SALMONELLA DUB: Heal Me (Ltd Edition Bonus Edition)

Since the release of 2003's 'One Drop East' (their last album proper), Salmonella Dub have left us hanging - teasing us periodically with the odd remix album or rarity compilation. Now after four years, the wait is finally over - an album of all new Salmonella Dub material is here!

The 'Dub are pioneers of the NZ's healthy Live Roots/Dub scene, forming in Christchurch in 1992. 'Heal Me' is their sixth album and from opening track 'Watching It Rain' it's clear why these guys are still considered the leaders of pack, not only holding their own against some of these younger groups but showing the whipper-snappers a thing or two in the process!

'Heal Me' is the band's sixth album and is by far their most vocally lush to date. In fact it would be fair to call this their fully-fledged vocal album without lacking any of the rich texturing or Dub atmospherics of their earlier, more instrumental work. Fair not, those Salmonella Dub hallmarks we all know and love are still in full effect; big wide open spaces where horns and guitars dart back and forth and of course great big bottom-end!
