While Britain is currently short of great reggae bands, France boasts this powerhouse outfit from Saint-Etienne, who have learned plenty from Aswad and Steel Pulse and added their own flourishes of roots style. This fifth album is their most assured, full of brass-driven pieces such as Revolution and Paradise (a commentary on advertising's bogus world), mixing up ensemble vocals with ragga raps, all delivered in French, English and more. Il Faut Qu'On Ose dips into boulevard accordion, Foudagh into mid-eastern wails, while Enfants des Ghettos borrows African kora. The production is polished and for afters comes a spicy chunk of dub. The rootsman bites back. FOUR STARS --The Observer

The world s most successful reggae band in 2013... From the onset, Dub Inc has played a signature mélange of reggae with raï and other Algerian styles, modeled on the example of Gnawa Diffusion. As if their busy touring schedule wouldn t be enough, Dub Inc now presents Paradise. Their fifth studio album comes with the potential to take them to countries they haven t seen yet. A masterpiece. --Reggaeville.com
