It's not working for me now either, but it was working yesterday. There was actually some pretty cool stuff on there.

I find that I'm really liking the new Damien Marley album.

Anybody else?

I think Damian's new album, entitled "Welcome to Jamrock", is the best reggae to drop since Steel Pulse "African Holocaust". A varied mix of roots reggae, dancehall and some cross-genre sounds that rock. Lovin it. He's got such a strong message, but still mixes it up. Gets me appreciating dancehall style more.

I really feel "There for you", his mix of "Pimpers Paradise" and "Exodus" (called Move!), "Road to Zion" and "In 2 Deep".

I'd love to hear some thoughts on this new album if anyone be willing to share 'em. Jah bless!

I'm feelin' [i]Jamrock[/i] as well, though the less socially conscious songs get old. Plus the first line of "Babies" is way, WAY too overstated "Women get abortions / and killin' all the babies." But it's a pretty solid record. Worth the money for the title track. I think the "best reggae to drop since [i]African Holocaust[/i]" title is a bit undeserved, but the title track is really one of the better singles of the last several years, certainly.

I just got Max Romeo - War Ina Babylon and I'm really liking it. Any of you guys have it?

I dont personally have the album but I love that song. I have it on Lee Perry - Reggae Greats.

I dont know man, thats quite a track list but 39$ is pretty steep. Perhaps you could find one used, looks like they start at about 30 bucks.

That's where I first heard him. The album is definatly worth getting.

Hey Zion Gates, I dont know if you use/condone torrents or not but I found the "I am the upsetter" compilation on [url]www.isohunt.com[/url].

i tried but i never understood how to use torrents

First you need a bittorrent client.
[url]http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/download.php[/url]

Once youve installed the program you download the torrents to it and they transfer there.

You should also get soulseek. In my opinion, it's much easier than torrents or Limewire or anything. I do use torrents occasionaly, though.

"less socially conscious" - you mean the club songs like "Hey Girl" and "All Night"? Yah I feel that, but they get my girl moving (and me too) so I have to give some props. "For the Babies" - "Now I see them giving the woman abortion to kill another baby." - is the first line. Yah yer right it is overstated, but later in the song he gets to some [i]under[/i]stated words: - "All of these young ladies. Give them thanks and praises. How long can she take it? Dreams are full of maybes. Will she ever make it? Hustles on a daily. In the club a shake it. Strip down ‘til she naked. Don’t ever mistake it. Much too real to fake it. Need it then she’ll take it. She’ll do it for the babies. A mother’s love is sacred. Now you don’t ever fail me."

Fair opinion on Pulse, though I haven't felt this moved and inspired by a reggae album since [i]Holocaust[/i]. Very possible I could have missed a better album. If you enlighten me, I would love to hear to hear the music!

Thanks much for the words. Jah bless!

Thanks for the hookup on that Kaya. I will definately take a look. That Perry compilation looks crazy hot. Worth the $40 loot for sure if you can't get a torrent connection.

My favorites are Scratch Perry, Toots, and Burning Spear. I saw the Maytals this summer, it was a great show, completely different atmosphere than what I'm used to.

yeah i cant get the torrents to work, and iam way to lazy to go fix it. And i cant get soulseek because i have a mac.
Besides that...
i just got my first Culture c-d, i love it...it reminds me alot of Burning Spear

Thats what i love about reggae. When i saw steel pulse in concert it was my first reggae show and i couldnt believe how positive the atmosphere was. Everyone was groovin to the music, smokin herb and being happy. I couldnt believe such a place existed. :D

ive never been to a reggae concert before :( ...except seeing these imitation bob marley bands in jamaica

I've been using this soulseek client and its been working fine.

The closest thing I've been to a reggae show was some ska concerts.
