Strikingly original UK reggae from 1983, self-produced by West Londoner Alex Robertson aka I Benjahman, for his own Lion Kingdom label. With contributions from legends like Rico Rodriguez and Horsemouth Wallace, Studio One and King Tubby engineers Sid Bucknor and Tony Asher, Zabandis crew and Dennis Bovell. Still, the music retains a kind of vibesing outsider idiosyncrasy descended from Keith Hudson.
Kicks off with the Shaka selection Give Love A Try.
This LP offering adds dubs; the CD adds 12” versions, dubplate mixes, dubs and other unreleased material.
An outstanding reissue. Vinyl back in; last copies.

Heavy, meditative Tuareg rock.
