Dub Arcanum Arcandum is a remix album that draws on tracks from Method of Defiance’s first two albums, Jahbulon and Incunabula. Guest producers include Subcode, Prefuse 73, Mad Professor, and even the legendary Scientist — and there are mixes by bandleader Bill Laswell and vocalist Dr. Israel as well. Despite the title, much of this doesn’t sound like traditional dubwise reggae; the different mixers all have distinct musical visions, making this collection a highly colorful kaleidoscope of styles and sounds.
