If this isn't the actual best album of the year it's damned close. A perfect mix of ragga, dance and dancehall. It's dark and gritty yet somehow has an uplifting feel to it. The sound of the UK today? Well certainly the sound of much of urban UK.
This is what British music should be about the heady mix of styles that create something special rather than endless Radiohead wanabees. You get the feeling that groundbreaking music is being made here. There is a Leftfield / Prodigy feel to it but it would be wrong to entirely link it - it' special because it is different.

This is the sound of the 21st century. This is the sound of globalisation (and proof that that needn't necessarily be a dirty word!) This is the sound you'll want to hear again and again and again. If you like your music safe and formulaic, steer clear of this. But if you want to hear something fresh, then this may be just what you're looking for...

This is definitely one of the most original albums produced in the history of UK urban music and for this reason I don't think it received the wider exposure it deserved. It's an comforting deep bassy sound, which is almost unique in my experience, one which completely mesmerized me 8 years ago, and still does today. I don't think he ever really improved on this personally, though others may feel the album is a bit disjointed. I have to say the second track 'dem phonies' does my head in and is probably worth 1 star at best, but the rest is fantastic, especially 'Inna', 'Strange Behaviour', 'Motion 5000' and 'Oh yeah'. It's getting on a bit now, but classics never really age and this certainly hasn't. It will always be one of my favourite albums ... Read More:

This Tighten-Up compilation will put a smile on your face this summer, and might even make you think the sun is shining.

There is a definite progression to be heard as the tracks draw from the original eight lps in the series.

Reggae is still a relatively new concept in the first tracks, having just taken over from the slower rock-steady style in the early sixties. So the first few numbers are very R&B-like. Half way through the first disc the familiar bass thump is there and you know you're not in Kansas anymore.

I am a big fan of unlikely Reggae covers and there are some gems here. The theme from Shaft had me grinning from ear to ear. Bridge Over Troubled Water is pretty good as well.

Tighten Up is a real floor ... Read More:

This CD is worth buying for Bush Doctor alone. A brilliant fast blues/jazz-type piano played over a pumping bass rhythm and driving reggae rhythm. This is an instrumental of Peter Tosh' record of the same name - but that's what the Music Doctors did par excellence. It was also used as the backing track for Madness' Don't Quote Me On That. Warefare is also brilliant. I have both in vinyl and was really pleased to find them on CD. Reggae in your jeggae a lot with this one...

Although the first two tracks are the highlight of this album, they aren't the only good things here. Lyrics are poingnant and moving. Hey World is a great track. And while i'm not sure it's as good as hist last studio album... it's still better than most other albums out at the moment. if you like Franti - it's a must!
