Putumayo Presents: Jamaica

Putumayo Presents: Jamaica (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

An entry from Putumayo's archives, Putumayo Presents: Jamaica makes a stab at covering the vast majority of the styles of reggae available on the island nation. More specifically, it restricts that coverage to the more classic forms (omitting dancehall, hip-hop, fusion, and generally anything involving gun talk and slackness). Essentially ...

The Same Song

The Same Song (1978) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

One of the most exciting debuts of the roots era, Same Song boasted the cream of Jamaican musicianship backing the vocal trio, including Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo, Mikey Chung, and Ansel Collins. Producer Tommy Cowan took special care with this record and insured that the all-star cast never overwhelmed the vocalists. This was a real danger, as ...

Dub Your Brains Out

Dub Your Brains Out (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the best dub compilations of 2002 came, somewhat surprisingly, from one of the best hardcore punk labels in the U.S. (Though this is a bit less surprising when you consider that all of the material on the album was licensed from RAS, one of the two or three best reggae labels in the U.S.) What makes this particular collection so satisfying ...

Live Again!

Live Again! (1997) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Reggae is a genre that works best stripped-down and pure; whether it's simple harmonies with drum or bass or unaccompanied vocals, the essence of the music lies in its earthy spirit. Live Again! expertly captures this spirit, with Israel Vibration performing with inspired emotion. The power of the trio's lyrics is showcased here without overdubs ...

Dub Combo (2001) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

For nearly 25 years now, Israel Vibration has been one of the most beloved bands in reggae, not only for their conscious lyrics and heavenly harmonies, but also for their strength in remaining positive in the face of adversity after being stricken with polio as children. Coming on the heels of last year's wonderful boxed set, The Power of the ...

IV (1993) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Now on to their fourth album with backing band the Roots Radics, the members of Israel Vibration are confident enough to take some musical chances, making IV their most daring album to date. While their previous set, Forever, was steeped in celebration, here the group decides to have some fun. It arrives, like a bat out of hell, with "Reggae Rock ...

Strength of My Life

Strength of My Life (1989) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

What a difference a few years can make. Fleeing Jamaica in 1982 to escape dancehall fever, then floundering on the seemingly indifferent shores of the States, Israel Vibrations split up, and slipped from view. The trio re-formed in 1987, signed to the RAS label, then set to work on a new album, their first since the Why You So Craven fiasco back ...

Praises (1990) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

A roots reggae vocal trio, Israel Vibration is modeled in the tradition of Culture, whom they recall in both their harmonies and their politically-charged Rasta lyrical concerns. On Praises, the group is backed by the crack reggae rhythm unit the Roots Radics as well as the RAS Brass; lead vocals and songwriting duties are spread out among the ...

Power of the Trinity (2000) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Israel Vibration is virtually unique amongst vocal groups in that all three (later two) of the members have contributed equally to the songwriting. This rare talent gives them further distinction, as each composer sings lead on his own songs, the others stepping back to provide the harmonies. These forever-shifting perspectives and lead vocals ...

Jericho (2000) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Israel Vibration is one of the last of the many great reggae harmony groups that emerged in the 1970s, a period during which "cultural" (i.e., religious and political) messages and slow, minor-key melodies dominated the music. On Jericho, the group is reduced to a duo (Cecil "Skelly" Spence and Lacelle "Wiss" Bulgin), though they are still ...

Wiss Vibes (2000) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Israel Vibration's debut album, The Same Song, was one of the most stirring ever recorded, an homage to Jah that still holds listeners in its thrall with its deep spirituality. Only one song on the entire record was not purely devotional, "Licks and Kicks," a plaintive number of police brutality and injustice. With this one song, Lacelle Wiss ...

Dub Vibration: Israel Vibration in Dub (1990) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

One of the best of the roots vocal groups big in the late '70s, Israel Vibration made a successful comeback in 1986 after an extended sabbatical at the beginning of the dancehall era. Washington, D.C., reggae label RAS was there to bring the trio to a wider audience than before, releasing several slicked-up roots titles during the late '80s and ...

This Is Crucial Reggae (2005) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

One of the most popular of Jamaica's harmony trios, Israel Vibration have stuck with a patented Rasta roots approach since first forming in the 1970s, and if their records aren't exactly strikingly innovative, they aren't jarringly slack, either, and the group has stayed continually committed to the rights of sufferers everywhere. This 12-track ...

On the Rock (1995) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Although Israel Vibration have regularly covered societal issues in the past, for On the Rock, they take a step back, have a good look around, and set their pens to paper, resulting in their most cultural album to date. With each of the trio contributing songs, the individual perspectives makes for interesting listening, even as they address the ...

Forever (1991) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

After two albums together, it was obvious that a vibrant musical relationship had developed between Israel Vibration and the trio's backing band, the Roots Radics. The Radics' blend of powerful beats with an easygoing, swaying style provided perfect backdrops for the Vibes' vocals, adding strength to the more forceful numbers, while giving the ...

Free to Move (1996) more music like this

by Israel Vibration

Is Israel Vibration even capable of making a mediocre album? While a number of their contemporaries found their groove long ago and have plowed it on auto-pilot ever since, the Vibes continue to explore, experiment, and excite. It's a path their label, RAS, obviously encourages, and the trio's backing band, the Roots Radics, revel in, always eager ...

"And one of the bredren just say, 'You know, every time you laugh you look like a apple.'" And so, at age 17, Al Craig became Apple, a nickname that still leaves the singer a bit perplexed. This is just one of the many fascinating snippets of information that can be found on Apple Vibes, an album originally available only within the Power of the ...
