lowbelow Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 This is from my favourite Bob Marley record... I love it, the vibe is hot! And no sloppy horns ... (but maybe that is a personal thing?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowbelow Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I have played with some drummers that were really good playing reggae and getting these dub things in there, without any effects, just playing. Now I'd like to show some examples of that to my friend... but it is not that easy to find. There are many examples that have a bit of it, and most with a lot of reverbs and delays... do you guys know any nice examples? I already found this one here in this thread: Any more suggestions ?

pigface Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Did I ever mention the late Lucky Dube? I was lucky enough to see him close-up at an open air gig in Jo'burg in about 1993. I can't find a live video of decent quality, but the audio on this one is OK ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Dillinger - Cocaine in my Brain One of my all time raggae faves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just now, Nail Soup said: Dillinger - Cocaine in my Brain One of my all time raggae faves. My first introduction to serious reggae this track. The only other reggae or reggae-ish track that I'd heard and liked (loved actually) was Althea & Donna's Uptown Top Ranking, a track I'm still crazy about, which was released in 1977, Cocaine in my Brain was released a year earlier in 76 but I didn't hear it until after Uptown TR. Funnily enough there was, obviously, a lot of Bob Marley around but somehow his utter brilliance alluded me. Then I heard Handsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse and then the first three LKJ albums and suddenly the reggae world opened up in colour... I'm rambling and repeating myself. In short Dillinger - Cocaine in my Brain, very important track for me that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating to hear all the different styles on here. This is so close to early 60s RnB/British Blues with the guitar riff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that any reggae groups covered any punk songs... but there were some notable reggae covers by punk groups. I guess the most notable would have been Police and Thieves by the Clash. Lee Perry apparently gave his verdict: "They ruined it" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 International Reggae Day......... was yesterday (July1st). Sounds like 6 music missed it too as they are mentioning it today in a retrospective way. There's always next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I’ve been a massive David Rodigan fan from a very early age, and he’s had some great shows over the years, if anyone is interested, if you get the BBC sounds app you can catch up on some of his shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
