Continuing the vein of the mellow and gentle dub of his previous album, Mal's second album ''Primal Dub 2'' has evolved into an even more sophisticated new realm of dub. A masterpiece that refines the elements of reggae, lovers rock, and dancehall into an everyday soundtrack using the dub method.
................................
MaL's second solo album, ''Primal Dub 2,'' continues the vein of his previous album, ''Primal Dub,'' which featured mellow and gentle dub, but also takes his more sophisticated dub to new heights, evolving in a way that will attract more music lovers.
MaL's first solo album, ''Primal Dub,'' was released in 2022 on Hoodish Recordings, and was produced during MaL's hospitalization due to an accident. Although it is an instrumental album, it reached No. 1 on the iTunes reggae chart and received positive reviews from all quarters.
The long-awaited sequel, ''Primal Dub 2,'' will finally be available on vinyl as part of Record Store Day 2025. One of the highlights of MaL's second solo album is the participation of his second daughter on alto sax and voice. The concept of incorporating elements of reggae, lovers rock, and dancehall into the soundtrack of everyday life through the dub technique is carried over from his previous album, but the sound has evolved even further. As with the previous album, the cover art is by Best Match Corner, who continues to light up the Tokyo underground scene.

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
