Dub...

Grace Jones 'Hurricane'

Grace Jones will re-release her 2008 album Hurricane on September 5th, with a bonus disc of dub versions. There will be a vinyl release as well. Now, how about releasing remasters of some of her early albums as well?? Especially considering that Fame has only been released on CD once (back in 1993 in Germany, almost impossible to find today), and Muse has never been released at all!







The Hurricane/Dub artwork was made in collaboration with Jones's longtime creative partner Jean-Paul Goude and features the singer wearing a Philip Treacy hat. The dubs are produced by Ivor Guest.

Jones previously claimed that she turned down an offer to record with Lady Gaga, as she would rather work with someone who is "more original".

Tracklist:


DISC 1:
1. This Is
2. Williams Blood
3. Corporate Cannibal
4. I'm Crying (Mother's Tears)
5. Well Well Well
6. Hurricane
7. Love You To Life
8. Sunset Sunrise
9. Devil In My Life

DISC 2:
1. This Is Dub
2. Williams Dub
3. Cannibal Dub
4. Love You To Life
5. Crying Dub
6. Sunset Sunrise
7. Love You To Life Dub
8. Devil In My Life
9. Devil Dub
10. This Is Dub

I am always uneasy about "dub" versions - hours of bass notes and one phrase from the song repeated with reverb never quite appeals, really... Have you heard any of it yet? I do love that cover pic, however - I want that hat!! Jx

valio said...

Thank u for the answer Barbarella :))) I look forward to buy it.

I havent heard any of the dub versions yet Jon. I believe these versions are all especially created for this release, so it will be more like a "dub album" rather then a collection of dub versions.

I want that hat too!!!
