about

Roots Heavy is the first album I recorded as Burning Babylon. It was done back in 1999 over the course of a few months at my apartment in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts using the same Tascam 8-track cassette recorder that would later yield Burning Babylon’s second album, Garden of Dub.
Unlike that album’s dense and smokey feel, Roots Heavy has a comparatively lighter and more open sound. Perhaps a better way to describe it would be to say that the “absence” of sound played a bigger role. I made greater use of space on this album mainly because my arsenal of recording gear was in its infancy and, as such, I had minimal effects and sounds to work with.
