Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Tony McDermott cover arouses welcome memories of albums by Scientist and Mad Professor, entirely apt for this dub reconstruction of selected titles from the Roots Manuva catalogue.
The mixmaster WrongTom is offered the entire Manuva oeuvre to play with, a job he undertook with the cute idea of imagining how each tune might have been treated in a previous era. Hence "Juggle Tings Proper" becomes the electro-dub "Proper Tings Juggled", while "Motion 5000" is transformed into the roots-reggae groove "Motion 82" and "Buff Nuff" becomes the spare digi-dub "Rebuff". But for all the musical invention involved, the most welcome aspect of the project is the way it throws attention back on Manuva's wordplay, highlighting his innovative skills as a toaster.
