Soory to tell you this, but the new I-Wayne gets a maximum 4 / 10 for me... As a Reggae Record Seller, companies brings me free front copies of the newcoming albums... After a pretty good "Lava Ground", I got a really bad time listening to "Book Of Life"... Very deceiving... A lot of Non-Reggae-At-All songs, Soul and R&B so-so tries, very few Roots Style and not more than slightly enjoyable Dancehall pieces are the contain of this album... Yet, his voice is srill very nice and the packaging is really good... the cover picture is an excellent art-work!! MelodicaMan (Vive le Québec LIBRE!!!) |
Posted by Vil1 on 11.06.2007 | |
I need to listen to be sure... and yes Lava Ground is a marvelous album. Perhaps I Wayne want to break frontier between Reggae and R&B or soul music, it's not a sad news if some new listeners can love reggae music. |

Even if I enjoyed the two first King Jammy produced albums released by Greensleeves (Sizzla - Waterhouse Redemption in 2006 and Natural Black - Jah Guide in 2007), this third one is my favourite. The encounter of two great men : producer King Jammy and singer Ras Shiloh. Each song is a real pleasure and Shiloh proves his big talent on this new roots and digital instrumentals. A big tribute to King Jammy's sound system with 'To The King', the spiritual and powerful vibrations of natural hills on 'Man From The Mountain' and an excellent duet with Lutan Fyah on 'Mama Africa'. He also offers a killer deejay style on 'Only King Selassie'. A great album to listen again and again without any disappointing tune ! |

Why when JBC became defunct , did they not find another home for these National Treasures / Pieces of History?? And secondly , the National Archives (Spanish Town ? I believe ) werent doing the job they were supposed to be doing were they?. This news surely implies no inventory was checked in almost three years,thats downright shabby if you ask me. Somebody besides the perps (who I doubt they'll ever catch ) , should be held accountable !!! |

Sad news indeed as another of Jamiaca's great but largely unspoken talents passes with hardly a murmur. His gritty soulful voice blessed numerous good tunes and spoke to the heart. Duane Stephenson sings a sadly timely but lovely version of "Cottage in Negril" on his "From August Town" album. Sleep peacefully Tyrone. Jah Bless! |

I remember, I was in France at Bagnolle Sur Ceze, during the festival called "ja sound festival" in 2005... the crowd were numerous and created a real human flood between the King earthquake's, king shilo's and abashanti I sound boxes. Suddenly, Errol, announced "...well now, london's burnin' hot ras nyto at the vocals..." and he launched the tribulation dub with ras nyto and the crowd gone wild fulla iration, steppin' pon the riddim, never seen that in the dances before... And I took attention to the lyrics and realized this chune was a real murderation inna dubplate style... thank you Errol to have fulfilled the role of a sound operator/producer... he is a real example for me: who has waited for this chune to be released ? Lotta selectaz believe me ! I'm sure this chune ago mek massives skank for years !! Laaaarge uuuuup King Earthquake !! Hurukan Stylah Ubuntu Edutainment Project, Belgium |

Charming with attitude – why not try circulating some translated lyrics, at least for the excerpts online (no escape from Anglo-centricity…) I’ve forwarded to my BAMER networks rep (hook for women’s sector re. domestic slavery & FGM) let me know if you want more contacts. Good luck with the campaign, Helen X |

Bafing Kul has a vital message, conveyed through the vehicle of his incredible music. It is a travesty that Yelen is not available to the public. Please right this wrong... Only through supporting the music of artists like Bafing Kul, will the voice of the oppressed and dispossed be heard - and ultimately acted upon... Distributors of the world unite..! Release Yelen now...! |

Anthony is not the first to release "internet-only" albums: Sly & Robbie did it a couple of years ago with a batch of several albums: 1. Usual suspects: a dub album recorded at Tuff Gong and mixed by Godwin logie 2. Live 86: a live album recorded in 1986 with Taxi Gang, Ini Kamoze, Half Pint and Yellowman 3. the re-release of dub classics "Disco Dub", "Gamblers Choice" and "Rebel Soldier" those are available on itunes and other webstores, but not on CD or vynil. |

This is a good compilation of Flava's work with this 2 good singers. They both give their version on No Doubt records riddim and they all sound good, sweet and soft. 2009 has been a prolific year for Kemar 'Flava' McGregor and his No Doubt label with the release of 2 riddims (Rock Steady and the great Ghetto riddim) but also the release of albums Trodding by Natty King, Vibes by Glen Washington, Music by Lutan Fyah and Let Jah Be Praised by Teflon ! |

Once again 3 of these tracks were first issued by the Jamaican Gold label on their compilation Clancy Eccles Reggae Review At The Carib Theatre JMC200.254 back in 2001, so it's hardly unheard of. Also Pressure Sounds have got the tracklist mixed up. King Tubbys City Dub is actually the dub to King Stitts In The City track. I can't fathom why this mis-information is going on in reviews by Dub Vendor, Pressure Sounds and now United Reggae. Surely abit of investigation by writers before writing reviews would sort this out, rather than just repeating what the labels tell you. |

Is it any wonder that in a world lacking in moralilty, a sound remeniscent of Garnet would be one to remind I that Rasta is more than the turban and the cloth? Shiloh is a great and this album delivers more than just content, for any musicaly adept listen, the voice delivery alone is head and shoulders above any in the modern age.

A wonderful set of warm organic from time vibes. In places very Tommy McCook and The Supersonics, indeed a couple of the tunes appearing on this album could of been pulled from the old Doctor Bird label B Sides. A clean crisp recording yet leaning more towards analog sound rather than digi in it's sound production. A superb album to kick off 2010. Take a slice and play it nice! Gibsy @ Springline. |

I LOVE THESE SONGS! This work is admirable by itself. Considering that these songs are from a debut album is even more phenomenal! The lyrical content I find especially good easy to follow and unexpected in its composition. I love the sound that they have as well, a kind of a contemporary twist on the original reggae beats. I look forward to hearing more from this duo! |

Junior Kelly released 3 albums with VP in 2001, 2003 and 2005 (2 years between each albums, all other are unofficial compilations). Capleton released 3 albums with VP in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Others are unofficial compilations Junior Kelly also comes back on VP this year with a fourth album (5 years after last one). |

RIP Sid, you have gone to claim your reward. How many times I have pored over an album sleeve and read the name 'Sid Bucknor', and come to associate it with quality and integrity within the music. There are few who can match your skills in our time, you will be missed by those who know you and all those who have enjoyed the great music that you have worked on. One Love and Godspeed, J |

Just left a comment on the Ginjah album, That roots Radics are truly missed in the buiseness, but just listened to some tunes from Chezi's new album, and wow, what a sound.. Getting get authentic vibe listening to sum tunes. |
Posted by Rootsman on 05.16.2010 | |
I really dont understand all these possitive comments on Don's new album. His albums are getting worse every year. And this album is on top of his worse albums, it's very hard to say this about my once favourite roots singer.. But Don keeps disapointing me with his albums.. Hope he will make an album with some decent musicians, and some good production.. |

What a fine written piece of interview. A bit too long! http://www.oshengo.com/#page=videoandid=2459 |
Posted by jeremiyah on 05.26.2010 | |
RAS is so right! What a lot of people don't realize is that Jamaica did not have a 'gun culture' prior to the 1970's when the US feared that the PNP government of Michael Manley posed a threat of another socialist enclave off the coast of Florida. In response the CIA systematically instituted a covert policy of destabilization by arming political supporters/gangs loyal to the opposition. The legacy is self-evident today, and they have the hypocrisy to label Christopher Coke as a danger to society!! |

Bobby Chin, from Black Chiney sound, was viciously beaten and hospitalized on yesterday morning after the finally from the Best of the Best Miami memorial weekend. The dance held at Mansion, was called NY vs Miami. Words were thrown on stage by the selectors from NY and Miami and in the end, ALL from NY punked out and did not want to play any more tune. After security left and thought they squashed it, on the way out, he was attacked by Jabba (Massive B) and Young Chow from hot 97, Platinum kids from Bronx and Pretty Posse from Queens. He was then rushed to the hospital, my prayers are with him for a speedy recovery. Duppy really know a who fi frighten! Why dem neva step to Twitch, or Poisen Dart, or innocent after dem tell the NY sound fi suk dem madda! I don't know how Jamaican people stay so, but then again, the only one dat come from yard a Platinum Kids and dem de a NY from dem a little pickney.

In the roll call of Jamaican reggae artists, Sugar Minott will go down as having one of the greatest voices the island has ever produced (as good as, or better, than the likes of Cornell Campbell, Ken Boothe, Alton Ellis, Freddie McGregor and Beres Hammond to name handful of the best). More importantly was his absolute dedication to the craft of conscious roots reggae, unmoved by the faddishness of JA's music scene or the pitiful rewards, and his unselfish commitment to promoting young artists. JA has lost so many of its great pioneering reggae artists. Sugar Minott's passing is as big a loss for reggae as were the deaths of Coxsone, Augustus Pablo and King Tubby - all of them absolute originators of Jah's music. Forward on to Zion Sugar! |

It's not the dread upon yu head/ weh make yu be a rastaman/ them coulda tall till them touch the ground/ if you nah praisin Jah you're livin like a clown; you'll go down...- Sugar Minott. The prolific writer, the Honarable Lincoln Booga Sugar Minott wrote and sang the sweetest most melodic reggae, lover's rock, and dancehall songs. AND he was intelligent, humorous and cool. Check out songs like Jammin in the Streets, You've Got the Love I Need, Easy Sqeeze, Nice it Up, and Loving Jah [big respect to Minnie Ripperton]. Long Live the Energy of Sugar Minott. Peace and love to his family, and the conscious community at large! |

Rest In Peace Sugar Minott one of my musical heroes who when I first visited Easy Street Studios, London welcomed me with open arms. You took my band Musical Youth under your wing and spent many a time hanging out with us when we were in Jamaica filming videos and recording at studio 1. You will be missed by all of the remaining members of the band and please look after our bredren Patrick when you meet him wherever you maybe. Gone but not forgotten from all of Musical Youth. |
Posted by Norris deanpen on 07.14.2010 | |
Even Though we are extremely sad to see the passing of another legend as Sugar Minott, I personally believe we should take this opportunity to spread the message this great artist has always stood for. He was one to speak Highly of the need to spread a good message, ensuring the music was for the healing of the soul. A student of STUDIO 1 now is the time to take out the old songs and go down memory lane, enjoy ourself, Sugar Minott made enough good tunes to last us a few weeks, this should enlighten the young ones about how brilliant this man was and the impact he had on reggae music. Has it happens I only reacently bought one of his old CD he was also on the Studio 1 story of the origins of reggae music, let the world knows how influential he was and his contribution to reggae music, because of great men like Sugar, these young now have a ready made music audience.

