Nice one Cyril, nice one Sid. - By: Alastair Jones, 27 Dec 2002 Chilled summer music. Sit back & relax with some robust beats, bouncing vocals & nod-inducing piano. This album bounces along providing a perfect soundtrack to a sunny summers day. Helpful i the middle of winter you may say, but DCSM reminds you of summer days with an ice cold drinkin your hand.
The meandering rhythms & beats plant ideasin your head & they spiral out of control. DCSM is musical weed; just chilled, relaxed & a wonderful spectrum of dub. This album really spreads dub's wings, expanding its boundaries as a genre & creating new styles for future dubmeisters to work on. Vocals aren't necessary on every track, they simply accentuate the beat when used while the other tracks develop. A truly innovative album from Roots, proving he is one of the brightest talentsin the current British music scene. He ain't no one trick pony, Roots is versatile & creative & I look forward to more material from him.
Roots is back, well kind of - By: Chris Hayes, 20 Sep 2002 
Rather than release a new album, this is a collection of dubs & tracks that did not quite make it to the Run Come Save Me album. It is a mixed bag, tracks like 'Tears' & 'UK Warriors' are excellent but most of the dubs desperately need lyrics to back them up, The 'Witness' dubin particular just ain't the same without those ten pints of bitter to enjoy it with. I would describe this as a nice addition to Run Come Save Me & it does have a nice sound throughout, but buy this expecting the new classic from Roots & you will be very disapointed. Think of this as a stop gap while we wait for the true follow up...
WOW - By: , 16 Sep 2002 
Just because you already own Run come save me...does not let you off having to buy this masterpiece.
This album not only diversifies everything that you have known from the previous album butin doing so adds a great deal of listener satisfactionin identifying this.
Ultimately if you are only gonna buy one of the albums (run come ave me or dub come save me) then opt for run come save me...but anybody considering themselves a roots manuva fan or anybody with a decent bass setting on there stereo SHOULD BUY THIS.
Heavy Heavy Boom! - By: Tomska, 01 Aug 2002 Roots has spent a lot of time & effort ensuring that this collection of excellent tunes has the heaviest bass going. My neighbours can attest to this. The dub tunes here are dark, heavy, using loads of delay, straight from the Mad Professor school & are superbly cut. The new songs rock too & have been treated to the same level of bass-heavy mixing. Check the awesome Man Fi Cool ("I aint got no choice but to flex like a nutter"); Revolution 5 with Chali 2na which is better even than Join the Dots on Run Come Save Me; & my track of the album, UK Warriors, with the North London Dapper Dan himself, Skinnyman. I catually reckon this is a better offering than RCSM & has hardly been out of my CD player since I got it. Heavy, mate - Heavy, Heavy, BOOM!
