There's a dub tune I'm really "encantada" with called "Rainbow Dub" by Williams Traffic. The track itself is kinda cool, but I think it should have been mixed a little better (some of the levels are a little uneven.) The *cool* part is the vocal by James Earl Jones (Darth Vader's voice.) I was wondering where the poem he reads is from, turns out it's a South African poem:
"Where the Rainbow Ends" - Richard Rive
Where the rainbow ends there's going to be a place, brother, Where the world can sing all sorts of songs, And we're going to sing together, brother, you and I, though you're white and i'm not.
It's going to be a sad song, brother, because we don't know the tune, And it's a difficult tune to learn. But we can learn, brother, you and I. There's no such tune as a black tune. There's no such tune as a white tune. There's only music, brother, and it's music we're going to sing Where the rainbow ends.

Kinda powerful, isn't it?
Anyway, I'd like to find the original reading by Mr. Jones. I'm still planning on getting a digital version of the dub track--I used to have it on vinyl. A link for listening (don't buy it here--it's the evil AMAZON): http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Dub-Infusions-Various-Artists/dp/B000060K0D
Here's a link to where you SHOULD get your copy (digital/cd): http://www.sonarkollektiv.com/releases/SBCD0002/ (The graphic is the Album Cover.)
Maybe I'll give "Rainbow" a T-Bird "re-touch." ;)
Speaking of "re-touches" I've got a couple I've done recently that I'm pretty happy with: Zed Bias' "Boomerang" (for a remix contest) and Los Mono's "Promesas" (muchas gracias a Erik@Giant Step y Zen @ Sonic360!) Hopefully one of those will get artist approval... Regardless, I've got to put them in some mix online...
