DUB SURGEON : THE LOST FUTURE [Ark To Ashes]
Catalogue : Ark To Ashes / ARK006LP Format : 2LP, Limited Condition : New Country : United Arab Emirates Released : 2018 Genre : Dub, Reggae Over 25 years ago, the artist known as Dub Surgeon crafted an album entitled “The Lost Future”. The Lost Future was recorded at the former Amsterdam Film Academy led by the recording engineer Ricardo Villalobos. Together, Dub Surgeon and Ricardo Villalobos mastered the album, putting it through several vintage mixers and recording it to a two inch tape. On one frightful night, a storm ignited a fire at the studio and the master copy was thought to have been lost forever. Shortly after the fire, it appeared that Dub Surgeon had faded into the shadows. 15 years later, he received a demo of “The Lost Future”, which brought his music back to him after all these years. Resembling the very essence of the Ark to Ashes label and it’s homage to Lee “Scratch” Perry burning his own Black Art Studio to rid of his demons, “The Lost Future” is finally home.
