Anyone else have any problems with the two .au files on the
archives?

I ftp'ed them in binary mode but got a message from play(1) that
they were "invalid sound files" or something to that effect.

I cat'ed them to /dev/audio on my Sun IPC and it was like raw
and very load line noise.

Anyone know how they were recorded?

I haven't read a single thing about it here, but last month the 'Gleaner' was
beside itself with the news that Steel Pulse was to play at Clinton's inaug-
ural festivities.  Everyday there was an opinion piece saying (basically),
'The outside world is finally taking reggae seriously.  Now let's take it
seriously here in Jamaica.'  These articles were encouraging the government
to invest in reggae (not sure I agree with that), and generally promoting
the respectability of the music.  They took this tone despite the fact that
Steel Pulse is based in England and not in Jamaica.

Anyway, thought I'd pass that along, and ask if anyone saw anything about
this in the US or European press...

I don't know if he's strictly Christian- the liner notes on "Beware Dub" say,
"His lyrical vision came from his own peculiar interpretation of Rastafari,
which integrated fundamental Christian precepts with apocalyptic Rasta vision
and Afro-centrism.
Well whatever, he slams.

Spear's American label at the time, Slash, weenied out and chopped the songs 
from the album to make a single CD.  RAS Records in DC probably has the Blue

ambient dub vol. 1 - the big chill

not true dub music in the mad professor/king tubby vein but instead a 
compilation of ambient house that 'steals' a lot of dub mixing 
techniques.  the music is lightweight but definately a good groove:  
never too dancy for very long and all that.  worth checking out if you're 
into both dub and house.

There are several Culture albums available on Shanachie, including
"Two Sevens Clash", one of the best reggae albums ever made (IMO).
Shanachie is in Hohokus, NJ and they do mailorder, though they are
easy to find at record stores.  BTW, there's an article about Culture
in the current issue of Option Magazine.

The version I've heard is a reggae one; it's also regularly played on

	I've seen many examples of errors like this on liner notes. I'm just
accepting the files that are *claimed* to be transcribed or scanned in because I

I think you are referring to a song called "If I were you" by the
Wailing Souls, off their 1992 release "All over the world". IMHO
the rest of the album is a lot better than this track & is a good 
buy although it is rather commercial for my tastes, being rather
in the Ziggy Marley mould.

You're absolutely right those lyrics are incorrect.  I think we need a
review committee to make sure that those "transcribed" or "official"
lyrics are really correct.

It helps if you understand JA/Rasta culture.  For example, you would know
that it's cornmeal and not wholemeal that's sold in JA.

     Know anything about Bally Sagoo?  Well, I have one of his wham-bam CDs
and the last track (7) is a fairly good mix of reggae and punjabi music. 
This stuff is only just beginning to surface here in the US, and I don't
know much about it.  I got the CD from a friend of mine who listens to rap
and reggae, and who is also from India.  I think the trend is good, and I
hope that it continues to spread.  I also have some reggae/rap mixes.
