Reggae Hits 35
The latest in U.K. label Jet Star's long-running Reggae Hits series, this one features some of the biggest Jamaican and U.K. rhythm hits from 2005, including the pulsing and throbbing "Love Is" by Jah Cure, the irritating but ultimately completely infectious "Ring Ding Ding" by LOC, the dancehall pop of "Gimmi Little Bit" by veteran Capleton, and Elephant Man blustering his way through "Sesame Street." A bonus DVD features a half-dozen video versions of some of these tracks, including LOC's "Ring Ding Ding." Bright, fun, and full of energy, this set proves there's still a lot more gold to be found in those tireless reggae rhythms. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
