| This
one you just can't refuse. Michael Prophet's
ROOTSMAN will be more than satisfactory for
various people and for different reasons.
For the DUBheads, because of the magnificent
mixing by Mad Professor. For the lovers of
Full Lyrical works, because this is the best
album from one of Reggae's top vocalists.
For the Conscious people, because all tracks
are based on a conscious subjects.
Presenting one of ARIWA Studio's finest
releases, definitely the personal favourite
for at least the coming 6 months. ROOTSMAN
contains ten vocal tracks, and two dubs.
Michael Prophet rides all ten riddims as
only a conscious man can ride an upfull
Reggae Riddim. Straight from the heart. And
when a conscious heart expresses himself,
this gives the vibe some people always will
wonder how to get... Here it is, Michael
Prophet giving you truths and rights on an
All-Killer-No-Filler release.
Most of the tracks are steppers, there's
a few one drops as well, ending with a tune
called "My Lord", which sounds
like the "the next love song" at
first glance. Only this is a love song to
the Most High JAH. Kind of Special
Livication. There's two DUBs on the album as
well, but Mad Professor also mixed dubs from
this album on his own DUB releases as well.
Mad Professor also did a superb job on
this release. It is difficult to make a
dubby mix and still have the complete lyrics
in it too, but this album shows Professor
can do it. In his own style, righteous and
wild, well versatile as I would say...
Really, this one you just can't refuse!
