Dazed and Daring June 19, 2008
I remember the first time I met someone else who also knew this album. That was about 20 years ago in France, and the bloke was a Punk bloke with the most extreme look and a pronounced taste for very hardcore music. For some reason he was at my place for a party and at some point I played this album. That certainly got his attention as he already knew and loved this album and we struck a lasting immediate friendship there and then.
I think this is the moct important thing about this album. It transcends the closed up Dub world to a larger experimental world of open minded people. The production is impeccable, and it certainly will twist your mind when you have smoked a few too many spliffs, but even now that I have not been smoking for so long I still love this album for how dazed and daring it is.
INTENSE DUB February 14, 2008
This dub album delivers all the quality sound affects and echoeing vocals that create a top class dub record.With the vocals of Michael Rose,Duckie Simpson and Puma Jones combined with the talented dub specialists Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare this is a making of a dub classic.
A must have for a dub inthusiast, Black Uhuru definitely deliver the goods in this well thought out early 80`s album.
Blow Those Speakers October 10, 2006

This is speaker shredding dub. This is dub taken into the 21st century, 17 years before the end of the 20th one. If you love dub, you'll already have this. If you're curious to find out what dub is all about, this is a good place to start. There's real imagination, real vision and real bass heavy frequencies here.
Nuclear meltdown - inna dub plate style! January 1, 2001
31 out of 32 found this review helpful
The Dub Factor is one of the hardest most astonishing dub albums ever to be released. Almost 2 decades ago Paul "Groucho" Smykle captured some of Uhurus's ruffest tracks from the early 80s, smuggled them into the top secret laboratories of The Fallout Shelter in London and remixed the hell out of them to create a powerful and disturbing apocalyptic journey into the deepest and darkest realms of heavyweight drum and bass. Along the way you will hear echoing into infinity the sharp, piercing, tribal tones of Michael Rose, fused with the amorphous, spectral harmonies of Puma Jones and Duckie Simpson, all of which interweaving ten ballistically turbo-charged riddims blasted onto your soundscape with uncompromising power by Sly Drum-bar and Robbie Bass-spear. Smykle went on to perfect his unusual mixing techniques on a later project entitled "A Dub Experience" for Sly & Robbie, an album which could be considered The Dub Factor Volume II since it continues in much the same futuristic vein - albeit without the stunning vocal dexterities of Uhuru which make this album so unique. An absolute MUST.