Its laughable to say Anthony Bishop is a limited deliverer. However opnions may vary depending on tastes and thus critique is also prone to bias. Whatever might be said of The artist, Rise up is yet more testament to the avid reggea roots lover that the bishop has not forgotten his flock... |

I arrived straight at the festival from Frankfurt airport with my backpack and no tent or sleeping bag or nything like that BUT in the spirit of reggae music and its natural good vibes 2 Germans I bumped into happily took me with them to their campsite and gave me space to crash and store my bags, THANKS, Mr.Pauler and Mr.Adi, hope one day I can do the same for you :) One Love |

We went in the studio first to do Faculty Of Dub. Actually, about half of the riddims were recorded for Faculty Of Dub (released in December 2008). Nelson Miller, former drummer for Burning Spear and myself on bass, we laid down several riddims. I used part of them for Faculty Of Dub and got inspiration to write songs on some of them too, that I used for Mi Deh Yah. I was there too, layin' down keyboard rhythms! Was very much a part of the session with Clinton and Nelson!!! |

All the best CC. Jamekee/D.I.A got it's first official press mentions in The Beat via Elana Omauno's record reviews a long minute ago. THANK U ELANA AND CC. *************D.I.A's FANTRA ZINE************ Roots/conscious Reggae is the biggest sub-genre of reggae. Roots Reggae is bigger than dancehall period! Outside the frequency of Hot97 secular weekly dancehall program, majority of the artists who receive spins are not heard of. In rega...rds to keeping reggae pure -- one of the biggest luminary in reggae ventured outside the classic one-drop box to incorporate other sounds in his sound. That luminary is Bob Gong Marley. The Barret brothers maintained the one-drop riddim and dub bass section but the sound was colored with blues and rock riffs plus lyrics borrowed from other artists. 'Talking Blues': 'Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too' lyrics were borrowed from Blues great Lightnin' Hopkins 'Mojo Hand' song. Al Anderson brought the rock (roots-rock-reggae) flavor borrowing riffs from BB King, WAR, etc. Memba Gong's Punky Reggae Party. Listen!! From Catch A Fire to Pimpers Paradise Gong was taking his sound in another direction. And that is what great Artists do. They hate redundancy. Fusing reggae with other sounds only make reggae bigger. Via that artery new fans usually discover the original artists, musicians and sounds. And this even more profound in the Internet age where there are no boundaries. Preserving traditions is good. Be open minded also. Isolation hurts in many ways. Yea. Go buy a record and concert tickets even if u are on the guest list. Support the Artist... Buy a Reggae Magazine. |

Posted by dalecooper on 09.15.2010 | |
I think you're right that it was rushed, but from the samples (and couple of full songs) I've heard it's still a quality release - just too short! I guess I'll take what I can get though considering Buju's situation. If anything I think Buju has been guilty of over-planning his albums, taking too many years to release them. That might be why some of them seem to want to hit every base at once (dancehall, reggae, ska, pop, etc.) instead of settling on a core style. I'd like it if Buju would slip an album out there a little more often, kind of like what happened with Too Bad. He could do one of those every other year like Sizzla does and I'd be quite happy. |
Posted by Griffin68 on 09.16.2010 | |
Buju's lawyer is confident that Mr Myrie will walk after the trial, he reports that the 2 other defendant in the case have made plea bargain with this one even got 25 years instead of a life sentence because he got caught twice before (3 strikes). Even though there are many videos around of Buju with these guys and even one of him tasting the coke, this does not concern his lawyer, Buju was in his bed on the actual day of the transaction, his lawyer maintains the trial is about drugs trafficking, not tasting the drug! |

Buju has to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact Buju said he'd finance the cocaine deal and didn't is strong evidence for him. Moreover, an entire year's investigation by the gov't showed no financial link from Buju to financing and cocaine. I thought he was guilty until that evidence arose. Beyond a reasonable doubt isn't proven at all. |
Posted by j on 10.02.2010 | |
Think is a plan thing, a singer like him should realise.... these people has have it out for him from he made a particular song, but its all about how much power they have as a body..... i just wish this tail gets on its way and finish cause the stories r just building to punish him.... and he is not guilty.

You'll experience a rebirth. One Love Buju!!! |

This was an AWESOME, MYSTICAL event. The love in the air was palpable. Everyone, no matter what color, age of lifestyle, greeting with each other with kindness and a sense of friendship. It truly represented the heart of Rastafari! |

Buju will eventually be free because beyond a reasonable doubt just isn't proven. I hope Buju has learned his lesson and remembers to hail up Jah in all the songs he writes from here on. |
Posted by Guillaume Bougard on 10.22.2010 | |
I beg to differ on the writer's appreciation (A Song being a notch below Revolutionary Dream). I for one think A Song is a more carefully honed diamond than the man's first effort. Also, I think the higher production budget shows it was well used as the sound is fuller, rounder, sharper, as the arrangements are more intricate, etc... The mix is better, the mastering is better, etc... Just my personal opinion. By the way, the Rebirth is a great album too! |

Greetings my Beloved SISTA. Wrote you a letter to be read at Gregory\'s Funeral Service but having difficulty posting it, as do not have an address. Have already sent a letter of Tribute to the Editor of the Gleaner, if and when it is published, is another matter. Would you be so kind as to respond to this email, please, then i will submit it & another i have written to, hopefully be read at The Great Man\'s Service? Brotherly Love. Lloyd. God Bless my dear.

my dear Lady. I would b grateful if this could be read at my Brethren\'s Funeral Service. As a Proud Jamaican, born ii/01/1947, Higgin Town, St.Ann, i Love this piece of Rock which gave me Life.I Love and Respect ALL of our Performers\' who, over the decades, have shown the world the Rich Heritage we have,due to the sufferings of our Ancestors\' endured. Let us not forget them.They ALL deserve a Standing Ovation for the Valued Contributions they have made. Long after the names of Public Servants are forgotten by the masses\' their names will be forever Carved in our vhearts. As we honour our Beloved Gregory Isaacs, lets bow our heads and say a silent prayer of thanks. Appreciation and Love, most important, RESPECT to a Brethren who, in my opinion, was truly Gifted & Blessed by the Most High. Many, including Bob Marley, Dennis Brown. Joseph Hill. Desmond vDekker, & others too numerous to mention here, have done Jamaica Proud through their music. Gregory stood out for the way he delivered the message of LOVE for ALL mankind, without offending anyone. That, in itself, is an Art. Jah be Praised. No other artist have managed to capture the \"Essence\" the way my Beloved Brethren did. One Love.One Joy.One Jamaica. One \"Bredda Dweetb Sweet\". Gregory Isaacs. Misas you my Brethren. Thank you for the Rich Legacy you have left us. Forever in my heart. Love and Respect. Lloyd George. |

"King Tubbys never mixed one song with the Roots Radics"?? That is a revelation and hard to believe, it's a shame Mr. Taylor didn't ask more about this (good interview, otherwise). I thought Blood & Fire actually did try to make sure they were paying some royalties to the right artists, another shameful realization. I hope a Scientist doc will shed light on these things with the right proof to back it up. |

AGREED: THE REGGAE GRAMMY IS A SAD JOKE. the arrogance of those outside of the thing to appear to appropriate wat is excellent. those that have won don\'t represent the best, check the record of this award. IT IS A TRAVESTY. but Reggae fights Babylon so we shouldn\'t expect Babylon could possibly \'get\' it. i\'m a Reggae fan that let go of this \'award\' as important years ago. ain\'t nobody checkin\' for this. thanks for your article. (i\'m going to read it now - i had to commend you for the accuracy of your headline and for making a space) love |

Posted by Rob Kenner on 12.09.2010 | |
The nominees are not chosen by a jury but by all the members of the Recording Academy. Since very few of these people are reggae listeners, the most familiar names do tend to get nominated year after year. Here's a look back in time at some past winners of the Reggae Grammy: http://www.boomshots.com/?p=169. In my opinion The Soul Train Awards was more successful recognizing the best reggae acts this year. Check their nominees here: http://www.boomshots.com/?p=4676 |
Posted by Andy B on 12.11.2010 | |
Author is so correct in mentioning both Clinton Fearon and Earl Zero. Both are true gems. |
Posted by I-Rick on 12.11.2010 | |
Beside the nominees beeing chosen by the members of the Academy, a album to feature there as to be proposed by the artist/label before, to enter a 30 (I believe...) albums list...Always hard to find that list, so we never really know what were the first choices... Still it´s the same every year...So many veterans awaiting long time recognization released good albums this year: Horace Andy, Pablo Moses, Apple Gabriel, Clinton Fearon, Earl Zero, Winston Jarret, Anthony Johnson, Don Carlos...we would expect at least one to be there! But everyone knows it´s not really a \'reggae music\' award, it´s common sense this days, so no point in debating it for to long :) Anyway, from what\'s there... Andrew Tosh Legacy album would be my choice. blessings |
Posted by @Rowan506Levy on 12.11.2010 | |
The Grammy award can be a hit or miss at times. This years it's a miss. It's hard to believe that of the recordings that were submitted to NARAS these entries were the final nominees. The Reggae industry needs members to join NARAS, this would make a big difference. |

Agreed 100%. I'm from Africa (Namibia) and to me this is a very sad joke. They supose to nominate the new generation of reggae artists, the likes of Gyptian, Busy Signal, Damian Marley. In fact how can they nominate them if they do not know them. Gyptian released a hit this I was expecting him to be nominated. Peace! |

Great to see an interview with the Man Genius that is the one and only Scientist. Pity it concerned more about how he and other Reggae artists being ripped of. They should not need to be going to court to fight record companies to get there money. It good that Scientist has been able to fight them with the law. I thought Greensleves was a decent record co and the artists did get there money but obviously not same as Blood and Fire. They sound like they stand for the artist and artist get his pay but know this is not right, so big up to Scientist, may Jah help and bless him in the struggle. |

GREAT album ! the tunes featured here are definitely not the best on the album ( they were available on 7"'s few people seem to have noticed last year), which says a lot about the standards on the album. Alpheus is not only a great stylist, he also has a distinctive voice. As for "ska and rock steady tradition being kept alive", he probably is one of the very few artists of JA origins carrying the flag (alongside P Hunnigale, Peter Spence, Courtney John...) but there are many groups keeping it alive all around the world with much style as well. |

I don't believe reggae music is dying.I think people who grew up listening to reggae during the golden era are still stuck there and just can't stop putting down any reggae artist that's not from that era { you know the next generation of reggae artists }.I can remember reading an article,when roots reggae first started being released and how it had its critics.Technology has made reggae music more accessible,but the downside is all the illegal downloading,maybe that's why sales are not doing well? |

Three European releases I enjoyed last year were more dub than those above, were \'Re-wired in Dub\' by Pama International & Mad Professor, Dub Setter by Adrian Sherwood & Lee Scratch Perry, and the Best of Deep Root Records - a CD release of the first eight singles released on Deep Root records! |

United States of Africa by Luciano is a BIG omission from this list..best album for the year 2010 to me by a mile... |
Posted by Camille on 01.04.2011 | |
Thanks for your comments. The Alborosie album was released in 2009 in Europe so was included on our 2009 list. We considered doing a top 25 to include the two Luciano albums but decided it was already quite a long list. |

Hi I read about the library and donation of books. College libraries in England have a regular clearance of books especially during the end of year. If someone could set up an intiative to hone in on getting unsold books to Jamaica it would be a way of building up libraries out there. There are hundreds of books here thrown away each year even in public libraries too. I would be happy to be an advocate. |

Thanks everyone for your comments. Plenty of good albums missed and I am rightly catching some flack for not mentioning Luciano. As Camille hinted, both albums were on the list from the start but I dropped them at the last minute on the grounds that, having released two great albums in one year, he didn\'t need the exposure. Judging from the comments I was right! |

What a hypocritical event. It is billed as promoting a healthy lifestyle, yet Pepsi has done more to damage the health of society, with their fat, Sugar, and tortured flesh (they owned and operated KFC until it split and became YUM brands, a subsidiary of Pepsico) Most rastafari Reggae artists are FRAUDS... A bunch of money worshippers begging to be let in to the very society that they 'burn'. |

Taj takes his work to a another level. This collection moves well beyond Deidem which is a wonderful piece of work. There is a haunting similarity in sound, style AND substance to the late, great Bob Marley, but that is still uniquely Taj... Well done |

I am interested in information about your organic product for your joints. I had to go and have two injections in my knees yesterday, and learned that I have no cartilage left. so like a good doctor he suggested surgery. Well I have had many surgeries and also I am a Jehovah witness and will not accept blood. So I had heard about your product and in the past I smoked the Budwiser and never knew that it dried out your joints and now I am having problems. If you could send me some information I would like to order it from you. Also I watched Shotta\'s I have never in my life watched a movie that many times I have a best friend named Kelly, and we went to collage together and I took care of her kids for her and we were supposed to go back to her yard but my dad got sick and i had to come and take care of him in Natchitoches LA. and so she told me that if I ever go to not go into trench town alone I loved her accent and was glad that shotta\'s exposed that corrupt government and also I had a problem with you using the n word and B---h word because I never heard Kelly or Ron use those word don\'t take this personally but it threw me off because Spragga never said it but it is just that I wish that humans would quit hatin and start participatin. Well if you could send that information I would appreciate it very much oh 1 more thing you look so much like your dad it is like he spit you out and YOU ARE FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hi, slight correction here: the Gregory Isaacs cut Roberto is remixing is not recorded with the Homegrown band, but Sly & Robbie. I am not with the Homegrown, I think he is confusing me with my friend Guillaume Briard. Aside from that, I totally agree with Roberto's analysis of the current "crisis" in Jamaican roots reggae music and the huge responsibility of the musicians who dont play "heavy" anymore. Also, I dont understand why producers wont hire the Roots Radics to back their new productions instead of the dibby dibby sounding outfits... |

Glen always wanted to return to Jamaica to live and this he did. He was always not in "A-1" health but was doing well until he became ill on November 25th....I know this because I was there, through the weeks of his illness. I honor his name and his legacy and am happy to have been his friend for 37 years. Rest in Peace! |

Reggae, dub has evolved but the people that control the reviews, the promotions etc are stuck in the past. Reggae is not dead, dub is not dead. Its just sadly neglected and soon will ignored as the newer artsists are surely tired of not getting any recognition wil just move on.

