Trojan Dub Rarities Box

Trojan Dub Rarities Box (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

After two other three-disc budget sets of dub, Trojan must be out of crucial tracks, right? Hardly, and in this case, "rarities" doesn't mean "curio," either. Discs one and two far outshine disc three, but Trojan Dub Rarities Box is nearly as satisfying as the two non-rarities volumes already available, probably even more satisfying for the dub ...

Trojan Box Set: Ganja Reggae

Trojan Box Set: Ganja Reggae (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jamaica has been called the loudest island in the world, and given its size (some 4,000 square miles), it undoubtedly releases more records per square foot than any other place on the planet, and with the possible exception of Trinidad, no country has a more political pop music. While railing against Babylon remains a continued concern, Jamaican ...

Baba Boom!: Musically Intensified Festival Songs

Baba Boom!: Musically Intensified Festival Songs (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

Arts competitions have always been a part of Jamaica's history, dating back to the late 1800s, but they took on special meaning after 1962, the year that the island nation became independent. A sudden swell in national pride and Jamaican identity swept the country, an electricity that is captured on Baba Boom!, a collection of festival songs from ...

Cutting Razor: Rare Cuts From the Black Ark

Cutting Razor: Rare Cuts From the Black Ark (2003) more music like this

by Lee "Scratch" Perry

Let's face it, reggae fans now have good reason to be wary when it comes to the mining of Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark studio tapes. While it is beyond speculation that the vast majority of the work done there was innovative and top-shelf, there's also been a slew of it that either was or wasn't released before for a reason (i.e., it sucked). ...

Gussie Presenting I-Roy [Bonus Tracks]

Gussie Presenting I-Roy [Bonus Tracks] (1973) more music like this

by I-Roy

In reality, by the time Gussie Presenting I-Roy arrived, the DJ needed no introduction -- he was already one of the hottest toasters on the scene. This, his debut album, was virtually a hits collection, and any tracks that weren't hits would be soon enough. Initially seen as little more than copying his bigger brethren, I-Roy had swiftly developed ...

Original Rockers [Shanachie]

Original Rockers [Shanachie] (1979) more music like this

by Augustus Pablo

Original Rockers is a solid introduction to Augustus Pablo's haunting melodica playing, and includes brief flashes of his dub inspiration as well on "Tubby's Dub Song" and "Rockers Dub." As usual, the lineup is superb with Robbie Shakespeare, Aston and Carlton "Carlie" Barrett, Earl "Chinna" Smith and Bobby Ellis, among others. Though much of the ...

20 Super Hits [Sonic]

20 Super Hits [Sonic] (1991) more music like this

by Yellowman

Across much of the '80s, Yellowman was as popular as sliced bread and cheese. The first of the superstar DJs, King Yellow, as he was swiftly crowned, reigned supreme not just in the Jamaican dancehalls, but in the British and American reggae clubs as well. Skipping over his breakout hits for the Hookim brothers, 20 Super Hits may neglect the ...

Heart of a Lion

Heart of a Lion (1978) more music like this

by I-Roy

Not as even as predecessors like Truths and Rights, but has some good moments. There's more than enough examples of I Roy's elementaryish rhymes; kids could jump rope to "Sister Nelly" and "Tiddele Bop," two humorous numbers that I Roy must have spent hours on in order to get the rhymes tight. The reading level of his lyrics rises on "Move Up ...

Putumayo Presents: A New Groove

Putumayo Presents: A New Groove (2007) more music like this

by Various Artists

The grooves on Putumayo's A New Groove aren't necessarily that new, but they are new for Putumayo. The label, known for assembling world music compilations often found at the checkout counters of upscale specialist retail outlets, doesn't often walk on the sonic edge. Putumayo comps, although quite often excellent, are generally safe, meant to be ...

Shanty Town Determination: 1976-1978

Shanty Town Determination: 1976-1978 (2000) more music like this

by Trinity

This is a reissue of an obscure classic from the late 1970s, an album made by the young reggae deejay Trinity under the aegis of the great roots singer and producer Yabby You (Vivian Jackson). Trinity was just 22 when he recorded this album, and at this point he owed a tremendous stylistic debt to Big Youth; still, his delivery is original enough ...

High Explosion: DJ Sounds From 1970 to 1976 chronicles the rise and rule of the DJ style. The 50 tracks feature the best DJs and some of the best reggae producers of the time. There are seven tracks by U-Roy, six by Dennis Alcapone, five by I-Roy, and four by Big Youth. Some of the producers that show up are giants and innovators like Lee "Scratch ...

One in a Million

One in a Million (1989) more music like this

by Yellowman

Shanachie's One in a Million is actually a reissue of the 1982 Greensleeves 10" Operation Eradication, which itself was a compilation of early Yellowman singles. Confusing history aside, it's a fantastic set and includes many songs that still play a part in Yellowman's shows. "Them a Mad Over Me" turned out to be his anthem and "Shorties" was such ...

Reggae Gold [Hip-O] (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Part of Hip-O Records' extensive Gold series of best-of compilations, Reggae Gold is one of the more definitive volumes in the series, rounding up 30 songs that truly are some of the best reggae ever. Granted, there are some major omissions. For instance, where's Bob Marley, or how about his fellow Wailer Peter Tosh? And what about the ragga ...

Look How Me Sexy: Reggae Anthology (2001) more music like this

by Yellowman

Considering the deluge of records Yellowman released during the '80s, you'd expect a flood of compilations to have followed, bundling up all his dizzying hits. Of course, most of the DJ's albums during that decade did precisely that, but still there was much left over for the archivists. Unfortunately, relatively few compilations are available, ...

The Hudson Affair: Keith Hudson and Friends

The Hudson Affair: Keith Hudson and Friends (2005) more music like this

by Keith Hudson

Keith Hudson's death in 1984 (he was only 38) robbed reggae of one of its most complex, innovative, and woefully underappreciated artists. As a writer, singer, and producer, Hudson had a dark and maverick vision that led to him being labeled "the Dark Prince of Reggae," and he was in many ways the artistic flip side to Bob Marley, although the two ...

by Big Youth

Big Youth's debut full-length album, 1973's Gussie Clark-produced Screaming Target, was an instant classic, showcasing Youth's uncanny ability to transfer the vitality and energy of Jamaica's dancehall sound to the studio setting. But Youth did more than that. Recognizing that if one is given the chance to say something, then one ought to have ...
