Product Description
Dos, the debut full-length album from the Culver City Dub Collective, unites an all-star cast in a captivating blend of Jamaican roots reggae, Afro-Cuban rhythms and West Coast bossa beats. It s an intoxicating breeze that rattles the brain in all the right places, a simmering soundtrack to a thousand road trips and hazy summer afternoons. Released by Los Angeles-based Everloving Records (Cornelius, Metric, Inara George), Dos represents a truly collective approach to music making. The album features stunning appearances from such luminaries as Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Money Mark, Studio One vocalist Winston Jarret, and Bedouin Soundclash singer Jay Malinowski. Despite the group s amorphous nature, the Culver City Dub Collective (CCDC) is ultimately assembled, produced and creatively grounded by two individuals: drummer/songwriter Adam Topol and guitarist/engineer Franchot Tone. The result is Dos, an impeccable studio album that refl ects the eclectic nature of the players. Joey Altruda s upbeat remix of The Cave and the melodic reggae of Lel s Sweet Inspiration Dub soon give way to the haunting Waltz for Tomahawk, an exploration of the Gil Evans big band sound. On Eloise (Baghdad Remix), Ben Harper s snake charmer guitar coaxes the melody out of the sonic basket, while Jack Johnson contributes an infectious, radio-ready vocal take to Crying Shame. And Big Long Gun, featuring Winston Jarret, is just a curried-goat-and-Red-Stripe away from the dusty streets of Kingston.

a great variety September 21, 2007
KERRY LAPREES
After hearing about CCDC on NPR and then checking out their MySpace page, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. The variety of the album - from reggae inspired "Long Gun" to the politically motivated "Crying Shame" - coupled with the pervasive strong rhythms, make for a highly enjoyable CD.
Worth the wait! September 17, 2007
SmarteCookie (New York, NY)
The first album was fantastic, an instant favorite - and the second album was well worth the wait. These guys are awesome! Check out the interview on NPR for the background info.