I think Reggae as we know it is dying out. Round my way in Clapton Regal Records is now a Polish cafe. I remember the shop was stinging back in the day. Like the article said, kids ain't playing it no more. Sound systems and park events are more or less dead too. |
Posted by Má Raça on 02.08.2011 | |
Reggae isn't dying, but the conciousness is. there's a lot of modern reggae artists that don't focus their lyrics in the ispiration of the almighty. back in the days (70's and early 80's) reggae was conscious, uplifting and revolucionary. i live in portugal and in here, the soundsystems that gather more audience are the ones who play non counscios dancehall. it's a pity wat's happening to reggae, if i have the skill of a selecta and the means, i start right now my own soundsystem... and a counscious one. |

Seldom does a chosen few, in this case the "select" members of the Recording Academy, represent the opinions of the masses. One must question the broader awareness of the membership about Reggae and what it has to offer. For the most part they can only relate to the mainstream stuff.

Wow, what a revelation! I was just saying to my family last night that of all of the early Island records (uk) covering the ska and rock steady period, the only ones that showed the composer and publishing credits were those that charted in englands pop charts. Someone sure made money out of ska, rocksteady and reggae - it doesn't seem to be the people that originally made the music. |

I have heard of your label Chuck. In fact I met with you at Delilah's in Chicago to discuss releasing this project as well as touring opportunities for Mr. Morris. I don't believe I received a response whether by phone or e-mail. The fourth wave cannot start until the originators of the Artform decide to do so... And Mr. Morris has decided that now is the time! Get on board Chuck, Let's Go!!! |
Posted by Earl Panton on 02.28.2011 | |
Fourth wave?!! where have you guys been?!!! Ska is plundering its fifth wave as we speak with the Japanese and Koreans and especially the South and Central Americans navigating their adventurous ways through it. You guys better get it together before the next wave starts. Bt the way this sample cut from Eric my old Kingston neighbor is sounding very good, I keep singing it in my mind and that's a great sign of a hit. Please give it full attention like I'm seeing you giving Eric's career some focus. It's a shame a foundation artist like Monty hasn't done an album as yet with so much pioneering hits under his belt. Cheers to you and him in this really seemingly great recording. All the very best to your project, One Love!! |

This is really none too surprising. Sad to say there's just no money in roots reggae any more, especially in reissuing old and obscure stuff that not many have heard of to begin with. Labels attempting this would be well advised to scale back their operations - do much more limited pressings like the small metal and punk labels do, and lean more on digital distribution as well. Just the fact that Makasound was apparently in debt for that much tells me that they were putting too much cash into what they were doing, when there was very little hope of getting it back in sales. |

Keep it up. |

DRUGS!!!!!!!! I see the sadness in your eyes...I feel your pain...I hear your lies. I recognize your guilt and shame because our lives were once the same. I kissed the pipe...I scarred the vein...just like you, I was insane. On a mission everyday while fear and chaos led my way. And I pretended not to see that what I chose was killing me. Lost in shadows, I lived a lie. Constant heartache while I watched my dreams die. Consequences realized too late to erase the damage that I'd create. My addiction blinded me to how very sweet life could be. JAH heard my cries, HE heard my plea and broke the chains of my misery. I give thanks and praise everytime...everyday. By JAH grace and mercy, I found THE WAY. |

We are melting away the mysteries about the release of Anthony B's new album, 'Rasta Love'. The record, announced more than a year ago, was released in February by "Born Fire Music", the label founded by the same singer from Jamaica, with no promotion. In the world of reggae many had asked the reasons for this choice, especially because 'Rasta Love' is a great album, which fuses dancehall rhythms and roots music, in Anthony B's style. The Jamaican superstar said that the album is only available at a promotional level, and now you can buy a copy just at live show. Has not started yet, therefore, the physical distribution in all record stores worldwide. Meanwhile, the artist is busy with his long 'Rasta Love Tour 2011' which, starting from North America January 5, moved to South America in February, Australia in March and will arrive in Europe in June and July. It's still available on Itunes the first single 'My my yes & my no'(http://itunes.apple.com/album/my-yes-on-my-no-single/id423554903), a love song particularly successful . We just have to wait. MC |

Yes. It is dying. All labels have folded, or at least are not releasing a lot. Think Greensleeves, Trojan, Blood & Fire, Jet Star. Artists like Sizzla released 4-5 albums a year. Now he will be happy with one. I myself bought 30-40 albums a year 3-10 years ago. Now? Not since Sanches latest great effort. I Sweden where I live, the reggae artists used to play in places about 500-1000 capacity. Nowdays 200-500. I feel sad. But, at the same time, the reggae festival in Uppsala is quite successful. |

Excuse me MrQuik, I am a singer based in New York who had the pleasure of knowing/hearing Ras jumbo and Jose played together before his passing. There is nothing delusional about what he said. Jose was one of the best drummer I know, together they stack right up there with Sly and Robbie. Did you have the opportunity to heard them play together? If not, how can you scream delusion. You need to know not just believe. Jahlee |

Nuff respect to Ray, if only there would be more people like him around today who had control AND MONEY, then the odd download problem would be none. People who feel responsible and are engaging themselves in keeping the foundation sounds relevant today. It's such a mess now, the treasures of music will be forgotten within the next ten or so years. We need people like this to give the knowledge and spread the vibe to all next generations.

Dezarie is THE most authentic Rastafarian Empresses I have come across. The depth of her lyrics coupled with the spiritual, mystic sounds of African Roots Lab have never failed to inspire me to walk the walk and perform the good works. This music is not the ordinary at all, and she is a decade ahead of any Empress I hear presently. Blessed Love |

Was there ever a question whether they are the best. When I heard them for the first time I said (some would consider disrespectful) Bob Marley hasn't done this, I consider them better! THE BEST EVER! The Truth |

Bob Marley was a prophet. I see his prophies on war, politics and injustice coming to pass all the time in my country, Nigeria and the world. His music is indeed timeless. I can't help but wonder how he managed to see 30 year ahead of his time whenever I listen to him. His music inspires me to love, stand up for my rights and appreciate the good things of life while dealing with the challenges. Its only God that could have given him such an awesome gift of music. |

Bob Marley's songs simply flowed from within, easy on the ear, easy on the heart, perfectly Natural, nothing false, nothing forced, nothing copied, just from himself, and of himself. The only way to be "as good as" someone like that, is to be like them, natural in mind, spirit and soul. You can't copy it, you can't learn it, you either have it within you, or you don't. Most Simply Don't Simply the best, Bob Marley |

Mr Puss obviously has pus in his ears. Gregory used to love Guillaume Bougard and would come visit him everytime he was in town to voice tracks for him. Lyrics are easy to understand, interesting and catchy. What more do you want? |

Gregory did not reach that level of singing anymore after 83.. It all went backwards from then. Even Sly and Robbie can not make up for Gregory's poor singing here.. |

Four Years and no justice for the poor!! How can we believe Trinidad and Tobago to be a just society, when it seems that celebrities and bigshots who commit crime are exempt from serving time? OJ Simpson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Louis Armstrong, Lil Wayne, Lil’ Kim, Mike Tyson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Martha Stewart, Notorious B.I.G., Foxy Brown , Bobby Brown, James Brown, Orlando Brown, Marcus Camby, Charlie Sheen, 50 Cent, Tupac Shakur, Mike Tyson, …. are celebrities who all served or are serving their times for their crimes. This list goes to show that in a just society, if celebrities, even though they're rich and famous, do not live above the law, like anybody else who breaks it, they can and will end up in jail. Is a Soca Hero above the law? Justice delayed is justice denied. IT IS TIME TO END THE MOCKERY OF JUSTICE, PEACE, AND ORDER THAT HAS EXISTED FOR TOO LONG!! |

Height of praises for the sounds they produce. It has not been often in recent times where you find a band who\'s live performances are spiritually charged. More importantly this energy is translated to recording without fail. This album is very well recorded and mixed, the vocals of lead singer and drummer Kush can only be described as rootical as his dynamic within the recordings are much like many who came before i.e. Burning Spear. Point is Uprising Roots is an authentic sound with no compromise on the mission and message. \"The brightest light shines from within\" Brightes Light, Uprising Roots RASTAFARI |

First of I want to congratulate Ziggi with his new album! It’s good to see fresh home grown reggae in the Netherlands, gotta love home grown :P! So peace and love to Ziggi. However, I am offended by the comment that ‘It remains difficult for black music..’. I read it in the paper and now I see the same quote popping up. Reggae is NOT black music! Reggae music is for all of mankind indifferent to race, religion or eye-color. By using the terminology of black and white Ziggi is strengthening the false philosophy of racial divides , while in fact we are all human beings united under the same sun. I question the motives of Ziggi and fear he will become a sellout. He is blaming others for not liking his music, presumably because he is black. He should take a good look in the mirror because the problem is his own music. It is oke to make fusion reggae but don’t expect that to succeed as roots reggae can. Roots reggae, given to us by the prophet Bob Marley, is the only reggae that can unite the world! The words of wisdom within the music of e.g. Groundation or Clinton Fearon continue the roots reggae mission for peace, love and unity for all of mankind. So, Ziggi stop blaming others for your own failures. Get some weed and return to the roots to find all the answers you seek. |

I have been listening to reggae music for 32 years and I have not heard any dance hall DJ as conscious as Chukki Starr, if you want to hear any one that conscious then you have to go to roots reggae, the likes of Garnet Silk, Bushman or Luciano. Another dance hall DJ that can come close is Sluggy Ranks. |

Very dissapointed Mystical Warrior did not get a mention, even though he has appeared on 2 out of 3 of these compilations and has promoted each of these productions to the fulless, not looking for status just looking for credit where credit is due, working hard to help and promote this kind of underground roots music to the masses in this unforgiving and bias society. |

Why do these artists use a computer drum? It would sound so much better with live musicians. Imagine the Radics instead of that computer track... |
Posted by Xavier on 05.19.2011 | |
MrQuick :) Stop with the Roots Radics! We know they are the best, but they cant play for all reggae artists. |

Posted by MrQuick on 05.22.2011 | |
Hi Xavier: The Radics used to play for everyone, like Sly & Robbie, too, or the Aggrovators. So they are still capable of doing so! And when they used to do that, the music wasnt that bad at all, was it? Now having said that, any other live band rather than computer drums which sound like demos would suit me fine. |
Posted by rootsman on 05.22.2011 | |
I agree with Mr. Quick. Authentic Roots comes to its full vibes with live instruments. Roots Radics would be great, but indeed any other dedicated roots band would be better then computerprogram sound. |

Track N°4 is wrong due to a misprint on the label, that's definitively not Joseph Cotton aka Jah Walton... Cotton himself says so !! |

One of my favorite lines in this review is "that funky ska theme that the Aggros do so well". Hits the nail on the head, as the Aggrolites do what they do best, satisfy your craving for some good funky reggae sounds. The album may be short but leaves us yearning for more and I can't wait to hear this 'rugged' album live! Definitely going to Warped! |

The reversal of the presumption of innocence in drug-possession cases is incompatible with the rule of law and is therefore unconstitutional in ALL jurisdictions. Furthermore, the ECONOMICS of the drug trade dictate that criminal sanctions are self-defeating unless concentrated on RETAIL SALES. See "The universally unconstitutional war on drugs": http://is.gd/ccxry6 . |

Mr McGregor publicity stunts for your new riddim aint gonna work when the whole of the reggae music biz knows how you stay. VP Records have done to you what you do to artists, so whats the problem, what goes around, comes around. You have to go global because the artists in Jamaica kno's how u stay, post one receipt to your facebook, that you have sent to a artist for digital sales from your website. |

Notwithstanding the hypocrisy of the 'war on drugs' and although my heart goes out to Buju as I believe him to be a good man, he is also an intelligent one and shoulda know that when 'you play with fire you a go burn'. May his time pass quickly and he soon return an even wiser man. |

My sentiments exactly, it is a shame to spoil such a good review with making such a big deal about auto tuning. After reading this article and then listening to the songs, the first questions to my mind was where is the problem?? Is auto tuning forbidden in reggae? I felt disappointed about your review. It's like you invite the readers to dinner and asked them to pay as they leave!!! Ray Darwin is one of my favorite artist. Ede style.. |

