The Reggae Thread

Recommended Posts

I got Lee Perry's Revolution Dub album on vinyl at the weekend. It's a low-fi recording and some of his craziest stuff -  some frustrating things like sudden harsh shouts and massive panning, but when it works it it really works - this is one that's skating just on the right side of sanity and is great, I feel stoned just listening to it:  

It must have been one of the first times samples were used (sounds like a nature documentary in the intro).

Don't know if he is doing this show elsewhere, but this looks like an interesting gig, and just down the road from me!

That might be worth a look in myke if it’s not too far, I can’t say I’m familiar with him, but it says he sings the songs of ,Gregory isaacs, Dennis brown, delroy Wilson

I've known of him as a Jazz artist. Seems like he works on a lot on arts projects. Looks like a very talented guy.

I kind of remember Midnite, didn't they come from somewhere a bit unusual?.. pretty sure they weren't Jamaican..

The Virgin Islands, I remember them from the early 90s , I’ve played a few of their songs, they are a bit hit and miss, but worth a quick flick through
