	King Tubby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Tubby (born Osbourne Ruddock, January 28, 1941 – February 6, 1989) was a Jamaican electronics and sound engineer, known primarily for his influence on the development of dub in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Tubby's innovative studio work, which saw him elevate the role of record producer to a creative height previously only reserved for composers and musicians, would prove to be highly influential across many genres of popular music.
		Tubby built on his considerable knowledge of electronics to repair, adapt and design his own studio equipment, which made use of a combination of old devices and new technologies to produce a studio capable of the precise, atmospheric sounds which would become Tubby's trademark.

		King Tubby has a great name in dub, but this album is not his best.
		This, of course, points out the limitations of even the great King Tubby: You can throw in all the audio effects you want and mix the hell out of a song, but if you don't like the original product, chances are you won't care for the dub.
		Although I'm no King Tubby expert, I get the sense that his genius came as much from his inventiveness -- he essentially created the dub sub-genre with now-common techniques -- as his ability to craft great music.

	New Haven Advocate: King Tubby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		King Tubby is one of the seminal figures in dub.
		Like a Jamaican John Cage, King Tubby's music shows just how dramatic silence is, but he also used the rhythmic momentum of the music to carry over through the gaps--the pulse is implicit and you keep feeling it, even when nothing's there.
		Since most of the material was recorded on a four-track--typically with guitar, piano and organ on one track; bass, drums and percussion on a second; voice on the third and overdubs and horns on the fourth--Tubby had little to work with, but he made the most of it.
