Released in 1978, the album "Planet Mars Dub" serves as the dub companion to "Planet Earth" by the renowned reggae harmony group Mighty Diamonds, who were credited simply as The Diamonds. Recorded with the studio collective Icebreakers and engineered by Karl Pitterson at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas, the album reflects a relaxed environment that contrasted with the political turbulence of Kingston. The record is characterized by an anomalous sound that successfully merges adventurous dub techniques with a smooth, polished production style. While this sonic juxtaposition complements the lighthearted love songs, it proves less effective on the more militant Rastafarian tracks. The release is highly recommended for fans of the group's broader discography.
