      Originally formed as Gregory Isaacs' backing band, Roots Radics also accompanied Yellowman, Sugar Minott, Frankie Paul and Bunny Wailer, and laid down some of Adrian Sherwood's best dub tracks. With Style Scott on drums, Flabba Holt on bass, Earl Fitzsimmons on keyboards and Bingy Bunny and Dwight Pickney on guitars, they were one of Jamaica's finest "one drop" bands. This dub version of their Hot We Hot album, originally released in 1989, kicks off with the Latin guitar of the eight-minute joyride "How Could I Dub?," one of two bonus tracks added for the CD version. Other cuts are more typical dub instrumentals, with the usual crashes and echoes. But the playing is solid throughout, and the digital remastering has pumped up the bass, so dub fans will not be disappointed. --Judson Kilpatrick