Posted by donatien on 08.03.2011 | |
Except "Time Flies" and "Dutty Jonhcrow" there is not auto-tune at all. Ray is an artist who make a lot of harmonies (dubplates sessions with him are more like a real studio session). It may be that makes you think there is too much Auto Tune :) Nuff respect to Ray and his positive lyrics far away for the reggae "cliche" :) |

Hi, a short little update on the Compassionate Campaign. As the world spins into turmoil, here\'s another side of the coin... So far we are sending the album \"Nine Signs & Heavy Bliss\" to five people who have all gone beyond their comfort zo...ne and reached out to a fellow being just because they can. I think I can speak for all in saying that the joy derived from this is of another quality. A boundless and unlimited one. This is one of the stories received, we got Lindsays permission to share it with all of you along with her pledge for sending her niece to a Youth Enrichment Camp. Come forward with your story, the more the merrier! / Jonahgold =========== You all are so sweet. This summer, I raised $1200.00 soliciting friends and relatives online and used that money to take my 3 nieces to summer camp for the first time ever. They are 10, 7, and 5 and have recently been removed from their Mother\'s home due to severe neglect and abuse. I arranged scholarships for camps so that the $1200.00 could go a far way, as some of the camps were originally $600.00 per week. This summer between the 3 of them, they went kayaking on the San Juan Islands, performed on a professional stage with professional actors, dancers and singers, made beautiful art pieces, (some of which are now hanging in children\'s are installment in a rea; gallery), went to the zoo, petted animals and learned about them, went swimming, went to a children\'s museum, learned gymnastics, learned about healthy food and eating, talking about how to deal with drug and alcohol pressures and had sleepovers and auntie and uncle\'s house. It has been a very rewarding summer. Thank you for the opportunity for free music and a chance to talk about this amazing experience, as it was truly that for me as well.. Blessings, Lindsay Love Manager / NWWRF.com 2011 \"It takes a whole village to raise a child\" ================ Help my niece attend a Youth Enrichment Camp My niece was removed from her Mother’s home this past winter because of severe neglect and abuse. She had lived with these conditions for almost 10 years at that point. During her short life she has cared for her Mother and her four siblings while enduring drug abuse, emotional and physical abuse in her own home. Your raffle dollars will help get her to YES! Camp this summer to learn the tools she will need to move past these experiences and become a happy, well adjusted adult.

Mi sa huge fan of your father "the great Peter Tosh". I love his lyrics,his highly spirited rythym and conciously packaged reggea music "blackman music". I was told he came to my country Nigeria in the 70s when I was a kid to see his friend T-mac. I will like you to always keep the fire burning unadultrated. May his soul rest in peace..... |

I first heard about Claudius when they had finished "Sign Time" and it was getting ready to be released. The Baltimore City Paper did a front page article about it, and I scooped up Sign Time and Roots Master. Both discs were (and continue to be) very special to me, something about his journey, combined with his music, really struck a nerve. Last I had heard, Claudius was fixing his home after a hurricane, and Jonah was planning on bringing him up to Baltimore for some concerts. After nothing happened with it, I stopped checking. I see this, now, and realized that he was in Baltimore, and homeless, when I was working in homeless services. You always wish you can help more people, but I really would have liked to have been there for him in his hour of need. Kingman, gone but not forgotten. |

Joel was the sweetest guy. He had a good heart. I grew up with Joel when he was a teenager. He loved his family. He was never a fighter. He looked out for his younger brothers and sisters. This is a great tragedy for his family. He didn't deserve to go so violently. Joel was the pride of VP. He carried the torch. We will miss him dearly. |

Your songs: its not easy, the way it is, touch your dream, remember me and freedom made me lose tears at many occassions because of the passion in them! I will never stop playing lucky dube, my passion for your songs will not cease! The rastars never die, you live on in our hearts. Once again, RIP! |

I think the album on the whole is great and there is clearly a story behind every track. Cool style and wicked lyrics too. MrQuick did you even listen? As for the patwa comment isn't that something which could be said about basically all non-Caribbean reggae? To me it seems more like adapting the flow to the style of music. |

Sizzla, great artist but can't overstand why he went to perform for Mugabe anniversary, as Mugabe is best friend of Mengistu and gave him asylum in Zimbabwe ! Yes Mengistu the murderer of His Majesty Selassie I. The security at Sizzla shows there, was provided by Chipangano thugs that everyone knows are vicious and violent, rapers and murderers feared by all !! Google Mugabe and Hitler and you will find the speech with Mugabe proud to be considered the Hitler of Africa ! And Sizzla, yes, a real great artist, have no sufficient knowledge to know all these ? Why spreading a message pro Mugabe ? It is just show ignorance. Why he runs straight to the arms of this bloody dictator ? He thinks it is the people choice in Zimbabwe ? A democratic choice? We are tired of artists that don't have the courage to speak differently ....to speak about the dictators in Africa. Those who steal the wealth of Africa are now Africans .... Selassie I |

I beg to differ. While I kinda like this album it is DESPITE the participation of D. Marley, who, in my humble opinion, is monotone, monochord and very very boring after 2 minutes of him. I would much prefer hear more Mick Jagger and the Indian dude... |

I wonder if the second album Junior Murvin recorded for Lee Perry will ever see the light of day??? |
Posted by Losman on 10.21.2011 | |
Yes! This confirms the feeling I've had all along - that NOTHING will ever replace the heartical vibe that comes from a group of musicians playing together on real instruments. I have been a reggae musician for 33 years, inspired by the pioneers of this music, back when the message and the spirit of it were deemed important. I have held on to that spirit through all of reggae's mutations and have refused to give in to fashion. For I, it is conscious roots and culture, Nyabinghi vibration from Creation! |

Good question. I spoke with David Katz, Perry's biographer about this and he says that several singles (Bad Weed/Closer Together, Crossover/I'm In Love, the bootleg/dubplate Rasta Get Ready) have surfaced. However, these may have just been sessions Junior cut at the Black Ark after the first album rather than sessions for the second album, and may not have used Ax of Jahpostles band. The mastertapes for the album could have been lost, buried or distributed to a variety of different sources, so the mystery remains... |

BAYSIDE ROCKS FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19TH, 2011 HAS BEEN POSTPONED. MIAMI, FL (November 18, 2011) - The 2nd Annual Bayside Rocks Festival has been official POSTPONED until further notice. Every effort is being made to secure a make up date. Due to unforeseen complications with the festival’s headliners Bunny Wailer & Luciano, producers of festival felt they had no other choice but to postpone the event. Bunny Wailer has cancelled all of his upcoming international show dates due to an undisclosed medical condition. Additionally it was just discovered that the second headliner, Luciano, is unable to travel to the United States due to a serious legal issue. All ticket holders will receive a full refund from the original point of purchase. Bayside Rocks Festival Producer Alfonso D’Niscio Brooks has issued the following statement: “It is with deep regret that I tell you all of my disappointment in having to postpone Bayside Rocks on Saturday. I feel defeated and know I have failed you all. I humbly ask that you accept my apologies and your understanding as I journey thru this trying moment. Everything happens for a reason I am often told. In watching the things that have transpired I will only accept that the Most High has a different plan. I accept that my life is in Divine Order thus today I was only granted the best possible result that could have happened for my life. In moving forward please note that we will be in touch with everyone to handle any concerns or issues that need to be addressed. I thank you for supporting us in all the ways you did. We will find another way to feed the hungry for Thanksgiving as we reschedule the event. Please everyone that bought an advance ticket you must return to your point of purchase for a complete refund. Thank you for taking the time to read this humble note. One Love. “ We ask that all vendors, sponsors and participants with vested interests in the festival to be patient and know all issues will be handled individually by Friday November 25th, 2011 For additional information about the 2011 Bayside Rocks Music & Arts Festival contact us at 305-763-4509, email info@baysiderocksfestival.com or go to www.baysiderocksfestival.com For media inquiries please contact Circle of One Marketing at 305-576-3790 |

"When running a restaurant you can’t only cook what you like. You have to be current and you have to be on top.” With all respect- if you love what you do and put your heart into it people will listen. Good chefs cook for love and love what they cook or the restaurant fails. Same for music. |

Brilliant album- well worth a listen or ten!!! |

Disappointing imho. The riddim is lame, like almost all of this so called new-roots/one drop scene, mechanical, soul-less. Makes me miss her songs with Sly & Robbie. |
Posted by johnbless on 11.23.2011 | |
I agree too. Your heart must be truly in that which you love, perfect to impeccability that which you love most and really and truly the best will be apparent even from the harshest of critics. It applies in carriers, professions, hobbies etc etc. That"s why there are gifts, talents, abilities and capabilities so to speak. A jack of all trades in an area that requires specialty is a failure. The same is applies to music as well |

It still is a joke. Israel Vibration's album is one of their worst albums they ever made. Monty Alexander and Shaggy ??? Are you kidding me ?? Shaggy is popmusic.. Bun Down Grammy Prices .. Big Joke to me... |
Posted by MrQuick on 12.03.2011 | |
Monty's album is pretty good. IV, Shaggy suck big time. The Marleys continue to put out crappy albums year in year out (ZM's album is not even "reggae" anymore). Out of this list, I'd vote for Monty. Alpheus is the best release in 2011. |
Posted by dreader on 12.03.2011 | |
Alright, I understand your points of view. But just listen to Stephen Marley's album once again... it's just awesome. It would be on my short list too :-) But it's not good for such a versatile genre like reggae, when always the same name wins, that's true. I don't know what you have against the Israel Vibration output. I like it a lot. It fits in well with the older albums. They'd deserve a grammy. Don't know if they ever won one? Monty Alexander did a lot for the reggae-jazz fusion. He'd deserve to get more publicity for that. Finally... you wrote how the procedure is. First you need to send your album to the grammy-dudes. So you need to have a management next to you, people who pushes you. That's why a horrible album like Shaggy's on the list too. I really don't know how many reggae artistes did that. I'm not sure if Sizzla sent a copy of his two outputs this year; and I'm quite sure that Takana Zion (great album!) and Alpheus didn't do that among others ;-) You cannot even buy the Alpheus album on iTunes in my country. So, enough said bout that. |

Can You by the way post your own list here???? |
Posted by rootsman on 12.05.2011 | |
Dreader.. You are right bout the Steven Marley album. Thats a great album in the tradition his father used to do it. Personally I think after Apple left the group, things were never the same anymore for IV, they sound uninspired and with no power...Its just so sad to see so much artists and smaller labels with a real reggae hart not getting the attention they deserve.. |

When people are forced to play music to 'save' it, it marginalizes both the old and new. I suggest covering classics as a way to introduce the roots to the leaves. The disk jockey's job is not to keep the old relevant but to entertain. IMHO. |

Posted by jah mangrove on 12.08.2011 | |
I bought Blood of the saint first time around 1982, I have followed the roots artist, the ghetto sound from about 78. Phillips voice is very distinctive and the sound driving his lyrics is equally as powerful, Perry used to say "music from the street ans lyric from the ghetto. The songs on here are all direct, no nonsense pieces of absolute perfect dimention. Bold like a lion with a theme like zion.sometime an artist has a good voice but isnt suited to the "riddim" Phillip and his sound are like a man and his shadow. Perfect little slice of ghetto roots with rasta love and carribean fruits. |

Posted by daniel on 12.11.2011 | |
What I like about this album and Perry is that he did not get stuck with one particular sound. What some might consider "shit" others may see past their own pigeon holed ideas of what he "should" sound like and see that the man has continued to move forward. If you want 1973 then listen to 1973, stop trying to force all reggae and dub artists into a one small sound. Makes the genre stale. Great album IMHO, progressive and open minded. |

I was invited there and was totally unimpressed. Terrible sound, all muddled. The only thing you could hear clearly was Horseman's powerful voice. Holly Cook was totally bland and while she sounds nice on her album thanks to excellent production, onstage she does not "have it". Plus, no keyboards??? All the synth parts were pre-recorded, meaning the rest of the instruments had to play their parts, with no possibility of the least change or improvisation. Talk about Reggae being hijacked from its original, free, form.... All in all, this is yet another example of British pop raping Reggae. The audience, typical Paris "in crowd" and not at all a Reggae crowd, liked it of course. They don't like "real" Reggae in the first place... Fya bun! |
Posted by Strongtree on 12.14.2011 | |
I agree with MrQuick about the new roots! Alot of the one drop riddims that are coming out of Jamaica are very weak sounding like soft pop reggae which I can't stand and where's the heavy bass that reggae was known for gone? It's a shame because alot of the roots vocals to these weak riddims are truly great! PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE REGGAE MUSIC!!!!! |

