Georges

The Light

Roots Vibration

A mystical roots gem by the vocal group More Relation, founded in New York in 1977. They were one short on the day of the recording, so they renamed themselves for this release only.
Stripped-back, ecstatic, and hypnotic, in the manner of bare-bones Upsetters, by way of Bullwackies. The singing is bathed in the light of Bob Marley and the I Threes. The dub is casually killer. We could listen to it for hours.

Obeah Book

Roots Vibration

Joyous, anthemic, nyabinghi defiance. The masterful Leonard Dillon on song, beautifully backed by Stephen Taylor. Back-weh horns, twinkling hi-hats, perky piano. Yet more Niney genius. Ace, Tubbys-style dub.

Daweh Congo

Fi Years

Roots Vibration

Magnificent roots from 1996. An expertly dubwise rhythm, with rolling, nyabinghi drums, deep bass, and terrific trombone. Militant lyrics with no let-up; dramatically delivered, channelling Burning Spear and Pablo Moses.

Daweh Congo

Prophecy Reveal

Roots Vibration

A compelling Spear-style chant over a bumping rhythm, from 2000. Ace.

Barry Brown

Things And Time

Black Roots / Archive

The African Brothers in full effect. Barry Brown does anthemic justice to this killer song, written by Tony Tuff; produced by Sugar Minott. The reasoning is bang on the money, over a lovely rhythm. The deadly dub is by Scientist, at Tubby’s. It’s a must.
