Product Description
Product Description
While there are better and more varied samplers of producer Bunny Lee's fine mid- 70s work, the first disc of this "twofer" still delivers plenty of top-notch sides by two of Lee's best singers, Johnnie Clarke and Cornell Campbell. Equally stellar work is also heard by Horace Andy, Dennis Brown, Linval Thompson, the Paragons, and Derrick Morgan. And while none of the many DJ and instrumental sides Lee cut during this time are included, the second disc does comes packed with a round of King Tubby's quality dub sides, most of which are versions of the vocals from the first half. As always, Lee's favored band, the Aggrovators, provide solid rhythm work throughout. An enjoyable if somewhat obscure selection from Channel One's heyday. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide

Brilliant reinterpretation!
May 2 2008
By Chauncey Gardner
- Published on Amazon.com
These sort of collections/reinterpretations very rarely live up to the original source material, and often are more sampling than reinterpretation, but I have to say - i love this record!. Spooky manages to preserve the core elements of the songs and build a new facade around each track. You can tell he's a huge fan of the Trojan catalog, and put a lot of thought and effort into his decisions. Highly recommended.

EXCELLENT

Format:Audio CD
I have always wanted to get into raggee but have never had the will. If you like dynamics in your music, the repetition of reggee can be a little dry and daunting. I have been told the idea is to be hypnotized, getting into the subtle shifts in the beats and letting the music flow over you--listen actively BY listening passively
I absolutely repsect the form and its players--those meters sound incredibly hard and incrediably good. But vicerally, I have always found reggee work.
A friend of mine is an expert in raggee, and I said to him, "I need a bridge to get from the type of sounds I like to raggee." So one day he hands me this CD and says "I just bought you a bridge."
This DJ Spooky CD mixes raggee-I don't know who or from what era--but the mix in amazingly dynamic, combigning the heavy dub rhytms with dance beats and electronics.
I like this CD for its inventive mixing and sound. Whether or not it will lead me further into reggee land--crossing from jazz and progressive rock and blues--who knows, but for mixing skill and dynamics, this is top notch.