Not usually the thing to do when one has reviewed the album, but I'm coming in from the 'as a fan of the sound' perspective.. I'm really into this, it's creative to the max, I would of liked to see this in iTunes and on CD, it's too good to be given away (with respect) very niceness. |

This album is partly recorded with a French backing band and honestly I can't tell the difference with the Jamaican musicians. This shows how much Jamaican productions have declined vis a vis European ones, and not how much progress has been achieved by Europeans. Sad. When is Jamaica going to reject this lame-ass nu-roots sound? We need the Roots Radics, the Aggrovators or the Soul Syndicate or the Taxi Gang back into the arena. |

I know that the article says Dancehall, but they are many types of dancehall in the list the good ones in my oponinion are, the summertime riddim and Blaze Fia! Dancehall covers a big range nowadays, they were many riddims in 2011 that were worth the mention. What about the BBQ Riddim, Bubble Gum Riddim, World Citizen Riddim this riddim and the ones I mention are not just roots they are dancehall! |

All the above are official releases either or both on CD and download stores. s. |

I never like to say anyone has NO talent - and in this case, there's clearly some ability - she's not off key (the worst infraction), and I agree with Denja: there's some youthful enthusiasm. I think it's important for the younger generation to take on the music in whatever way they are able. She could be doing anything with her time (and her image(!), which is on point, by the way), and she's trying to make upful Reggae music. Remember, everything we say - especially on the web - lasts for ever...so WE try to keep it positive. |

I love this song!!! I can't stop listening to it! It's so smooth, sensual and melodic. Faraji's exceptional & sultry vocals take you on a sensual journey. Ladies, listening to this song, feels like Faraji is making love to you. Brilliant production as well! So, if you love Soul & Reggae rhythms and a hot vocalist, then this is a must buy!!! |

I was privilidged to be part of this festival, however I must say it has been tainted by one of the officiators Ms Morgan, dispicable behaviour towards another... Cyber Bullying is a crime!!!....This is what I have witnessed on Facebook recently coming from an 'adult' Woman!! not a child: - malicious, spiteful, mean, nasty, hateful, malevolent, malignant, bitter, acrimonious, rancorous, venomous, vindictive, defamatory, slanderous, scandalous, rotten, bitchy words.. from one fellow Jamaican/african woman to another:- I am deeply ashamed, the sister needs to ask God for forgiveness....and stop this reign of hatred and folks need to stop encouraging her it is a disgrace to the black race..... Sorry my brothers but this had to be said, too many people are afraid to speak up..... As she is an employee of Ariwa this needs to be dealt with as some speed.. Thank you |
Posted by joe okech on 02.15.2012 | |
A good album though the artist since the artist is nearly on every new riddim it hardly listens as new material but as a compilation. Safe fate like Tarrus Riley. They should not be putting songs that have appeared on riddims on their albums. |

"the locals seemed a bit baffled by the style" : sounds quite normal as none of the artists on the line-up of that festival is part of the artists loved by the Gambian people, or artists which they normally listen to. From the line-up I only see Macka B or Tippa Irie who could create some interst from the Gambian Massive but no-one else. Veteran Frankie Paul is well respected over there but as far as he does live there, most of the people have had the habit of seeing him live on the President's events. Would be fine if the next edition of the festival hads a programmation not only aimed at the foreign audience but also the local massive. Turbulence was for a moment on the line-up and is a fine example of the vibes the Gambian massive love, but he unfortunately wasn't confirmed. Big Up to Mad Professor still. |

Wonderful article which is truly reflective of the good times we had at the Festival. I am so proud to have been part of it, and I never missed a night. Contrary to the report above using the psuedonym "Sanghor Kansas" aka Velma Wright, Ms Morgan has been exemplary, superb. She ensured our well being from start to finish and was always on hand from promoted, which she did with passion, till the day we left. I've read Velma Wrights diatribe and scandalous cowardly attacks hiding on Facebook hiding behind names like Vee Vacious, Velma Wright, Back to Roots Sangohor, (Sanghor) Kansas. Having stolen funds from Mrs Morgan and ran back to England. She was the only one in Duty Free paying for her alcohol with £20 notes and her shorts hitched up in her backside despite -16 temperature in London. She should apologise to Ms Morgan and go to church to repent for her deviant behaviour. |

You notice this article didn't discuss the food, shopping or location. The only good thing that occurred was the music. The food was horrible, they had roach coaches! It was too crowded, the beer garden as they called it didn't allow you to walk around with your beer you had to stay in one area and then you were kicked out if you were in there too long. There were only about 6 booths selling items that were way too expensive! I miss the Long Beach Raggamuffins Fest! |

Apparently 'Life Teaching' is suppose to promote a positive message. Another artists that promote the hatered of gays and lesbians. He recently used the song 'Burn Down Soddom' to promote discrimination onstage durning his North American tour (probably the same patern in Europe). For some reggae fans, this type of speech is tolerated and even appreciated, but this can have drastic repercution in some countries like Jamaica. Just recently, there was two violent death of gay men. It's impossible to establish a link between homophobic songs and violent actions, but one thing is sure, this doesn't help the difficult situation in the Caribbean. I-Wayne is not the worst when it comes to homophobic songs, but he seems to be going in a similar path like Sizzla. Some will say that the level of homophobia in the Caribbean is cultural. To this I reply: hatered is not cultural, it must be challenged and specially not honoured. On our side of the Atlantic, what we could do socialy is boycott people who hold hate speech. Discrimination and violence targeted towards gay people is something that shouldn't be promoeted. In the lyrics are available on the website Murder Inna Dancehall in the SONGS & LYRICS section. (the website can easily be found through Google). Yesterday I was watching the reggae movie Cool Runnings. At one poin, the coach (John Candy) ask one of the racer what Cool Runnings means? Than Derice reply: Peace be the journey. |

Lucky Dube was very powerful in the reggae music in the world. After Bob Marley he became the king of this kind of music. His messages were very deep. He claimed peace, love, respect, dignity human and so on. Lucky you still alive in my brain and you will never die. Rest and peace my Blada. |

I do think autotune is a part of modern reggae albeit overused. There is also the question of how well these songs will stand up in live performance but that is not relevant to the album review. |

I was there at Petrol. Masterful performance. One thing he certainly does different from his peers is building slowly and craftly on his carier. He doesn't do 4 albums per year and mustn't have a new hit every week. No, it's only his fourth album in 6 years. And it's even recycling older material. He knows his songs and he knows how to keep them alive. Bless up. |

Not sure how I feel about this one, I both like it and hate it at the same time :D Remixing is a dirty business, one wrong move and you got all the haters ganging up on you. I'm making some music on my own (with Dr Drum http://beatartisan.com/review/dr-drum because I'm a beginner :D ) and I can attest how easy it is to ruin a song completely... I think the key part to do a good remix is to identify the "soul" of the song and work around it, and never try to change it into something its not. |

Am so so so happy to know about Nkulee Dube. In my whole life, I have love the music from Lucky Dube. He has always and will always be my best artist. I have always everyday listened to his songs. He visited my country twice(Uganda), but I was young to recognise his message but would mumble on the beats. I was waiting to see him whatever cost if he ever returned back to his fan base. Sincerely I feel so blessed to know about Nkulee, please lift the flag higher. I remember I always listened to his music while I was in Europe especially Poland and my Polish friends would see me dancing and wondered the kinda of music I was always listening to. One friend asked me to let him listen to the rythym which I accepted, I told them about this reggae Icon, the best song I always listened to is Different Colors, my friends loved this song and secretly loved it and to my surprise when I returned to Uganda, they sent me a T-Shirt with the Words different colors, one people together with a joine flag of Uganda and Poland. Stay blessed, know that I am one thy souls following thee. Want to get thy music. If you come to Uganda, u will never be disappointed the love for thy father will be bestowed to thee. Now am in Dubai. |

I agree with what Iwanye says about many topics! I thought I loved Soca until I got a boyfriend who loved it more than me, he made me hate it more than I can imagine now. It is not easy to tell the truth and Iwayne is right all the way. The devil uses Soca to ruin families, relationships and tEKK fathers and mothers further away from there kids. Soca Music is DEBAUCHERY ACCEPT IT. Love you Iwayne for saying the truth. |

In Nigeria, we hardly gets the kind of music tony tuff, frankie paul, ranking joe, sugar minott, general trees, flour gan, ranking toyan, jah thomas, billy boyo, josy wales, dillinger, tonto irie, clement irie, tippa irie, necodemus, sister nancy, leroy smart, leroy sibblies, sanchez, u brown, micheal prophet, micheal smith, micheal rose, ranking dread, big youth, general echo, i roy, u roy, asher senetor, smiley culture, denise brown, lone ranger, little john, ranking nigger, tappa zukie, barry bum, barry brown, lovinder. Reggae is the voice of righteousness. Reggae music is people‘s voice. Reggae music is the voice of the people. |

Scientist has been getting paid royalties on records that bear his name from Greensleeves since they came out in the early 80's. He has always cashed their checks and never complained till Junjo died so that he could try to capitalize on the Junjo not being there to call him a liar. maybe all you fanboys should check for the thread on the snwmf.com forum where people Scientist ripped off for dubs he never delivered voice their complaints. |

So Third World started their US career at the shattuck down low? And what year would that be? Ha ha ha ha Third World was here long before there was a shattuck down low. maybe your writers could do some fact checking? |
Posted by jb welda on 07.11.2012 | |
It has been pointed out to me that in fact that place, the down low, may well have been in operation way back then, the 70s, as the passand lounge. its just much more likely they (third world) would have performed at the greek theatre (on a reggae fest day) or at the keystone or the bsquare or somewhere there were reggae shows being put on in the end of the seventies until the 90s. so i must concede i am not 100% positive that the article is incorrect, i just find it very hard to believe as a long time bay area resident. And from what i hear one of them said that in the press tent in their late night interview session, which i hear was something in itself. Regardless of that, this outfit came well into my second tier of artists i wanted to see this year and their candy covered sound didnt do much for me. unlike jimmy cliff the next night who i didnt expect much from but who was astoundingly good and accompanied by an ace outfit. |

Hi JB Welda, thanks for that info. Third World said Shattuck in the interview and I accidentally added the Down Low when I was writing the article. Whatever the exact location, I think we can all appreciate that the Bay Area was integral to the launching of Third World's U.S. career! |

Dezarie definitely touched me. Her lyrics get deeper than any other reggae musician today (except of midnite). But english is not my 'native' language, that's why sometimes I have difficulties to overstand the whole lyrics of a song. If someone could pass me the lyrics of 'trying to be god' I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you. Keep on letting the good vibes flow |

I am Romaine Davy from Sedburgh district, and to tell you all out there Matthew was a very humble person I knew him and his brother Ishmel from primary school, Christiana leased primary school, both brothers were always in music from a tender age. It's really sad what happened, he was always in my community all the time. He actually lived there for some time as well he gave no trouble, he get along well with all the persons living there. He was always singing at the square, he was a the type a person that all could reason with. We played football but music was and is always his comfort. Matthew and his family have always got the higest level of respect in both spring ground and Sedburgh. He will be missed. RIP. |

Ever since his passing I always wonder how his children and band members doing. Well I am so happy to know that they all doing very well thanks to God. I am living in the British Virgin Islands and I will love for one day to see Nkulee Dube perform here at the music fest just like your father did. Nuff respect. One love. |

But Check the music now, compare the music of today with the oldies and be honest, which era sounds better? People are not stuck in the old days, artist nowadays are not rising to the occasion and writing good songs. Damian Marley is a good artist, but a lot of his success is because of his father. One of the major problem is, the radio disc jockeys, such as Irie Fm and others have helped killed the music. This payola business is rediculous. You don't believe me? There are a lot of great reggae songs sitting on the shelf in the radio stations. They won't play it if the artist and managers don't run money on some of the prominent Djs. Black people are corrupted against each other, from Jamaica to Africa. All we do is exploit each other rather than to build our economy and stregthen our market. The only thing we have is our music, jamaica doesn't export anything the world really needs. Our culture is dying, remember? Ghetto youths don't have any big education and Bob Marley and other legends gave us this music so ghetto youths can help themselves and what has happen now? Money, it becomes more important to individuals, and over the years of this exploitation look what has happened. Bob marley would be ashamed to see the current stages we are in. |

Hi, Sista Sensi. I would apreciate if you can tell me who is the reggae female artist, who had in the year 1986 (more or less) a reggae song with the following lyrics: "I just looooove you, I just loooove you ... You're light of my life reeeegae night ...". You can send me the answer to my e-mail (mimar20@yahoo.com). If you have the song in mp3 format, it will be a blast for me. Thank you in advance for your time. = Marian - from SPAIN/Madrid = (my request is available for future's viewers as well) |

