Reggae music has a couple that are worth noting - one of the best and in my opinion one of the wickedest dub tracks ever recorded - Peter Tosh's Dracula which was the B-Side to the single for his better known recording Vampire from the No Nuclear War album. Great bass line and plenty of SFX of screaming women, chains rattling and Bunny Wailer providing some eardrum shattering "monster sounds" near the top of the track. Second, in 1979 a Jamaican DJ (rapper) who went by the name Lone Ranger recorded this album... It features such songs as Barnabas Collins, Hell Driver, Frankenstein, U.F.O., etc. I don't know if he was going through a monster stage in his career or what because he never recorded any other "horroresque" songs afterwards. Two years later the DJ Yellowman recorded a song called Me Kill Barnie that answered Lone Ranger's Barnabas Collins. Where Lone Ranger said, "Barnie is the best inna the business, Barnie chew your neck like Wrigley's." Yellowman said, "Turn off the light, lock your door tight, me and Barnabas have to fight tonight." Good stuff! If anyone likes reggae music or is just curious to hear let me know.
