Crucial Scientist

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is from Scientist.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Scientist.

Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him, and features three key tracks. This week it's 'Scientist Meets the Space Invaders' released by Scientist in 1981

Don says, "A prot茅g茅 of King Tubby, Scientist's dub releases on the Greensleeves label ruled the early 80s. Besides his 'scientific' approach to the mixing desk, he'd use familiar riddims by the likes of Wayne Wade and Johnny Osbourne to showcase his very individual approach to the art of dubology - and the Tony McDermott album artwork is a classic too!".