I disagree with your comment about Peter's voice being slightly rougher than Lloyds- I think the opposite... but this is down to individual opinion -they both have amazing voices that are simialiar in range, I agreeLlloyd Brown's track know yourself (duet with Peter Spence version) shows how well these two beautiful voices flow into each other - their voices in this track send shivers down my spine.. Let's hope there is a second album soon.. & more duets with Lloyd Brown. |

'Exactly which fuzz pedal do I need to use so that my music fits in with all the other old-sounding stuff?' 'I want to make a record I can sell digitally. Where can I buy a Rhodes organ to play my simple bubble on.' Reggae is dead because innovation isn't tolerated in musicians. Anything that sounds any different to 'rootsy' 70s stuff is immediately labeled as inferior. 2 chords and a single root note for the bass guitar, and provided you're using all the old style instruments, you're onto a winner. Musical content, originality, using different gear is all disdained. It was once progressive and hi-tech! Now it's finished because of dumb listeners and 2-hits-and-I'm-a-Rasta 'reggae producers'. |

I am really upset from the way you allow yourself to talk about band like Midnite! You have no right to say anything about their unique style not to mention that you talk about sing-a-long choruses?? Yuh maad play some UB 40 then.... Midnite is the highest level of roots reggae and nobody is deeper than dem! Not only now but EVER! United Reggae is read from many people all over you should spread all the Midnite music you can not only some sweet tunes with good hooks... Think bout it ! An SHAME ON YOU ! |

I was born and raised in Kilburn..in militant barrys house..so I remember what tappa is talkin bout..I had and still hav big lips...so he use to call me Papa Lips.. Remember papa was the dj name them times... I move with milltant Barrys older son Tony who now sings with the English beat... We use to play football across the road from Barrys house blacks vs white and along would come Tappa, Barry and the late Keith Hudson they would call us over and say if you beat the white kids you will get a pound.. Them time a pound was paper money and you could get nuff sweets with it.. So we step up our game and thrash da white boys... Get our money and go buy custard cream biscuits and 2 fizzy drink (me and Tony that is).. I knew Tappa and Barry was in the music business but not like how I'm readin it as a grown 44 year old man... As you grow old you move on.. And I never saw Tappa 4 a while.. Till I went to get a draw down all saints road in the earley 80s and there he was on the corner toasting to him self in his flair trouse and waist coat.. He said Papa Lip. Wha gwan.. Wha Tony da...I was proper glad he remembered me coz I was with a sound man at the time (bigga ranks.. Aiwa promotion sound).. After we left Tappa the sound man couldnt belive I knew such a man.. I didn't think it was a big deal.. It was just Tappa to me... Then he start tell me bout tune he producd that I played but didn't know he had a hand in.. (man did I feel proud that day) ....year went by and Tony (Militants Barrys son) emergated to the states in 88... 2009 comes along and Tony comes to check his Kilburn peeps and Tappa happened to be performing in Camden jazz café.. So we go and support him... We go backstage to check him and he looks at tony and says.. Ah no di yoot dat use to hang round number 14, Tony says yes, Papa Lips... There again I was so happy he remembered me.. The fuckin guys a legend and long may he live... Lookin forward to a album every year Tappa... We will link up some how.... From Papa Lips aka Countryman.. from Kilburn. |

I seriously doubt it is dying but the slump it is in right now is because folks aint buying music or magazines. I mean, a genre with not even one English spoken magazine dedicated to it? That's sad and us fans are to blame. I don't buy that there is no good music coming out, there is more good music now than ever, it may be burried in tons of crap but it's there. Reggae has the most sorry fans ever, let's rise to the ocasion and start supporting acts and labels with our hard earned cash. |

It started to wane in the early 80s, with advent of dancehall scene. I was getting so tired of hearing a thousand and one so-called tunes featuring the same rhythm, over and over again. The sadist thing is, that those who invented and originated many of these rhythms did not receive royalties for their work they put in creating these rhythms that are now over 30 and 40 years old. Even today, many radio djs simply play cut after cut of a popular rhythm and refused to play anything with the slightest bit of creativity. There is good music around that is both original and creative, but you don't tend to hear it on the radio these days. How can reggae music be taken seriously if there is no creativity or originality, and all the industry can produce is cut after cut of the same rhythm? Nowadays you have several artists on one rhythm track which all sounds the same, to me, anyway. Also there aren't many good songwriters around as there once was. There use to be a very elitist attitude that thought only good reggae could be only be made and produced in Jamaica, but increasingly that is not the case nowadays because I've heard some very good reggae coming from all around the world, which is both creative and original. The whole industry needs a major re-assessment of where it is going. There is not even one major record label out there that can promote and managed the artists, like say Motown did for soul and its black artists since its existence. That is both sad and pitiful because what seems to be in place is a collection of individuals all doing their own thing. Only time will tell if the dry rot continues to take whole of this beautiful music. |
Posted by Christoffer on 12.29.2012 | |
Although i think the blame is mostly on us fans who isn't supporting what is out there the industry has one major shortcoming. Why is there so very little of interest being released on Cd nowadays? One has to look to vinyl for anything truly worthwhile and how many are willing to do that today? I recently invested in record players, mixer, a pre-amp and bad ass speakers but how many are willing to do that today? Is the vinyl loving soundsystem scene really that big today to sustain the scene? |

I'm finding it difficult to talk about Lloyd (Charmers) Tyrell with just a few words. His production of my hit songs "Thinline Between Love & Hate" & "Summertime" speaks for it self. Our association as the Messengers feat. Ken Boothe, the late Busty Brown & myself is a testimony of our musical relationship and forming Splash label... He will never be forgotten... God rest his soul..... |

Spot on for Mr Fearon and the proof is in the pudding. Mr Fearon states view t eloquently, simple and clearly. I've been a reggae lover now for 30 years and have been working on the Reggaegeel festival for 25 year. And It took me a while to realize that what Mr Fearon says is very true. When I am being asked by journalists as to why Bob Marley is so popular. I want to say : "Open your eyes". A true message to which everybody can relate and in words that everybody on this planet can understand, no. And a few well aimed chords. And his charisma off course. Anyway nuff respect to everyone above here, you're all true. Bless. |

Agreed. Ernie seems to me a square dealing man. I have dealt with him many times as a customer; good prices, very good service, and he seems to have a genuine passion for the music, which comes through in his correspondence. I respect the Spear as a man and a musician, and with Ernie B's being high profile I wonder if he is not just an easy target when seeking a scapegoat for falling record sales. Hard to say without more information. Hope it gets cleared up as both parties are vital to real reggae music. |

For me Gregory Isaacs is the greatest. Not only in reggae - He is the greatest of them all. With that said, I looked in to this project with suspicion, and not a small portion of it. That was a couple of months ago. But after that I listened to the mix of Private Beach Party I was real glad and anxious to end up in April when the CD should be released. I booked the CD on the day of the release and now I'm sitting in Sweden and counting hours to get my copy. Love this project! I'm glad that the songs on it is not the "common" ones. But I, on my hand, would love some others of Mr. Isaacs great catalogue of tracks mixed for a new generation. This project is worthy. And Gregory is worthy it. And more. More Gregory! |

Ray Hurford has quite a catalog of magazines and books. Ray Hurford worked with Tero, Beth Kingston, John Massouri, Colin Moore, Dennis Alcapone, Penny Reel, and recently Chuck Foster. Ray writes, but he also creates music, researches musical issues, and collaborates with others. One very devoted writer. I feel fortunate to have worked with Ray myself. Years ago he encouraged me to interview Coxsone Dodd - I took his advice. His books area available at his website http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/smallaxe/ |

Hi, I wrote computer rise. The critical remarks are fair enough, its no easy task to try and condense the history of a genre of music into the allowed page count by Red Bull. I submitted a nine page article and they edited down and they put in all the graphics. You can argue the choices I made to try and pick a tune from each time period were nonsense, they may not have changed things in terms of some groundbreaking innovation, but they evolved to a level that the subsequent studio styles became a standard, as new technology trickled in (as he says lagging behind foreign studios). I guess it's fair to be accused of perpetuating myths of the Tubby board, but we don't really know one way or the other really what he did, but enough Jamaican scholars told me of his customizing of studio gear. The intent of the article was not to write a technical manual of how music was made but how it went from skins and wood to computer programs and to try and document some of the highlights in between. I tried to find songs that I connected with that exemplified this evolution in the technology of the music. This was written as a fan of the music, not a producer, musician or insider, and I thank you for the feedback. |

Love Jah9, she is a beautiful sister but we must never judge seen the part of her reasoning where she is saying I am not talking about those rastas that is saying burn this and burn that I am talking about the real rastafarians... That statement is wrong love her she is a real artist but we must speak without offending especially, regarding our rastafari brothers and sisters this fire must burn if you have a different approach so what???? Everyone does there thing different we just need the oneness the togetherness and always show the love Jah bless. |

I don't agree with this article. Namaan lyrics are very poor and IMO he should learn to speak English because it's not very nice to hear for the moment... Anyway, as he recorded in Jamaica, a lot of people go into extasies listening to Namaan but to be honest I dont understand why... There a lot of artists working for years who haven't the luck to get the same exposure.. Why Europeans/US white reggae artists/singer - like Matysiahu, Groundation..- are often featured like Namaan since few months ? (No racism here, just question) |

@Noteasy2say... My story is exactly the same as yours. I agree Soca is full of DEBAUCHERY. They claim there is no violence such as gun shot at the fete!, but! The silent killer here is the fact that the Soca does not unite families, it separates them. The dance in it's self is disgusting and piggish! Dem fool wa say "Those who don't have soca in their lives are miserable" Chooopppseee... Dem pigs lay wit pigs, deh dutty and have the nerve speak Jah's name in vain. Reggae, conscious reggae is a beautiful inspirational thing. You can bring your children around it without fear of them hearing nasty tings. |
Posted by Jahson on 06.11.2013 | |
Cérébos, You express exactly the criticism that this young artist will receive blindness rigid concepts of images that can be done Reggae (and the expression of art in general). The feelings of the people in Naaman, it is precisely this new artistic vibration, fresh, generous and shared (disturbing for some). This young man has absorbed the legacy of reggae 60/70. It projecte us this strength, this vibrational energy and transformation that pushes through his spiritual quest, authenticity, truth and sharing. It appears to us, naked, without camouflage and without cheating with his stick pilgrim and his desire to travel and meetings (I myself crossed his smile and kindness in a studio in Kingston). He just slung his immense talent that oozes everywhere and it twists the guts. What is interesting is that this transmission of values and truths of reggae has made regardless of skin color and origins. This mixed color black and white Bob Marley ... That's why people are attracted to the light from Naaman and do not care about the color of his skin and the English language become. Attention emmergence a great artist in the making and processing, do not miss out on. |

Cerebos and Rootical, stop masturbating you with his English. He is young and it will change. I am a journalist and I was invited to go to his concert at the New Morning on Thursday night. I did not know Naaman. Well, it was great as I would have never imagined. He made everyone agree. My colleagues and I were on the ass. Naaman comes into force by his enormous talent and incredible energy. People were in a trance. It was a moment of madness. So stop talking nonsense and you will see, you will be ok soon, too! Do not miss the train! |

Dear Sam. Personal taste is something you can not Discuss. Some people like Naaman and some people don't. In my case I really don't. Simply the title Deep Rockers - Back a Yard.. Sounds like Vanilla Ice saying - Straight outta Compton. |
Posted by Sam on 06.23.2013 | |
OK Rootical. Know that Naaman was born in Dieppe. Dieppe has Deep in English. Deep Rockers is a pun. You do not know the artist and you get trapped. Sam Clayton, Stephen Steward and musicians Sly Dunbar, Daniel "Axeman" Thompson, Dalton Browne will be pleased to have worked with a man in vanilla ice cream. They, who are a little reggae expert claimed talent Naaman. Now, OK, tastes and colors are not discussed and that's fine. But we must be honest and not break an artist simply because they do not appreciate his music. Before criticizing and especially criticize negatively, push your analysis further if you do not want to say bullshit. Another time, wait to see them live to understand the man. |

