Scorcher. Ska at the threshold of rocksteady. Mittoo and Dizzy Moore do it to it.
Tearaway sufferers anthem, roaring out of the blocks in 1989. Piercing, unforgettable song-writing by the Tetrack spar — jam-packed with anecdote, observation and warning — over a sick, breakneck, apocalyptic rhythm, with an ace dub. A digi classic.
Moody, heavy lovers, detourned by FW’s full-throated falsetto. Ace.
Further excursions on Black Oney’s Jah Jah Send The Parson rhythm. Far I rides a stripped dub (originally for a Carib Gems LP); the straighter Oney return was first released in a tiny run of blanks.
A beautiful, close-harmony warning — loose, mystical and heavy.
The Radics at Channel One with Scientist at the desk.
Ace Jah Warrior revive from 1997.
Soulful, enraptured excursion on God I God I Say, with a lovely melodica dub.
Invoking The Delfonics’ Do You Remember, and flipping its melody the other way around. Recorded at the Damon Studios in Kansas City (owned by Victor Damon, inventor of the spring reverb).
