Police In Dub: Re-synchronised By Rob Smith Aka R

In the late seventies, THE POLICE were the biggest band in Britain; by the early eighties they ruled the globe as a three-headed, bleached-blond monster of rock. Surfing a new wave sound which valued intellectual cool and lightly sprinkled ethnic influences over the discredited rocknroll bluster of old. The first post-punk supergroup. A constructive arrogance and a very lucky streak.!!! At the end of 1977, over the Christmas period, Stewart Copeland played Sting some of his reggae records. When Summers returned to Britain from his vacation in America, he found his band mates newly inspired by Jamaican sounds. The rest we all know is history.! Its 23 years later - in 2008 - . and everybody knows whats going on with The Police: they reformed and went back out on tour. Another key event - also 23 years later - is the release of a project which had been simmering for quite some time: The Police in Dub. Also released in 2008. One of the international bestsellers of the Echo Beach label, "The Police In Dub" included dub versions of the Polices biggest tunes. Another 6 years later Rob Smith took the original "Police In Dub" material for an overhaul. Smith is also known as RSD or better known as a producer from Bristol (he is a synonymous with progressive modern dancefloor-oriented reggae in all shapes and facets: dubstep, jungle dub, roots dub and drumnass) who produced the first Massive Attack EP, early Neneh Cherry material and also and his own house band, SMITH & MIGHTY). He also remixed tons of pop tracks like M People, Beats International, Fine Young Canibals etc. Rob Smith is renowned for imaginative production and made his master at re-synchronsation on the POLICE IN Dub material. He focused in a very sensitive way to rework, restyle and synchronize the original material
