ISRAEL VIBRATION - STRENGTH OF MY LIFE |
|
Produced in the late 1980's, this album came
in a time wherein Roots Reggae was going
through a difficult time. The same thing
could be said for Israel Vibration, for the
vocal harmony group had not been together
for quite a while.

SCIENTIST AND PRINCE JAMMY - DUB LANDING |
|
When you see a record by the
"Auralux" label, you can almost
automatically establish that you have a
more-than-good Reggae re-release in your
hand.
Take this two-albums-on-one-cd, for
example. It contains some of the
better DUB works from the early
1980's.

SCIENTIST WINS THE WORLD CUP |
|
This
album is part of something historical.
First, it is an episode of a series
released on the Greensleevs label featuring
the mixing skills of one Overton Brown, a
young prodigy and pupil of none other than
King Tubby's, the Godfather of DUB.

BLACK UHURU - TEAR IT UP (LIVE) |
|
Long parts of live Dubbing and even a
great drum solo by Sly Dunbar, add to this
album what can usually not be found on a
studio recording.
Without being bored by too much sound
from the actual audience, the album captures
the great vibe of the concert almost as if
you're there yourself.

BUNNY WAILER - SINGS THE WAILERS |
| When
you check most reviews on Bunny Wailer's
material, they will not speak highly of the
man's rub a dub/dancehall productions that
he did in 1980 and 1981.
We completely disagree, and think that
this album belongs to the strongest episodes
in the long carrier of this original member
of the Wailing Wailers.

BLACK UHURU - SINSEMILLIA |
| Black
Uhuru had it's finest time during the years
they were under the productional guidance of
Sly and Robbie in the early 1980's, there's
hardly any debate about that.

JAH WOOSH - THE BEST OF |
| Sometimes,
you find the best music somewhere in the
dusty corners of a record shop. Or in a
virtual dusty corner of a website.
Sometimes, the best material is way back
in the popularity polls. Or at the download
charts of a legal mp3 website.
Sometimes, the best vocalists are the
least known. And here is where Jah Woosh
(Neville Breckford) enters.

PRINCE ALLA - ONLY LOVE CAN CONQUER (1976 - 1979) |
| Prince
Alla is Keith Blake. He was born in 1950, in
Kingston. At an early age, he joined a vocal
group called "The Leaders" and
went on to live in Prince Edward Emmanuel's
Rasta Camp, where he stayed about six
years.

PRINCE JAMMY - DUB CULTURE |
| Prince
Jammy's DUB CULTURE contains two albums:
"UHURU IN DUB" and "OSBOURNE
IN DUB". The first one is unmistakably
Roots Rockers, where the second one is
unmistakably in Rub a Dub style.

ISRAEL VIBRATION - THE SAME SONG |
| Israel
Vibration's debut on the Reggae scene should
be described and seen as a classic and the
reasons for that are many.
