be the most entertaining you will ever see. It's mostly interviews, luckily the interviewed are all influential people in the world of music. Some of the interviewed talk kind of slow (probably stoned?). I guess you got to be interested in dub/reggae or at least in making music.Anyhow the musically not-knowing people must be educated, so show 'em this documentary. Because instrumentals, remixes, mixed tapes and block parties are all founded by the dub music scene.
