THIS IS UNREAL. And back in 1986!!!!



I remember hearing Give me your Love in the early 90's...And being Blown away!!!




What do you think? Who else is feelin' it?????

rob smith innit

I've only recently discovered smith & mighty thanks to the unearthed 12"
can't believe I've been missing out on this great stuff for all these years!

I've been a fan since early 90's. I'm OLD! late 30's. It was them & Massive Attack that transformed bass heavy music for me. Then Hardcore to Jungle to Drum & Bass to UK Garage to Broken Beat to Dubstep & UK Funky. Smith & Mighty were originators!!!!

Here's a Dub influenced Garage track they did in 2002. Or early Dubstep tune along El B, Zed Bias, Horsepower Prod., & Stereotyp & Tikiman (People always forget about dem). AMAZING TUNE!!!

B-line Fi Blow

Bi line fi blow is one the best early dubstep tunes for real, love it!

top stuff !

Top draw stuff, that's smith & mighty for ya =]

Respect, it's good to see people recognising the roots of this music and appreciating the pioneers... you give me faith in fans again!
smith and mighty are truely great, and a lot of FSOL stuff has elements that can be found in dubstep too

love this one too

Dont forget More Rockers

Heh, quality. Really enjoyed both those tracks.

Smith & Mighty friggin rule.

Those albums are superb.

EVERYONE on the forum should own a copy of Bass Is Maternal end of story.

A shame Smith & Mighty didn't sell more records........I mean their albums kicked Massive Attack's ass.

wow!

big up bristol baaaaaaaaaaassss... havent they always been getting the recognition they deserve though.?

RSD is a pure gentleman of the dub, badman producer and top guy! x

excellent find, thanks for posting that up I'd never heard that one before... came out about 13 years before what I previously thought their first dubstep tune was, which would be Move You Run from Big World, Small World. Also a friggin great album with lots of deep dub & bass.

S&M just weren't as commercially digestible or radio-friendly as Massive Attack -- their tracks don't really have the playability of something like Unfinished Sympathy. However, they are probably a stronger creative influence on me for the weird, bad sounds they manage to join together.

So much of r.smiths output is amazing, been litening to his Jaz Klash and more rockers stuff aswell as smith and mighty ....bloody hell its good.

Lovely tunes, can still hear a VERY similar sound in RSD productions too this day!

Smith & Mighty/More Rockers were easily the best out Bristol to me, but from what I've heard they had label/distribution problems. Was lucky enough to discover their music in 97. Shame that the type of D&B they were making never got much look from anyone within D&B especially by the likes of Bryan Gee/V seeing as V was pretty much a label for Bristol and Dillinja and Lemon's tunes. Big World Small World, Bass is Maternal is more Dubstep than actual Dubstep, and Selection 2 is still one of my favorite D&B albums.
