Notes
--------
Just so there aren't any misunderstandings: Umberto Eco is, as we
all know, an Italian author, professor, hermeneutics expert and
polymath, who on the basis of his creative output seems to have
at least four arms and two brains. Umberto Echo, and this is a
fact perhaps only the cognoscenti of reggae, jazz and dub music
will know, is a (music) author, professor, expert in (sound)
hermeneutics and multi-instrumentalist from Munich who also has
two brains and at least eight arms! Or so it seems when you watch
his hands skimming across the mixing desk, transforming the
musical raw material of a riddim into dub live on stage, FOH or
in the studio.

After collaborating as producer, engineer and musician on over 80
albums, ranging from rock to classical & jazz through to reggae;
writing Bavarian reggae history along the way with Jahcoustix,
Jamaram and Headcornerstone, and producing for a swathe of
international reggae vocalists, including Alborosie, Junior
Kelly, Luciano and Luton Fyah, Professor Echo finally revealed
his true identity two years ago by getting on the Dub Train - his
debut album as sound scientist of the digital echo chambers and
analogue loops, disciple of Duke Ellington and King Tubby.
Released on the prestigious jazz label enjarecords and shaped by
Umberto Echo's immense instrumental and production skills, the
album explained in very few words where the man came from. The
successor to this debut, which is released on Echo Beach, is Dub
The World and it shows him as a sound manipulator whose virtuoso
control of mixing desk, software and outboards is equalled only
by his mastery of keyboards, guitar, bass and percussion. The new
album maps where the Dub Train journey took him. While Umberto
Eco attempts to explain the world in his books, monographs and
essays, there's only one way for Umberto Echo: to dub the world.

Dub The World, his exciting set for Echo Beach, features 15
versions of dub, roots and dancehall tunes from 13 countries! The
album was mixed at top notch Studios in Berlin (Dorian Gray)
Munich (Magus & Fool Studio) and New York (The Maids Room &
Strange Weather Studio Brooklyn), resulting in a clear, wide
sound on this journey through HiFi dub. The opener comes courtesy
of the Original Germaican Gentleman with "Dem Gone". The Riddim
Twins Sly & Robbie, performing here with the Polish band
Rastasize, are featured, as are the veterans from Steel Pulse in
combination with Damian Marley. Another act from the Motherland
is Oneness feat. Buju Banton & Naptali, with "Rise up!". The UK
answers with the Stereo MCs and Up, Bustle & Out from Bristol.
The vibes from Katchafire (New Zealand) come from furthest
afield, followed by the Australians The Red Eyes and Jiang Liang
from China. Cultura Profetica represent Puerto Rico, Dub Inc.
(F), Dub Spencer & Trance Hill (CH) and the Austrians from
Dubblestandard (again with Lee "Scratch" Perry!) allow Umberto
Echo to pump up their Eurodubs ,while German band Seeed are
featured with one of their classic tracks, "Aufstehn".

Dub The World quietly manifests itself as 2 CDs in one: on one
hand, an exclusive dubset by one of the great, mysterious men in
the background, and on the other an outernational dub conference
which again emphasises the power of Marley's universal
integration message combined with King Tubby's sonic innovation.
One Love Dubwise International - from roots to futuristic, from
jam-rocking to ethnodelic, from Brooklyn to Sydney over Kreuzberg
to Kingston and back. Or, as we sounbwoys, say: Rewind!

enjoy!!!
