41.Drum Sound: More Gems from the Channel One Dub Room 1974-1980 by: Revolutionaries

Music : Drum Sound: More Gems from the Channel One Dub Room 1974-1980
This is a nice, rounded selection of b-side dubs from the Channel One stable; a typically fine piece of archiving from Pressure Sounds. The cd is largely a showcase for Sly Dunbar's 'double-drum' sound, but most will probably buy it due to the presence of one track only, the extremely rare 'Kunte Kinte Version'(even if it is now available as a 7"). It's hard to imagine a better 4 minutes of dub, a Pabloish, "eastern sound" synthesised flute calling ominously out over a militant rockers riddim. It's rare for Dub to meet the dynamics of a perfect pop record so neatly.

It's inevitable that the rest of the cd pales a little by comparison, though there's lots to enjoy (my picks are 'war version' and 'girl a love you version' - a clattering ... Read More:

...pumping around your legs and feet that is. Like their first album this is a must have for anyone with an interest in funky Balkan Gypsy music fused with Klezmer, HipHop, Dub, Tango, ...

In a similar entertaining vein of balkan frenzy I would also recommend Remixed by De Amsterdam Klezmer Band and from Shantel: Disko Partizani, Bucovina Club Vol 1 and Vol 2.

This album is simply amazing. I thought that the main review on here actually seemed to be questioning Anoushka's abilities. Much like her father Ravi, she is very skilled and talented in traditional Indian music, and has a great understanding of what we call Contemporary music. This is what 'Rise' is, it is a beautiful melding of the two styles together, mixing the traditional with the contemporary.

All of the songs on here are exemplary in every way. The composition and the performances are better than a lot of modern contemporary artists, who could learn a thing or two about arrangement, performance, and composition from this.

As the main review says, the whole CD feels like each piece picks a specific part of the day, starting with the ... Read More:

Jan Garbarek does an amazing job of blending his sax with the classical instrumentation and Khyal style of singing that is performed by Ustad Fateh Ali Khan and Deeyah. Highly recommended.

If you have volume one of this series then you will be tempted to buy volume two. Trojan have really researched well to make this compilation. Buy it if you like the old time styles of reggae!

In 1994, Morgan Heritage released MIRACLE, its lackluster debut LP, and followed it three years later with the superb PROTECT US JAH. Since then, the band has established a reputation for melodious, but uninspired, crossover albums that seem only to appeal to listeners with a casual interest in reggae music. For a band that began its career with glaringly mediocre music, coming "full circle" is nothing to celebrate.

In this latest offering, the band reasserts their formula of "safe" pop-reggae designed to be commercially viable in North American and British markets. Like previous albums, FULL CIRCLE meanders from R&B ("Enough Is Enough"; "Your Best Friend") and watered-down roots ("Propoganda"; "So Much to Come"), with a handful of dancehall tracks bolstered ...

I've always loved Buju and his music, but when I bought this cd I thought that after all these years he would have to go the way of other recording artistes of using mediocre fillers around two hits to complete the ablum. I was certainly wrong! This is album is amazing!! No track skipping!! I danced, laughed, deejayed with him and just loved it!! Buju is deep into the hardcore dancehall while drawing everyone in with him. Even if you only like toned down reggae music you will love this.
AMAZING!!!

This is by far Richie Spice's best album to date and is an absolute must have for any serious reggae fan. His previous three albums are all good in their own right(I have all 3) but as said, THIS IS HIS BEST!!!!

The `Twelve Inch Rulers' series concentrates on those classic 12" singles that Greensleeves have released over the years and that record collectors remember so fondly - and of which, many have never appeared on CD. The previous two `Twelve Inch Rulers' releases featured Henry "Junjo" Lawes and Gussie Clarke. This release concentrates on the works of legendary producer and DJ Jah Thomas.


Jah Thomas was an important figure on the Jamaican music scene during both the roots era of the '70s and the subsequent dancehall decade of the '80s. Besides releasing several DJ sides of his own in the latter half of the '70s, Thomas also came into his own as one of the island's top producers for both singers and DJs. A bulk of these tunes were released in the UK on ... Read More:
