Album Notes

The Culver City Dub Collective produced by Franchot Tone and Adam Topol features some of the funkiest dub musicians this side of Kingston, a collective including many of the most talented musicians in LA.

The record came about after Adam Topol decided he wanted to make a record in the dub style reminiscent of the early records produced by King Tubby and Lee "Scratch"Perry.
Adam recruited his buddy Franchot and they booked several months at LA's Crash Test Studios to record the tracks. Having layed down the basic tracks they needed some extra talent to complete the project.

The record features the following ALL-STAR line-up of players:
Adam Topol- Drums and Percussion
Franchot Tone- Guitars
David Ralicke- Trombone
Merlo- Sub-bass
Chris Joyner- Keyboards
David Urquidi- Saxophone and Flute
Wil-Dog- Bass
Eric Avery- Bass
Scott Wardinsky- percussion

Although you probably won't see this collection of extraordinary players on stage at the same time you may catch many of the individuals on tour with the following bands: Jack Johnson, Ozomatli, Beck, Poncho Sanchez, Alannis Morrisette and others.

The album was mixed and mastered by Engineer Extraordinaire, Robert Carranza. Robert is best known for his work with The Beastie Boys and Los Lobos.

Several tunes from this amazing line-up will be featured in the next big surf film from The Malloy's and Jack Johnson entitled "A Broke Down Melody" Look for it in theatres October 2004.

What a find....

What a great album. I only recently discovered Adam Topol, when I got all the Jack Johnson CD's at the end of 2007, and immediately dug his playing. As a fellow drummer, his playing is exactly the kind of stuff I like to hear, and try like hell to play myself. So I did a little searching on the 'net and found the other albums that Adam has played on. The grooves that he and the band come out with on here are just superb. real good, laid back honest to goodness funky stuff. I'm quite new to the dub scene, but I have a broad knowledge of most other music and was not left wanting on any level. The only bummer is that there's only 5 tracks. But what a killer 5 tracks they are. Anybody who likes there music groovy and soulful, or any drummer who's worth their salt, buy this album without a second thought. You will not be disappointed.

Having heard this Kalx radio, I had high expectations and was not let down by the music. Unfortuately it is too short in lenght, I was hoping to hear at least 40 minutes of music and was let down!!!

I had high expectations for this cd knowing it is coming from Adam Topol and it is nothing short of amazing. The infectious groove perfectly captures the soulful passages of classic reggae dub complications. A great listen!