Wish I could flip a coin and whoever gets heads between Dave and Roger should call the other and just hash it out, duke it out, whatever. They should keep going until they find the common ground they once had. After all, we're never to old to grow up~growing pains do hurt though! I hope when all is said and done, they find that peace, love and unity and it's a very important message!!! friendship is important too! I doubt, however, their is a #1 beat song without each other. just an idea and an opinion.. c'mon! wha'happened? i don't want to necessarily know that either; that's between them (and should be). life is too short and dreams can be cut short too, but there is a lack of peace, love and unity and their "once upon a time" seemingly synergy seemed to work to bridge music cultures and diminish racial divisiveness. |

The guy here is trying to make an effort comparing two albums by a great singer. This is a crucial album in my opinion in defining the European sound VS the V.I sound (Midnite, Abja, Army) Caribbean sound, the heaviest sound nowadays. ..THERES NO COMMENT "NEW SCROLL" is one of the best albums in 2013 if not the best in the las couple of years, more ROOTS AND culture with even more flavor than the last album like this "Earl Zero - And God Said To Man"..and if nobody has notice IGRADE-ZION I KINGS have reach new limits bringing New Old reggae.....Virgin Island Sound is smashing up the competition!! |

I would have to say that this is not a comparison between EU vs V.I.! Zion I Kings is not an exclusive Virgin Islands Label. Out of a group of five close bredren, only one lives in the VI and is not actually from VI. I don't feel like recent ZIK productions cannot be compared to albums done by (Midnite, Abja, Army), totally different time and space, although their influence has evolved from such. Roots music is international and without borders, especially in today's productions. Zion I kings represents internationally from the US, VI, EU, and JA, and Jamaica nor VI can claim any one sound is theirs. Music is for all and made by all! Remember this is kings music, and the King's music is higher than nations and borders. Ras Tafari Selassie the 1st and last without beginning or end! |

Posted by DUBTOR on 08.02.2013 | |
First of all. the last album from Army, Abja, Midnite have come out from ZIK.. Second their sound has been defining V.I vibe for a couple of years now, including other labels, such as RastafarIa and many others.. I'm telling this cause I live in Puerto Rico, an island very very near by.. So I get my hands on their material very often... 3rd of All the distinctive sound form the V.I is very clear and sound. If you can’t hear it when you hear it.. Still you need to listen to more albums from the Caribean... I’m not saying Roots Music is from here and there.. If just clarifing what every ROotsMan and Dubcollector nowadyas knows.. That the V.I sound is the most similar to the original late 70's - early 80's sound that a many many people agree is the most CRUCIALREGGAE SOUND… and we all know that BDF is trying to get Cornell in the studio to try put some material that can overtop this album.. It just can be done… You would need the Roots Radics to top this album…Seen ? P.S: Yeshua is I&I imperial Majesty. Haile Sellasie was an orthodox Christian. So if u wanna look cool praising Sellasie.. Think again.. Praise HIS majesty Yaweh.. Praise HIM right!! |

To give honours to the people who made Jamaica famous in the world has been too long a time coming. Sadly and very late the country is coming to senses with its own musical heritage. I only wish that the people in Jamaica will one day very soon recognise this too, not only some officials who feel the need to apologise for all the wrongs of the past. A people that forgets about his culture will know no future. |

here is a clarification of some important points, as first pointed out, regarding Abja, Army, and Midnite quote. Latest releases by VI artist and the label; Army - 382 records and Higher bound Abja - Lionz of Kush and Higher Bound Midnite - Last VI album was Igrade records, BUT produced by Andrew Bassie Campbell (A Jamaican Producer) not ZIK. These are not ZIK productions Idren! ZIK sound has evolved from VI influence, listen to New Scroll (some of it recorded in the VI) and compare dem to albums, Midnite - Nemozian Rasta, dat really define the" VI sound". Two different sounds, studios, musicians, and producers. And dema naa trying to recreate dem sound neither, they have dem own TOP NOTCH sound inspired from late 70's - 80's era Rastafari conscious roots. A one drop is a one drop, wether from Jamaica, PR, or VI. A slow Tempo, one drop, and conscious lyrics na make a VI sound. Man and woman have been doing that since the 60's, and before that in Africa. No one person can claim music as theirs, and reggae proves this true. Where was reggae, one drop created? (Jamaica) and who is holding the torch with real conscious one drop music productions consistantly? (The West, na Jamaica) Just to add, some of the first Midnite albums were recorded in Washington D.C., US, and that is were Igrade records and Midnite jump started. I hear just as much American Hip Hop influence in VI roots music as much as Jamaican roots. To me, Abja, Army, and Midnite's recent productions have continue to define the VI sound I n I is talking about. Remember King, Something created out of nothing is against the UNIVERSAL laws of physics! and that is also why many love Selassie, because it brings a real, living, tangible example to many in African Diospora and victims of colonialism. The imaginary idea of Yaweh, God, or whatever, is vague and unclear, leaving man without foundation to be enslaved. Our own perceptions create the idea of god, and for many Selassie is the closest living example for I n I who know the energy he came to offer, without aplogies or allowing the chance for someone else to come along and say, your god is not right! |

Hi Frederick, I've only just been made aware of your post, so apologies for the delay in replying..... I was put on the spot to make a comment about your piece, but I have to say I stand by everything I said.... I sympathise with what you say about having to condense things, but what I took issue with were the inaccuracies and myths .... a bit of proper research (talk to Jammy, Pat Kelly or Philip Smart for instance) would have at least made you think about sorting out the sense from the nonsense with regards to Tubby's mixer..... and what was the studio gear that he 'customised' ..... and in what way? I'd be interested to know the details ....... and who exactly are these 'Jamaican scholars'.... ???? I may also have been very slightly pissed off that you used my 'map' ..... it wouldn't have hurt to ask, and I might even have able to help you with a couple of things.... ... and do you really think that the Delroy Wilson tune was "a landmark change in the island sound"??? When I started writing about reggae forty years ago - obviously as a fan - there was little or no information about the music, the musicians, the engineers or the way it was made..... but that's really not the case these days, so it really does irritate me that so many fairy stories get told - and retold - until they become the received wisdom ..... mind you, at least then we've all got something to talk about! Good luck with the writing... Cheers, Chris PS..... I'm not always grumpy..... !! |

Hello, I wouldn't have responded to a comment in the first place if I didn't massively respect the person. Chris Lane is something of a hero to me, and the first cut is the deepest! It was Red Bull that did all the images ( I guess they figure it's in the public domain and that artists sample sounds, why can't they sample some images? But again I had nothing to do with the layout or ANY images in the articles), and again they reduced the page number by over half. As I recall we were sending edits back and forth and at one point they just put it up live, and even edited things after the original was posted. I think the editor I dealt with no longer works there. I would say the most credible source that told me that the mixer was in some way modified was from the late Mikey Dread. He referred to himself as a scholar of Jamaican music, and he and someone like Chris Lane or Rodigan, not myself, deserves that title. There is something to presenting the myth of King Tubby, or Scientist or Scratch as something of occult technicians altering imported equipment to get some unique sound. Even if it isn't true, it's part of the folklore of the music and in some ways I am sure Tubby and Mikey Dread cultivated such rumors as a tactic and strategic dissimulation of their simple methods. It's like Biblical scholars get to the point where they deny the main protagonist even existed, but the folklore of Jesus becomes the myth and despite the critical scholars, it becomes A truth, maybe not THE truth. If I have to defend what is purely an opinion on what tunes stand out to me, I think the production in the dub of that Delroy tune was, to my ears, a new level of electro-acoustic dub artistry. It is pretty subjective to draw for tunes that seem to stand out to you as setting a production standard, and for me in that era, that's one of those tunes that hit hard enough to remember as something special. Unfortunately the editors removed the context of about 10 other songs that I tried to build a case for a gradual progression in the dub and mingling with the acoustic and digital. If one picked out a few tracks of jazz or doo wop or blues that stood out to them, legions would no doubt loudly protest their choices. I often wonder at the top five albums pick in Riddim as landmarks, but if it stood out to them then I can not really argue that. I could see any song I picked being the subject of eye rolls and irritation. I could say this song by Clifford Brown changed the trajectory of jazz, where many would scoff at such a choice. It's like picking up a length of chain and saying this link is the strongest. Of all the criticisms of the article this one seems to boil down to individual tastes and impressions. There are so many omissions and people that should have got a mention in that article, but the feedback from scholars like Sonjah Stanley Niaah and others has been very positive. But correcting the record is a priority. I would also add that I don't take any personal irritation over the discussion of historical matters no matter if they are about Jamaican music or the soma plant of the ancient Vedic mystics, and it always puzzles me the way people seem to get angry, upset or irritated over such matters. It's all basically deconstructing myths, it's all shrouded in a certain mystery and lack of details, and vague historical records. I get passionate responses though, of all the writings I have done on very controversial subjects (like Islamic entheogens) this is the only time I have bothered to respond. I would also add that I winced hard when Red Bull called me a Jamaican music scholar, no doubt they took that from googling my name and appropriating the descriptions of myself from other editors in Daoist and tea, ethnobotany journals. My thoughts on this piece is that no one had written or attempted to write the technological evolution of reggae music. The original piece was much more of a stream of conscience, dub- prose attempt to just echo some of the major players and their equipment. I only write on subjects that seem to be neglected or that have not been treated of properly for my own reading and researches. |

Hi Frederick, Thanks for the response.... and the kind words! I understand what you mean about presenting the myth of occult technicians, etc, but have to admit that personally I'd rather have the truth.... perhaps I'm just too much of a pedant! It wasn't clear that you were talking about a dub version of 'Can I Change My Mind" and I don't remember a Channel 1 dub mix from that time, so I'd be interested to hear it .... .... and if you haven't come across the dub article I wrote quite a few years ago (Dub - A Musical Revolution), then I'd be happy to email it to you..... Cheers, Chris |

It’s sad and I cry every day because of him Lucky Dube he is my ideal my hero, he died for what he believe on but he was vulnerable and he trust people not knowing he has enemies because he is an agent of God I belive he is a saint because he did a selfless service. He is a honest man because he propagate the truth, he said and I quote there is no truth in the whole world on quote and I believe him. His date is not a mistake rather was occastrated by the people that doesn’t like him and his agenda. He was so simple man and they killed him because of his vulnerability he was a naturalist, so please if you don’t like my post am sorry but u cant kill me because once beaten twice shy. Am an invisible man am not lucky Dube but I love him. An I champion his opinion but am not venerable.

Can't believe he went out like that! He stayed in 2009 a Summer in our print shop, in Capitol Heights, Maryland. I took him a round to several venues nothing seemed to work till the end of the Summer he stared playing on Reggae night at Carolina KItchen in Hyattsville, Lance London let him play with the regular Reggae band. Things where looking up, and these two White guys from Utah, showed up selling something like a CD rental box not sure if it was REDBOX but something like it. He said this was Gods intervention and that he should travel with them and follow Gods way. I gave him a prepaid sell phone told him to keep in touch. He called his Daughter out west in Seattle or Portland. I talked with her and and told him what he was about to do. She wanted him to stay in Maryland but Claudius, had made up his mind. He and Ian Jones had gotten in to a fight. there is a case in the State of Maryland Judiciary Search site. After a few calls back and forth the CD rental box guys said that they went back to Utah and Claudius was taking a bus to L.A. Claudius, this last producer was not giving any monies from the the sell of albums or Itunes Claudius Linton recorded several singles in the 1970's, with his group the Hofner Brothers and solo hits like the classic Crying Time.After more than a 20-years absence, Kingman returned to the music in 2007 with 'Roots Master : The Vintage Roots Reggae Singles', a compilation including his hits and unreleased songs. In 2008, Sun King Records released 'Sign Time', Kingman's brand new album . Claudius also had an Obama song that was a very strong reggae beat that he said he used to play with Peter Tosh in the slums of KIngston. I hope the ITunes monies and residuals get to his Daughter and Family. When I pressed the questions about the monies after his death this guy got very vague. His comment was that he owned it all. It looks like the Same Old Same Old. Kingman was part of the living history of roots reggae music. Is a very true statement. I hope to meet Leonard Adams in Long Beach one day to tell him what I know of Claudius and hope we can do something about getting some added value to his family. Claudius had a Jamaican National Treasured passport, That is just what he is a World Treasure. If Michael Jackson, and Elvis can make money posthumously then the KIngMan Lives on To! Lets help his legacy and get the funds that his Family deserves! |

