Original Sounds Of The Zion (Remixed) - Zion Train

Advantages: Remastered tunes, a must have for the Bob Marley Collection
Disadvantages: Less well known album

...Another one of my favourite Bob Marley Albums. Tracks on the album unclude: 1. COMING IN FROM THE COLD 2. REAL SITUATION 3. BAD CARD 4. WE AND DEM 5. WORK 6. ZION TRAIN 7. PIMPER'S PARADISE 8. COULD YOU BE LOVED 9. FOREVER LOVING JAH 10. REDEMPTION SONG This album is less often heard playing than albums such as Legend and Exodus. It is none-the less easy to listen to with songs inspiring you to sit back and think about life. The most famous song on the album has to be the old classic "Redemption Song". This CD has been digitally remastered to meet the sound quality requirements of the modern CD player. It can also be purchased in many places for less than £10. A real bargin and a must have for the serious Bob Marley collection.... Read review

Work Sounds like it should be the title a heavy early 90s dance track, but it's a cool breeze in an otherwise politically intense album. Has some very muso Steely Dan-like guitar bits throughout and some affecting, period Afro chants. The backing track sounds like reggae-by-numbers and as such is rather laboured throughout. So, apt title then. 6. Zion Train 18 minutes in and already we're on the sixth track. I have to say this album is a reviewers dream, with an average track length of three minutes... Read review

...rapping over the scratched beat. 9/10 [Chali] – This is just a telephone skit with the producers of the next track. Frgt/10 - Alchemist Feat Chali 2na – This is a slow rock song with various beat over it. It is a kind of techno rock song it is a good original song and a very good beat. 7/10 P5hng Me A*wy - Mike Shinoda Feat Stephen Richards – this songs starts of with a slow beat and a drumming sound. It then goes into a heavier beat more metal beat. It is very good It’s a quite a slow song but very good song. 7/10 Plc.4 Mie Haed - Amp Live Feat Zion – This is a Rock Hip-hop combo. It starts of with a rap tehn it goes in to a heavy song. Not my favourite song but good – 6/10 X-Ecutioner Style - Feat Black Thought – A another rap hip hop song, remixed by the record scathes. Very similar to Plc.4 Mie Haed H! Vltg3 - Evidence... Read review
