Patience Dub [Length: 3:59 Tempo: 64/128bpm Key: A minor ] One of the headiest and most signature Black Ark style dub tracks, Subatomic Sound System reinvents the music with a horn section mixed up front in what sounds like a classic hip hop track sample you might think comes from a deep Isley Brother cut. Emch flips the beats and bass as the song progresses to go from an old school reggae meditation to a full tilt 4 on the floor steppers beat with wobbling basslines to create a throbbing sound system dub. Meanwhile Scratch adds free form vocals to what had been an instrumental on the original album, extolling the virtue of patience, evoking almost David Lynchian images of a “black river alligator killer”, and essentially dabbing on his past Jamaican rivals like Coxsone, Tubby, and The Skatalites who are dead, gone, or stagnant while he continues to conquer.
