1.Dub Side of the Moon: a Reggae Tribute to Dark Side of the Moon by: Easy Star All-Stars July 26, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.99 You Save: £4.00 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.08
This is an astonishing record! On paper the idea of a reggae cover of Dark Side Of The Moon sounds demented - but in practise it's truly fabulous. The All-Stars perform dub alchemy, conjuring roots rock out of prog rock like it was the most natural progression. Great Gig In The Sky had me sobbing at its beauty - honestly. Any Floyd fans with a passing interest in reggae - or, alternatively, any reggae-ists with a passing interest in Pink Floyd - this is for you. Carefully treading that fine line between homage and parody, the All-Stars present a classic work of art in a new way that shines a white light into the prism of your heart. The result is a mind-bending rainbow.

2.Barry Myers Presents Scratchy Sounds (Ska, Dub, Roots & Reggae Nuggets) by: Various Artists February 26, 2008

DJ Scratchy was a regular figure at Punk gigs in the late 70's. He was the DJ who introduced Reggae, Ska and Dub to the bondage trousered crowds at Clash gigs, tirelessly promoting the Jamaican sound. Here with this double CD he relaunchedhis career, and what a wonderful collection it is, with a mixture of old favourites and obscure gems. If you listen carefully, you can still feel the Punk vibe here and relive the whiff of stale beer and marijuana in the air of those grungy London clubs.

I remember the first time I met someone else who also knew this album. That was about 20 years ago in France, and the bloke was a Punk bloke with the most extreme look and a pronounced taste for very hardcore music. For some reason he was at my place for a party and at some point I played this album. That certainly got his attention as he already knew and loved this album and we struck a lasting immediate friendship there and then. I think this is the moct important thing about this album. It transcends the closed up Dub world to a larger experimental world of open minded people. The production is impeccable, and it certainly will twist your mind when you have smoked a few too many spliffs, but even now that I have not been smoking for ... Read More:

6.Police And Thieves by: Junior Murvin March 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.97 You Save: £2.02 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.10
This album regularly appears in lists of top reggae albums of all time, indicating that compilers of such lists probably don't own enough reggae records. Undoubtedly, the main reason for its acclaim lies with its opener "Police and Thieves", which is indeed a seminal roots masterpiece but it's fair to say that had it not been popularised by the Clash, this album would still be languishing in obscurity. Perry's production is interesting, but it certainly doesn't reach the majestic heights he achieves on the Congos' Heart of the Congos, and many of the songs here are distinctly unspectacular. Not a bad record, but overrated. For the real classics of 70s roots reggae, try the Mighty Diamonds' "Right Time", Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey" or the aforementioned "Heart of ... Read More:

7.Tighten Up! Trojan Reggae Classics (1968 - 1974) by: Various Artists February 26, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.48 You Save: £6.51 (47%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.45
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 filler and ... Read More:

Absolute genius. I never thought that I would be able to listen to, let alone own, a "reggae" album. Karma Police and No Surprises make it worth the buy on their own. Genius

9.Heart of the Congos by: Congos July 14, 2006

I bought this hoping it had some different mixes of the Congos best album, but it seems to have been mastered at a slightly faster speed than the edition on Blood & Fire [which has more & longer tracks]. VP should pay attention to details like that if they want to match the other B&F edition [which also has bonbus tracks included]

10.New Chapter Of Dub by: Aswad October 27, 1989
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.98 You Save: £3.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.69
If ever there was a dub album produced that offered a radical new vision to a dying genre, without a shadow of a doubt, this was it. Recorded over 25 years ago, A New Chapter in Dub more than stands the tests of time; sublime production and a remarkable collage of sounds highlight the true dexterity of Aswad's song-writing talents and arrangements. In Dub Fire, A New Chapter kicks of with an imperious statement of intent, opening with a short snatch of electronic sounds, followed by an unforgetable horn riff and an instantly memorable and distinctive bass-line. The album then embarks on a remarkably evocative and varied selection of songs and soundscapes, each composition characterised by astonishing snatches of echo unexpectedly jumping forth. Even where ... Read More:
