The I-fficial Reggae / Dub Thread

[Zion Gates]

^ yeah so do i

my band is covering 54-46 was my number by toots for our next show, we dont have a singer, so our sax player is doing the vocals, but with a sax line..if that makes sense..its gonna be sweet

[sweboy]

I'm really diggin' the organ in the Specials version. I have this thing for organs. But of course, the original version is untouchable. Class-sick!

The Clash's version is rockin' too, indeed. Those crazy brits with their dirty distorted guitars. I likes. The little guitar solo is wonderful too.

[Daniel!]

I think the Clash did justice to Police and Theives, too. Some of the dub and reggae stuff on Sandinasta is quality stuff also.

[Zion Gates]

bedouin soundclash do a really good money worries cover (the original artist has slipped my mind at the moment) there a pretty good band from kingston (2 hours away from where i live)...you guys have any reggae bands close to you?

[CombatRock]

I just gots to say, The Specials version of Pressure Drop is frickin sweet. Discuss.
Do you like the Clash version?

[Daniel!]

Not really. They are a few ska bands from my area, though.

I've been on a reggae themed downloading spree lately. This is what I've got so far:

Dennis Brown - The Crowned Prince of Reggae: Best of Dennis Brown
Bad Brains - Live
Big Youth - Dreadlocks Dread
Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Upsetters - Super Ape

The Big Youth one and Dennis Brown are my favorites so far. Dennis Brown has written some really fantastic songs.

[sweboy]

Do you like the Clash version?

Yeah, totally. I commented on it a few posts back. ;) It's sweet.

off topic but i can't stop listening to prince far i and the arabs..they make some great stuff, check them out

[Daniel!]

That Prince Jazzbo album is great. I've been listening to him and Big Youth all day. I've been trying to find some stuff by U-Roy, I-Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Prince Far I, and Dillinger, but so far soulseek hasn't been very helpful.

Edit: I'm getting a Prince Far I album and a Dennis Alcapone album right now.

[Daniel!]

I got Dennis Alcapone - Forever Version, and Prince Far I - Black Man Land.

I was reading about Big Youth somewhere, and it said that there were three famous toasters at the same time as him: U-Roy, I-Roy, and Dennis Alcapone. So I'm gonna try to get stuff by all three of those guys, because Big Youth rocks. I have one down, two to go.

[Daniel!]

We need to write short little paragraphs for all the artists that aren't on the list in the first few posts. There's quite a few good ones not on there.

Prince Far I is great. His voice is really...interesting.


Edit:

Big Youth
Originally born Manley Augustus Buchanan, Big Youth was one of Jamaica’s most popular DJ’s (or toasters). After being a mechanic, Big Youth started DJing for Lord Tipperton's sound system. His debut single was a flop, and so were many of his next singles. He finally got a hit when he hooked up with Gussie Clarke and recorded “The Killer”. "The Killer" was followed by a string of other successful hits, and his debut album Screaming Target. Still alive, Big Youth is a major reggae icon in Jamaica.

Dennis Brown
Dennis Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1957. He grew up on Orange Street, the center of the island’s music scene, and he was surrounded by famous and soon-to-be famous artists throughout his childhood. Recording his first hit at only 11 years of age, Dennis Brown has become a beloved and prolific artist throughout the entire island. He died of cocaine use on July 1, 1999.

Dennis Alcapone
Born in Clarendon, Jamaica, on August 6, 1947, Dennis Alcapone set up his own sound system in Kingston, the El Paso Hi-Fi, in 1969 and instantly became successful. In the early 1970’s, Dennis started releasing his own singles. His cheerful whoops and hollers pushed him to the top of the charts, dethroning the great U-Roy. Although still recording music, his glory days are long past, but he remains one of the greats of early Jamaican toasters.

EDIT: nvm, iam starting these blurbs some other time, iam way too lazy at the moment

[Daniel!]

I've been listening to Big Youth, Prince Jazzbo, and Dennis Alcapone all day.

I got bored and typed up a blurb about U-Roy, even though I've only heard 1 song by him.

U-Roy
Although not the first DJ, or even the first to make a record, U-Roy is commonly know as the Originator. His music was immensely popular, and forever changed Jamaica’s music scene. U-Roy was DJing for King Tubby’s Hi-Fi sound system when he cut his first song with Keith Hudson in 1969. Although his first song, and the few that followed, were not successful, he soon started topping the charts with his collaborations with John Holt. He has since gone down in history as the one of the innovators of the DJ and toaster style.

Pardon me but are these "wow"s at my expense? Because I certainly wasnt questioning Matisyahus religious convictions, but rather politely offering some clarification.

Not really, more at the assertion that Matisyahu was Amish.

This weekend I went to a record store downtown that I don't normally go to, and discovered their reggae section is about 10 times the size of my local store's reggae section. I didn't buy any reggae cd's, but I bought some records, including Bad Brain's self-titled. I Luv I Jah sounds tons better on vinyl, espicially played loudly.

Junior Murvin - Police and Theives
Peter Tosh - Equal Rights

The only one I've listened to so far is the Culture album, but it's fantastic.

[Badmoon]

Peter Tosh - Equal Rights

Nice :thumb:

I love that album -- possibly Tosh's best. I'd say "Equal Rights" is the best song off of it.

[Zion Gates]

Nice :thumb:

i definatly agree that its Tosh's best. none of his other albums even compare to equal rights...my favourite song is Iam That Iam

[Daniel!]

I'm liking Equal Rights much better than Legalize It. Junior Murvin is fantastic also.

[Zion Gates]

I'm liking Equal Rights much better than Legalize It. Junior Murvin is fantastic also.

Reggae Mailing List #5
Alpha Blondy - Rasta Pou

..tell me what you think

[Daniel!]

Recently I've been loving the Augustus Pablo/King Tubby album King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown. It's a fantastic dub album and really enjoyable. This review from allmusic sums it up pretty well.

If you had to pick one album that best represents the pinnacle of the art of dub, you'd cull the candidates down pretty quickly to ten or 12, and it would get very difficult after that. Few would fault you for ending up with this one, though, which stands as perhaps the finest collaboration between two of instrumental reggae's leading lights: producer and melodica player Augustus Pablo and legendary dub pioneer King Tubby. Among other gems, this album offers its title track -- a dub version of Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love You So" -- which is widely regarded as the finest example of dub ever recorded. But the rest of the album is hardly less impressive. "Each One Dub," another cut on a Jacob Miller rhythm, possesses the same dark and mystical ambience, if not quite the same emotional energy, as "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown," and the version of the epochal "Satta Massaganna" that closes the album is another solid winner. Pablo's trademark "Far East" sound (characterized by minor keys and prominent melodica lines) is predominant throughout, and is treated with care and grace by King Tubby, who has rarely sounded more inspired in his studio manipulations than he does here. Absolutely essential.

I keep on forgetting to listen to the Alpha Blondy album, but I promise I will soon.

[Zion Gates]

yeah i downloaded that album..its great, but still doesnt compare to bad brains dub

[Daniel!]

I listened to the Alpha Blondy and found it relatively uninteresting. I should listen to the Bad Brains dub album again, I listened to it once and didn't love it right away and haven't listened to it since.

Bad Brains - I & I Survived

[Pirate Satellite]

Haa, I think he was referencing Kaya as in the dread Marijuana, my man.

I just recently listened to some tracks off of 'Firehouse Rock' by the Wailing Souls and sweet sassy molassy, it is fine. I probably won't be able to afford it until January, but until then, I'm just listening to the tunes I have on here. For those with extra cash or Soulseek or whatever, it comes highly recommended.

Also, my computer can't handle YSI uploads, but I just got 'Arkology' by Lee "Scratch" Perry, which is a three-disc boxed set and it is killer. It really does a great job of showcasing Perry's talent. My screen name is arsonmadeeasy if anyone wants it.

haha sorryi missed this, i was referencing ganja, jahs sacred herb. But honestly ilove Kaya, songs like Sun is shining, Misty Morning, shes gone, kaya, and Easy skanking are all classics, really uplifting roots. I'll agree though that Catch a fire is the Wailers best, nothing compares to early Concrete Jungle, and 400 years....damn it gives me chills.

But i thought id say i downloaded Lee Perrys set "I am the upsetter" a while back when Zion was questioning buying it. Its incredible and really displays a full range of Perrys ability, i love it. Also if you guys havent listened to much Max Romeo i HIGHLY encourage you to go out and download some. "Chase the Devil" has become an alltime reggae favorite of mine. Unfortunately I have very little of his music to listen to so if anybody has an album of his hook a rasta up! :thumb:

Peace everybody, Jah bless.

I'll upload Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Evil Vampire, because that's my favorite dub album that I have.

[JonG]

Heh, I'm a big nub when it comes to reggae. I'm gettin' into Matisyahu. I like Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh.

:\

[Daniel!]

Alright, I sent you the link for the Scientist album Alex.

[KayaMon]

Hey i was wondering, what do you guys think of the band 'Mystic Roots'. They came out with the hit "Pass the marijuana" a while back. I think theyre a great band and would upload an album of theirs if only i had one. Check em out.

Peace

[Daniel!]

I've never heard of them, I'll try to download a song.

[Zion Gates]

I'll upload Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Evil Vampire, because that's my favorite dub album that I have.

thanks man :thumb: i got your e-mail...great album

[Pirate Satellite]

I forgot how good the Dub Syndicate CD was. So now I'm listening to it Ad Nauseum. Zion Gates, you're really doing all of us a big favor. Thanks a ton.

Does anyone here like the Cimarons? I heard one of their songs on a Trojan compilation, ('Utopian Feeling') and it is killer. I was wondering if the rest of their material was at all like that.

Oh, and, pssst... everyone should check out the new Ten Foot Ganja Plant CD. I'll do my damnedest to upload it, even though my computer is really god-awful.

Awsome! I've been looking for that Dillinger album for a long time. I haven't listened to any reggae in a while, so this should be good.

[sweboy]

So I checked out Matisyahu. I always just assumed that he was another bland jamaican dancehall MC, but my friend told me about him the other day, so I checked him out. He sounds pretty fresh.

I tried giving Matisyahu a listen but I didn't like him very much.

[Pirate Satellite]

Jeez, too hard, man.

The Congos- Heart Of The Congos
Jimmy Cliff- The Harder They Come
Bunny Wailer- Blackheart Man
Augustus Pablo- King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown
Bob Marley and The Wailers- Survival

This week's mailing list was impeccable. Those are some of my favorite albums. I haven't ever listened to the Misty Roots record, I'm super-excited because those others are so great. Brilliant work, guys. Can anyone hook a brother up with some Matisyahu? By the time I got to his link on the mailing list it had expired, and I have no money left to get his CDs. I just got a ticket to see him in February, though, which should be awesome.

To the guy who needed Dancehall, the closest I have to that is the new Damian Marley, some Sizzla, and Dennis Brown, which has a little of a dancehall feel. My screen name is arsonmadeeasy if anyone wants me to send you any of that on AIM.

[Daniel!]

Can any of you guys give me the tracklisting for the live Misty In Roots album? The link on the mailing list didn't work for me, so I downloaded it off of soulseek, but don't know the track names or order. Also, I listened to the Meditations album again, and I like it a lot more than last time.

[Pirate Satellite]

1. Introduction
2. Man Kind
3. Ghetto Of The City
4. How Long Jah!
5. Oh! Wicked Man!
6. Judas Iscariote
7. See Them Ah Come
8. Sodome & Gomorra

I need to check out the Meditations. I think that was on one of the mailing lists that went out when I was in Argentina and expired before I could check them.

I just got 'We Free Again' by Groundation. It's really, really, really sweet. I can send it to someone to upload on the mailing list or something, (I can't upload on this computer at all). It's highly recommended, it's such nice instrumentation. The vocals aren't perfect, but seriously, who cares? It's glorious.

Legend.

/is perdictable

[Pirate Satellite]

I really dislike Legend a lot.

It has some wonderful songs on it, but I really don't like how it flows as an album, you know? It's got this really cheesy "greatest hits" feel to it. I know that's exactly what it is, but still. I like them too much to choose a favorite of all time. Kaya might be my favorite at the moment.

Legend is the album that got me into Bob Marley and reggae music. Nowadays I don't listen to Bob very much, so it's just stayed my favorite album of his.

Natty Dread. I must say, the first time i heard it on vinyl I was hooked on marley for good.
123. That album is Marley ground zero. Catch a Fire is a close second, though.

Here's my issue with Legend and other Marley comps:

Bob Marley was a political singer. He sang about the injustice and inequalities of Africans in Jamaica, South Africa and around the world. But who owns the rights to Marley songs now? Whitey. And Whitey's keepin Marley down. Look at the tracklist on Legend. The only two remotely political song on there are Get Up, Stand Up and Redemption Song. Vague songs that have a tinge of rebellion but don't expose specific injustices. Listen to the message of that compilation: Don't worry, every little thing will be all right. Where are the anthems that cry out that, no, not everything is, in fact, all right. Musically superior tracks such as War, Burnin' and Lootin', and Them Belly Full But We Hungry are nowhere to be found, and why? Because Whitey wants to push Marley as some stupid stoner who didn't stand for ****. Put on Natty Dread!

There are some of amazing tracks on the album but there are alot that i skip over (most of which are also featured on Legend..which i dont really like myself) The song three little birds is terrible in my opinion (even though it brought more women into the reggae scene), and Jammin' (probably his biggest hit) is a little overrated, good song, but there are much better marley songs.

Who ever sent out the Trench Town Mix Up by The Gladiators should get 67 beautiful virgins when he dies...the Quaran says normaly who'd have to fly a plane into a building or something of that sort to get such a reward but they should make an exception......well anyway I am extremly grateful for who ever uploaded that, it's now my favorite Raggae album. You guys easily have the best mailing list going, keep up the great work.

If you can't get the 67 virgins you may have my first daughter. :)

A reputable source informed me that you guys have a really awesome mailing list sorta thing going on...would you guys if I added my email onto that? Reggae CD's are like the only types of CDs I buy any more, although I mainly just buy vinyl. So I could most likely contribute as well.

Oh man, just started listening to the Gladiators album and i must say, its undeniably essential roots. But guys last night me and rubbersoul were out at a concert with some local metal/screamo bands that sucked horribly, the scene was pretty lame so we decided to split but to our suprise 'stir it up' begins playing, it was a roots band at a nearby restaurant across the water, we werent set on going in at first until they began to play an incredible version of 'Rollerskates'. We had to go. Ended up getting to see the last 45 minutes of their set, it was incredible. They were called "Roadblock" and i would give anything to hear them again.

that sounds awsome, the only reggae stuff playing around here is Ras Lee at mavericks but its 19+ which sucks for me. And i added some bands to the list which i havnt done little blurbs on, but are just there. So check that out people.
EDIT: if anyone knows any bands that are not on the list please tell me and i'll put it on the list.
