Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae is a studio album released by Mad Professor with Lee "Scratch" Perry, released in 1996.[4][5]

Critical reception

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch stated: "Mad Professor makes a fun farrago of Perry's vocals by compressing them, varying their speed, and echoing them in cascades toward the horizon as the drums and bass maintain militancy."[6]

AllMusic wrote that "as insane as Perry normally sounds, being awash in the psychedelic soundwaves of dub suits his raving-madman vocal style even more perfectly."[2]
