...on the album. 06 - Best Friend, good song, yet another chart hit, but just average compared to the rest of the album. 07 - Rankin Full Stop - this is the first song I heard by The Beat many years ago and is a brilliant ska beat. Should bring back lots of memories. 08 - Can't Get used To Losing You - one of their more main stream songs, brilliant love song, amazing how many can be done with ska and not feel wrong, great beat and vocal combo. 09 ...
...average than some of their best stuff, but considering everyone song on the album was a hit...its not bad. 11 - To Nice To Talk To - great song - a reminder how stupid I used to feel as a teenage when faced with someone I had a crush on. 12 - Doors Of Your Heart - my favourite song on the album, great lyrics, vocals and music arrangement, explains why it was a hit.

It has a slightly eary feel to it but the next track Cool Blue Lady will bring you back up to speed a ... Read review

a Classic Reggae only 3 years old and still gets rinsed on my i pod, a brilliatn listen for all. a must buy for the average reggae fan! a monumental masterpieice which slowly enfolds into the abyss that is reggae and ska, a very nicely produced, melodic, thought provoking, ganja smoking, mellow headed album, a very chilled out and relaxed vibe to the whole mixtape. definetly a sublte skankers vibe to it, you can still get down to this and skank ...

...the dub connection from dc by earl morgan some new techinques used here, diverse production skills and crazy off beat effects bring the true elements of dub out of the woodworks! The way the album progress's realy brings out some true roots elements and manifests into a dreamwork of an album, i could go technical into how its produced, but i want the music to speak for it itself its very well produced and diserves the up most respect. this is ...
