 Rating:  - Easy skankin!!I couldn't give this five stars, because there are a few dud tracks on there. But at the price it is well worth the money, because there are loads of great tunes. In fact it is worth the cash just to get a copy of 'Rukumbine'. There is a groovy ska version of the James Bond theme, and a couple of minor key instrumental grooves that really get you dancing. Also 'A little oil in my lamp' is a great singalong ska version of a traditional song, with a gospel feel to it. I don't know why they chose to start the CD with the Prince Buster tune which is more of a reggae style and not like the rest at all (although it's not a bad tune). Rating: - you'll wear it outIf you need a starting point to get into Jamaican ska (as oposed to its British counsin), then this is the one to go for. Twenty tracks, a good variety of artists, a mixture of vocal and instrumental, and no instantly forgetable sub-R&B fillers from Yellowman and the like. If you're only an occasional ska listener, then this would be the only record you'll need. If you need a starting point for a new section in your CD collection, this is equally good. Rating:  - MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmAbsolute cracker....If you love 2tone this is a must! Rating: - If You Only Own One Ska CD - Make It This One!The best single-disc ska compilation I've come across. Ska was always a hit and miss musical form, but this is like the best of all the other compilations. Among a whole series of stand-outs, Keith & Ken's "I Won't Let You Go" and Baba Brooks' "Girls Town Ska" are quite irreplacable. Non-stop dance rhythms. If you're wondering where/whether to get into ska, ignore the box sets (for the moment) and start here. Rating: - Absolutely skankingly fantasticBought this after hearing Mark Lamarr play some of the original SKA, this album is absolutley brilliant, and I would recommend to everybody who is into SKA, original Jamaican sounds boom through the stereo, and you feet start to move... |
