Conscious Party
Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz of Talking Heads handled producing chores for this 1988 release, which happily coincided with the Melody Makers' "reggae period." The title track captures the true reggae spirit--serious philosophy, spliffs, sunshine, and plenty fun. The group had yet to reach full maturity, butConscious Party, which spun off hit singles "Tumbling Down" and "Tomorrow People," still stands as one of their most successful.--Elena Oumano
