Dennis Bovell's production on Bass Culture is outstanding, maybe not up there with Making History, but still above and beyond the call of genius. This is my favourite LKJ record though, for the lyrics as much as the sound:

Shock-black bubble-doun beat bouncing
rock-wise tumble-doun sound music
bass history is a moving
is a hurting black story.



And the lyrics to track 5, but you'll have to buy a copy of the Penguin Classics "Mi Revalueshanary Fren" for that. Cos all I've got here to quote (in poem format) from is EA Markham's "Hinterland" (recommended, for what it's worth), which along with above excerp has an LKJ interview that has stayed in my mind for ages:

Good selection of tracks, and good sound.
Only downside- cd cover has no history, or lyrics. You can go to YouTube.com to see videos of Johnny singing "I can see clearly now" plus a good cover by Jimmy Cliff in the '80s.

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.

65.Blackheart Man by: Bunny Wailer

`Question is does Bunny sound like Bob, or does Bob sound like Bunny!? No matter, the inspirational source is the same and the result is exultation, as the Blackheart man gives praise to the most high!

Purchased as an after thought while looking for some Burning Spear, this album has kept me so sweet since buying it over a week ago. Tracks 5 & 7 are the only weak points on this solid Roots- Rock- Steady offering. `The Oppressed Song' and `Bide Up' are like medicine for the soul. Buy this. I defy you to be disappointed!

I'm a 22 year old with gothic tendancies, and I'm quite varied in my musical taste (I love Nine Inch Nails, HIM, Marilyn Manson, Bryan Adams, Guns n Roses, Sting, Nickelback and the Mediaeval Baebes amongst many others). I think Good Charlotte have some fantastic songs: they're catchy, passionate and funny in equal measure. What does it matter what genre they are? I think they're great. There's very few songs which I don't like (which is very rare) and there's not a duff song on this album.

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!
