Signing Off

CD-Charts > Music > Reggae
by: UB40

Release Date September 27, 1993
before they settled into a blander niche, ub40 were a mighty british reggae band with the avowed intention of bringing dub into the charts and the mainstream. how they succeeded! tyler, king, food for thought and burden of shame were heartfelt political statements of their time set to infectious grooves,weird echoey dubs and ali`s unique vocals. the standout track has to be "madam medusa" which is the finest anti-thatcher record ever(they encored with it at glastonbury 1983 a few days after the tories election victory, introducing it as more relevant than ever), almost 13 minutes long with one of the longest and most atmospheric dubs ever committed to record- simply outstanding and worth the price of the cd on it`s own. signing off is simply ...

Second Light

CD-Charts > Music > Reggae
by: Dreadzone

Release Date May 30, 1995
This is such a classic album, which still sounds fresh 13 years after it was made. It has brilliant basslines, great production and tunes that just stick right in your head. It has a wonderful mix of upbeat folky dub madness like Little Britain and Captain Dread, alongside ambient dub excursions like Shining Light, Cave Of Angels and A Canterbury Tale. These ambient tunes are what really make this album special, taylormade for listening to when out amongst nature like walking in mountains, or sitting round a campfire at dawn. And I never get tired of them. In fact this is a perfect album for anyone who goes travelling to a strange new land, I've listened to it in Morocco and on the Inca Trail in Peru and it just seems to fit those special moments.

Divine Madness

CD-Charts > Music > Reggae
by: Madness

Release Date June 05, 2000
This edition is a combined version of the Greatest Hits packages that were available a few years back. Divine Madness was originally released almost 15 years ago but a few years ago it was updated with re-mastered sound and two extra tracks, Love Struck and Johnny the Horse from their come-back album in 1999.

A Madness collection really could hardly be any more complete. All the hits are here and sounding remarkably fresh, being more than 20 years old. The sound of the CD is much better than the original version of Divine Madness.

Only the most die hard Madness fans need any more than this collection, with the possible exception of their brilliant (but commercial flop) Mad Not Mad. This is classic Madness in one perfect package. ... Read More:

Tighten Up! Trojan Reggae Classics (1968 - 1974)

CD-Charts > Music > Reggae
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
This Tighten-Up compilation will put a smile on your face this summer, and might even make you think the sun is shining.

There is a definite progression to be heard as the tracks draw from the original eight lps in the series.

Reggae is still a relatively new concept in the first tracks, having just taken over from the slower rock-steady style in the early sixties. So the first few numbers are very R&B-like. Half way through the first disc the familiar bass thump is there and you know you're not in Kansas anymore.

I am a big fan of unlikely Reggae covers and there are some gems here. The theme from Shaft had me grinning from ear to ear. Bridge Over Troubled Water is pretty good as well.

Tighten Up is a real floor filler ... Read More:
