yeah, you GOTZ to get it...it contains some stuff that wasn't released,
including "Iron Lion Zion" & "Why Shold I", which i can't see why they
weren't, because both of them are some of the best on there (except

Ok, here's a FAQ if I ever saw one:

GIMME SOME DUB POINTERS! 

I've been there a bit already - got some LKJ, Agustus Pablo, 
Lee Perry, Upsetters, but I have yet to find the really mind
searing spaced out heavy dub that I hear hints of once in awhile. 
I want loads of echo, pans and sounds like the universe is
being ripped apart at the seams in front of me. Skip the drum
machines unless they're very tastefully done, lay on the heavy
bass and crank up the volume, kick back and close your eyes...

Help me find it! My last try was ROIR's TOWERING DUB INFERNO 
and only a couple of tracks get close to as heavy as I'd hoped. 

I keep getting pointers to African Headcharge, but that stuff is
very steeply priced - is it worth it?

The movie starred Jimmy Cliff in the usual sad story of a kid who
comes to the big city, gets involved in crime and dies in the end.
Among the songs are a couple of Jimmy Cliff hits (The Harder They Come
and Many Rivers To Cross, I think) and by Desmond Dekker (Shanty Town,
also known as 007) Toots And The Maytals (Pressure Drop, Sweet And
Dandy) etc.

I'm pretty sure the movie is on tape but I can't say for sure.

I tried this before but it didn't seem to make it through..

Hey, people... great group!

One of my favourite albums is a Steel Pulse compilation CD that
contains the following tracks:

  Sound System, Babylon Makes the Rules, Don't Give In, Soldiers, 
  Prodigal Son, Ku Klux Klan, Macka Splaff, Drug Squad, Reggae Fever,
  and Handsworth Revolution.
                                    (Island Masters, 1985, IMCD 33)

Every track is great: singable lyrics, deep grooves, clear recordings,
and fantastic musicianship from the whole band.

I've tried to find more reggae as meaty, but in the main I've been 
repeatedly dissappointed... Bob Marley has only a few things
as good (IMHO) and even Steel Pulse have changed in recent years
and have gone all electronic drum machines and ragamuffin (ugh).

Any recommendations from you people that compare favourably against
Steel Pulse at their best?

I agree!  Spread the word!

I've heard really good things about Mad Scientist -- any one know more?


Also, in retro to the questions about terms, one good source is the fairly 
interesting photo-book called Reggae (I wish I remembered the author's name)
It's just like all those other Omnibus Press books (although I can't even
promise that they published it!  And by now you're saying, "Thanks Joe for
all this concrete information! :-)  
  Anyway, it has some amazing shots of Herb warehouses, and snippets about 
lots of artists, and also a chapter about Rastafarian theology, including
a one-page glossary with some good phrases, although I can't remember 
specific answers to those questions posted.  They're not too tough to get
from context, though.

SKANKING:  If you like reggae, you do this.  It's the uncontrollable swaying-
dancing that a groovin riddim sets you to.  "Easy Skankin -- Skankin' it Easy!"

RANKING:  I think that this is an appropriation of the idea of having rank on
someone -- therefore, Ranking Roger, for example, is a really cool guy 
(although not necessarily with any title or anything)

NATTY:  Just like a natty dresser, I think - cool, or sharp, or slick, or 
whatever.  So Natty Dread has nice dreads.

KINKY:  I really think that this one also is basically the common def. that
doesn't mean wavy or curly but more sexual.  Hence, Miss Brown "had brown sugar
all over her boogawooga..."  The imagination runs rampant!

Finally, I am PSYCHED to finally see r.m.reggae!  Thanks to all for voting yes!

He's based in Sweden, so it might not be easy to find in North America.
I've got a CD of "Hello Afrika" in my hand now (bought it in Finland!),

If you're talking about "Funky Reggae Party", I believe its
one of the old Bob Marley & the Wailers tunes. I think Toots
did it originally, but then Bob & co. did it again under the
guidance of Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Personally, Steel Pulse has never done it for me, but that's a matter
of taste and subjectivity.:-)  Some other reggae gems to recommend (and
obviously not close to a complete list:-})...

	- *Anything* in the Bob Marley/Tuff Gong catalogue 
	- Peter Tosh - Bush Doctor
		       Legalize It
		       Live
	- Mighty Diamonds - Heads of Government (Jamaican import -- hot!!!)
	- Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston (compilation)
				Toots Live
	- The Harder They Come soundtrack
	- Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey
			  Live
	- Black Uhuru - Red (great!!!)
			Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
			Live
			Sinsemilla
	- Mikey Dread - Beyond World War III (interesting rock influences
				in a wild mix)
	- many of the "Live At Reggae Sunsplash" albums/compilations
	- Rita Marley - Who Feels It Knows It

Plus, good quality soundboards of live Bob Marley exist (5/26/73 London
(BBC) is well worth obtaining).  I also own a great 90 min. board of
a show The Wailer Band played here in Rochester last year (The Wailer
Band led by Junior Marvin & Familyman Barrett.

 Hola!

   Whilst attending university at the Unversity of Nebraska,
the school radio station had an afternoon reggae program that
I would tape occasionally.  I happened to dig up one of these
tapes a few years ago and really heard for the first time a song
called, I think, "Reggae Party".  Ever since I've been trying to
determine who the artist or group is who performed it.  Initially
I thought it was Toots and the Maytalls, but I've never found it
in any of the catalogues.  Can someone help me out with this one?



                                          Thanks,

They have a live album out now (commemorating the rastafarian centennial).
They did some of their early stuff on that - not as good as the studio
recordings but good if you're looking for some live versions (the KKK
and Soldiers live versions are great!).

Steel Pulse's last album was a disaster as far as I was concerned! Even
the hit single Taxi Driver did not appeal to me (I like the dub version
on the CD though!). Comparing Steel Pulse with Marley and the Wailers, hmmm -
Steel Pulse is a much tighter band musically, Marley's main appeal (at least
for me) was in the looseness and simplicity of his music - it was earthy and
packed with emotion, to the point that his raspy voice became a natural part
of the rhythm. I've often heard Europeans and Americans state that
Marley could not sing and wonder how his music could have such appeal - 
they miss the point! It's not a question of his technical singing ability,
it's more his ability to put LIFE into the words - can you imagine `No
Woman No Cry' sung by say Lionel Richie or Luther Vandross (arghhh!)?
Ofcourse we had Eric Clapton do `I Shot the Sheriff' but his rendition
does not breathe the same life into the words as Marley's original. 

>
>Any recommendations from you people that compare favourably against

Early Aswad stuff is great. They are a British reggae group. First album I
heard was sometime in the mid eighties (one with African Children, can't
recall the name - it was a live album - great stuff!). I
think they have a compilation of their early hits (including
Bubbling, Nuclear Soldier, Cool Nuh (my favourite), Wrapped Up, etc.). 
They've gone the usual commercial path of late, but their music now is much
more appealing than current Steel Pulse and Third World music.

When I played in a reggae group I was told that a "skank" is the
basic guitar chord played on two and four.  A "ska" was the
same thing but 4 times faster (on each off-beat).  I'm sure these
terms have other meanings too.  "bubble-up" was what the keyboard
player did on the organ.  A pattern that involved playing chords in
each hand and alternating them.

>Natty:  As in "natty dread"

Isn't this what it has always meant?  i.e., "keen" or "cool" but usually

	Unless that song is very different from everything else I've heard
from The Clash, I'd be inclined to doubt it.  The song I heard did not sound
at all like the Clash--  and it definitely had a reggae/ska sound. 

	Anything is possible, of course.  I'll go borrow that album from a
friend and see if it is the song I'm looking for.  If it is, I'll post
that info.
