more reggae old timers from JA taking sensible precautions

mad professor originates from Guyana, maybe that explains his opposition to the stance taken by the JA crew?

I've not heard the Mad Professor album ( the dub me crazy series goes downhill after vol 10 ) so can't comment on the music, but the first track is titled "fake news dub"... whereas the Jammy, although rehashes of old tunes ( side 1 is late 70s dubs, side 2 is versions of his 87 -89 digital productions ) has titles like "Dub Tribute to all hospital workers"and 'dub fi social distance", so Jammy wins out in my book

The Bug is another one.

It feels very '90s to me. Ccru and that lot.

But then there was "language is a virus", which was from Burroughs I think - and feels more like an '80s / Industrial Culture Handbook / RESearch magazine type concept.
Kevin Martin’s Macro Dub Infection sleeve notes combine all this -


Dub has evolved into a mutant virus. Its amoral corruption effects all musical forms it digests. Addicted to change, Dub has ignored the rule world by cutting out all territorial claims. As a technological agent of transformation, its core identity remains compellingly elusive, leaving only rarefied traces of its mysterious past.

Word virus from Burroughs is definitely the start no doubt. Literally all of these people have come to him, most likely via throbbing gristle.