It is not that all White people are racist, for they are not, there has always been a sizeable majority who are not, at the same time, since the last few hundred years, there has also been a significant minority or fearful, ignorant and insecure ones who are racists. Based only on skin color they along with their (mis-) learned scholars have fooled themselves into believing there is some special quality in so called “White” blood. I sit and listen to the hypocritical barrage spewed forth by ignorant fools, and ask my self really, how many of them are even blond on blue, how many of them know who all 8 of their great grand parents were. How many of them remember that when Europe set sail to conquer and crush the world they brought next to no women with them, and of the few many were rendered virtually infertile because of climate. The racism I see dished out against the African people is sickening, it is also kith and kin to the racism dished out against others, and in each case the fascistic low life racists have justified themselves. The people of Tasmania wiped out to the very last person. The Maori & Pacific peoples decimated. The peaceful earth loving mystical Aborigines almost annihilated, classed amongst fauna & flora. The Eskimo and Native peoples of the Americas faced with genocidal war. The Gypsies of Europe, almost wiped out and to this day still discriminated against and treated as 3rd class citizens. Then the poor Irish who had the misfortune of having the English as a neighbor, their hell started some 800 years ago enslaved, brutalized and, like people of color, having every aspect of their existence denigrated and belittled. A taste of what was to come for the rest of us. Force of number only caused the people of India, China and Arabia to break the chains a little sooner, from the atrocity. The countless millions of Africans shipped to the west is an ongoing story of hell even in these “enlightened” times. It is not just that this or that African does not like White racists, for we have always given the better the benefit of the doubt. It is that colonial people have concocted an ideology for themselves, which they teach and have quite often enshrined in law, by which they have become accustomed to view, judge and treat all whom they consider to be inferior by. Azania – South Africa is the last chance for you guys, don’t force it to kick off, many in spite of the history are prepared to live in peace. Don’t let MaDiba’s crying for your safety be wasted. |

“Dreadlocks story”
…..a film made to confuse:- Sad to see once again any achievement of Black African people being regarded as influenced by others. Rastafari wearing of locks was not influenced by the Indian indentured laborers of Jamaica. “Dreadlocks” has a long and widely distributed history with the African masses both at home and abroad. Locks from the standpoint of Ethiopia, from whence Rastafari spiritually hails, are grown and worn at time of war. The Bahitawi, or holy man, quite often, also wears locks. Downstream in Kenya the MauMau, in the war of independence against Britain wore locks. This also greatly contributed to Jamaicans adorning this ancient African tradition of locks. Many slaves were captives from west African where children in say Nigeria and Ghana will go locked until about aged 4. In the ancient world, many of the original Black Greek people wore locks, this can be seen on the so called Black pottery as well as various statues. It is worth noting that the earliest of the Greek gods are Black Africans and even Apollo, “King of the Gods”, can be seen wearing “Dreadlocks”. Long before the Greeks, sculptured works are available which show that the ancient African Egyptians were locked, as witnessed in the princes of Tanis. Locks spread worldwide anciently as can be attested to in them even being found amongst the original Australians. All the above mentioned is available visually, if any need to see images, I will provide them. Speaking of influence, it would be far more uplifting to show the African influence on India which itself a colony of the ancient Ethiopians, this would throw much needed light on the fact that many cultural traits are shared in both Asia and Africa. |

I am a Jamaican artist leaving in the US and Ernie B is selling several of my CDs and LPs online. He told me a year ago that he had money for me and that I will feel good about it. But I did not hear from him since: no responses to emails or phone calls. Did anyone heard about him recently? Does Ernie B still send CDs ordered?? This is not clear. |
Posted by MarkusMarky on 03.11.2014 | |
They still send CDs and LPs if you are placing a new order. I recently placed an order with them and there was a slight problem with the shipment. My single phone call was returned within a day but it took almost two weeks before I received any response to email. Since I hadn't received a reply to my email I also sent a note vis USPS. Within a couple of days I received an email reply that resolved everything. I have dealt with them on occasion for maybe 15 years and aside from this recent lapse in service I have had nothing but positive experience. |

It's empty food and leaves you with nothing except fat. Midnite's music is all of the nutrient dense foods packed with vitamins and minerals that you need to survive. Keep listening my friends |

Sincerely this interview deeply disappointed me in its lack of critical approach especially to issues of racism, repeating mantras of unity love don't erase racism, some real information and real questions would have been appreciated. This is an Israeli band and there is no mention of Palestinians.one person mentions they never met an Ethiopian til lthey were 2o no follow up on that. You have an Ethiopian singer who admits for a while was ashamed of his own culture. This doesn't happen in a vaccum. No real discussion on this. I much rather here these musicians talk about the reality of life in Israel to broaden our over standing of life in Israel than listen to the standard platitudes about roots music... Reality first... |

Dear Sir/Madam, On Wednesday 10/Thursday 11 September 2014 thieves broke into the home of my father Mark Banton in Enfield St Mary Jamaica and stole his entire record collection. My father Mark Banton is the co founder of the 1957 South London sound system the Mighty Merritone. My father now 82 and a returnee to his beloved Jamaica has said that it is as if his "heart has been ripped" from his body. The family are at a loss what to do and are asking/appealing to the press and radio stations to broadcast and request the return of these records the sentimental value they hold cannot be expressed... A reward is being offered... Please contact me Jacqueline Banton should you require any further information on UK +447976 895 676 or Mr Seymour Stewart Attorney at Law Jamaica 357 1516. Please help... Regards and respect , Jacqueline Banton |

Indeed, the time for Jah B to perform in Africa is now. It has been long overdue for such a length of time. His peers, Peter and Bob, fulfilled their message by coming to the motherland. Bunny's mission will not be attained if he does not heed his African fans' calls to come. Zambia has been equally waiting. |

Posted by Boris Gardiner on 01.01.2015 | |
My name is Boris Gardiner. I read your article and most of it is wrong. Sonia Pottinger had nothing to do with BRONCO RECORDS, I AM THE OWNER. She only distributed my records and I would play bass on some of her recording sessions. BRONCO was the name of a night club in Cross Roads, Kingston, where my band called THE BRONCOS performed as resident band, December 1967 to be exact. The band's name was changed to The BORIS GARDINER HAPPENING in 1969. If you look on the label you will see my old address and phone number. I recorded,A Groovy Kind of Love, Bobby Socks, and Endless Memory by Roy Panton. I'm Alone, sung by the late Orville Wood. I started my career with the singing group the RHYTHM ACES 1961, then joined a band called Kes Chin and the Souvenirs then Carlos Malcolm Afro Jamaican Rhythm. I never played with BYRON LEE. In 1967 My own band The Broncos was formed. All of these songs were pirated by Lloyd Charmers, including,You Make Me Feel Brand New, when he migrated to England in the Nineteen Seventies. That's a small part of the story of my life. Thanks, Boris O,P, Gardiner |

Yes this collectors box set ... 'Dread Prophesy - The Strange & Wonderful Story of Yabby You' is a landmark release. Rolling Stone magazine's recent review said with this release "Yabby You emerges from Marley's shadow." Aha!!!! - the story finally comes to light. Yabby You always drew a line in consciousness between himself and the Rasta - whom he said - "degenerated into a cult of mental illness" Check it! The music of this man is monumental - and now his far-sightedness is coming into focus - and like them Prophets of old - Yabby You named his label - 'Prophets.' The little story included in the book accompanying this 3CD set - about the showdown where Yabby You dropped the 'stupit religion' card on Bob Marley - tells a story never before published - if overstood - this one little recollection of history reaches out a lifeline for the generations. Combine that with the powerful sonics of the man Yabby You - and ya got someting real fi guide & protect & support in this world of trials & tribulations. Go deh! |

This is a great interview. And yes, Mikey Murray was a brilliant guitarist. I should know. He was my brother. Terribly overlooked along with the other musicians mentioned in this interview. Some whose names are familiar because Michael spoke of them. I was young but I remember. That's the 2nd record with Mike distributed by Blood and Fire. |
Posted by Dre on 04.22.2015 | |
My question tho, why does "Wilson/Wilson/Wilson" get song writing credit on Mango Walk when it was Clive and Michael wrote lyrics music although a rearranged version of Mango Walk? It's an entirely new song from Mango Walk. Plus, Mike and Clive are singing on the newly discovered "cult classic". I hear my brother all over this song - guitar and all with the wah wah going on. He lived and loved that wah wah. Drove my father crazy with that thing. |

Tiken you\'re an extraordinary human being. I really admire how you defend the whole continent of Africa. Tiken I agree that Africa needs to be free, but real freedom cannot come from one man or a president. The only one who could liberate Africa is Jesus Christ. Even a man with the best intentions could not do that. We need a higher being, and that\'s is our Father in the heavens who could do that. Jesus came to liberate us from all types of captivity. Immoral captivity, drup captivity, political captivity etc. We need to get to know i his word the bible, and try to get to know him. In Isaiah 61: 1 it says, \" The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me\'; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; \" This is for those who are bound not only physically, but also spiritually. So therefore Mr. Fakoly you need to get to know this God in order for you to truly liberate the people of Africa. I know that God is using you to do this mission, but you need to let him guide you. |

Great interview with a true Maverick of the underground! Al Breadwinner has a wonderful sound that captures the golden period of reggae, truly authentic. In staying true to the format too, it's pleasing that it's a vinyl-only release, to really capture the essence of the riddims. Good luck with the release, one to look out for I'm sure. |

This is a great upcoming list! Thank you for this great article. Please include the latest release coming from UB40 this year, TBA. In addition to their touring schedule, they are in the studio recording the new album. http://www.pledgemusic.com/artists/ub40 |
Posted by Michael on 02.02.2016 | |
Nice comprehensive list...kudos for the legwork. But disappointing nonetheless. Excited for the Zion I Kings releases and for the Sly & Robbie/Tabou1 stuff but not feeling anything else. The reissues are getting out of control. Another Pablo reissue? Horace Andy? Gregory? VP is just drowning the market in drivel. |

There are 3 I think ... and if they can all make a living out of it and continue to spread the good word of Bob et al. what's the problem? The shows I saw recently in Ireland and England were packed out ..... |

We have sadly lost another Reggae legend. May his soul RIP. Condolence to the Riley family |

Great article. The comments all bring important points. Very sad the important Every Bodies Store was closing..Pecos Sound System came out of that early 1980;s to early digital Sleng Teng Riddim start of Reggae Dancehall. If we keep them together as the Youth or the next faze of Reggae with new scenes & Vibes they are like the old 1960's to 1980's sound days. Places like the Every Bodies Music did all they could to spread the Vibe Of The Most High may God Bless them.With all the changes it is tough to know what is ahead for the Reggae Scene. The old shows you really knew the music of those performing. After the show or hearing on the radio it made you like the story noted the older wave went to this important type of music store Every Bodies Music to find that music. |

I have news for VP greed sleeves, The think they knows the law ,what a cheep shot. This goes to show the reggae community how they got slime ball princess jammys to lie in court and how this record company is willing to stoop as low as they can go to rob the artist by renaming works ,and miss credit the original artists ... Producers DON'T OWN COPY RIGHTS and they will soon learn the hard way ..... All this because they wanna rob the artist .. I wonder why they cant stop the release by the Russians if they owned the recordings as they claim ? There is a court Judgment against them and more is cumming, they keep shooting them selves in the mouth ... |

Your dad's music was not only fabulous but deep and insightful. His talent and message were larger than life and up till this day, I listen to him all the time. Sometimes, I ask God why he allowed those cheap, low life losers to take his life. But I believe he perfected his purpose on earth and its for the living to carry on. I wish you and your family the best and Congratulations! |

We met our man Delroy in Harlesden High Street a week ago. If only I had known that the start of London Reggae took place in my town just at the time I was leaving Willesden High School. What a cool dude and so concerned for the next generation and their need for hope. Music may be an answer, and what better person to make it happen, right where Reggae started in UK. |

I have a copy of the original press and mix and the sound of it is not at all like what VP has released. VP's version is remastered with an huge emphasis on highs and is therefore very shrill and way too bright. The original press and sound is much more balanced and much less tiring to the ear. |

Greetings Makeda Dread, It has been a very long time since we have seen each other. I think of you and Damana Li often and all the fun we used t.o have at Spanky's, etc. It was a special time for me and I will never forget you and many of the others. Do you ever see Dinka & Marianna? I know James and Brennan got married and was very happy to hear that-they are both good people. Myself, I am thriving here in Santa Barbara and still miss the Reggae scene. But life is good and I am thankful to be here with my family. Feliz is almost 27 years old and has been living .in San Francisco for over 3 years. She loves it there and I go up to spend "Christmas on the Bay" with her. I hope you are doing well and hope to hear back from you. With Love-Your Friend, Jeana Morelli (not on FB) |
