Maxi

Advantages: Very Soothing
Disadvantages: None

This Cd, really is The Best, but I think some of his really good ones were left out and there should have possibly been two Cd’s. I love Close to you In fact I love them all. There is just something about this music that makes you believe you have the sand and palm trees right there in front of you. It is so soothing too. I am sure it would grow on even non reggae lover’s if they took the time to listen to it. You would not be disappointed. You’ll ...

Review of Best Of Me, The - Maxi Priest

Wonderful Bob

Advantages: so good songs
Disadvantages: unfortunatly died

Bob Marley was one of the all time inspirational artists of all time. He had some great songs, which are just as good if not better today. His songs are symbols of the fight for freedom that he believed in, and he’ one of the few artists who gets involved in politics through his songs. He has some many great songs like ‘Is this Love’ ‘Jamming’ ‘Get Up Stand Up’ and ‘Redemption Song’ that it difficult ...
...very upbeat and uplifting, even inspiring. Bob Marley put Reggae music on the map, his songs were embraced in almost every country, his death was sad and tragic, cut short when he was at his prime. But, his music will stay with us for a very long time. ...

Review of Bob Marley And Friends - Various Artists

A legend for sure

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...album ‘Legend’ the Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers, is by far my precious CD, even though I have hundreds, I regard this as one of my best. It has something about it, which makes me put it on top of my CD rack. Yet, I can’t put my finger on it. The songs are equally as excellent as one another. It features: 1. Is this Love 2. No woman no cry 3. Could you be loved 4. Three little birds 5. Buffalo Soldier 6. Get up stand up 7. ...
...shot the sheriff 10. Waiting in Vain 11. Redemption Song 12. Satisfy my soul 13. Exodus 14. Jamming My favourite song has to be ‘Redemption Song’, it’s truly a marvellous piece of music. The lyrics are excellent, and you can never get tired of listening to the tracks. An excellent artist one which will be remembered for years to come, no doubt in that at all. ...

Review of Bob Marley - Bob Marley

Him Name Buju Banton... Nahh Mr. Mention

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Ends on a track that's weaker than the rest

“Mr. Mention” was released in 1992 as the second album from the Jamaican Dancehall musician Buju Banton. It dropped soon after his debut (within a year) and so had him showing just how productive he could be at the time as he brought lots of his Dancehall material (that became much more Reggae-styled as his career developed and he embraced Rastafarians ways. 1. “Batty Rider” The album opens up with one of the biggest singles that he had released ...
...that here you get him blasting through a fly tune that has him bringing through the sort of controversial lyrics that gave him notoriety when he broke into the game at the age of 15 with “Boom Bye Bye”. It is a hardcore tune, but one that I can’t say is really for all due to the themes. **Five Stars** 2. “Love How The Gal-Dem Flex” This is a big tune on the release and one that is seen to build upon the sorts of things that were heard on the first ...

Review of Mr. Mention - Buju Banton

Dawning of a New Era: AMAZING!

Advantages: Perfect in every way! So many tracks!
Disadvantages: Nothing

...one of them! Dawning of a New Era gathers together tracks from the classic era of reggae, 1968 & '69, and like the equally-essential "Dancehall '69", was compiled by Michael De Koningh, which means you get an impeccable selection of prime reggae, beginning with the massive tune "John Jones" from Rudy Mills. From there highlights include the so-terrible-it's-brilliant "Rescue Me" by The Reggae Girls, the even better "Su Su Su" by The Pioneers, a perfect ...
...Flint", and "Reggae Hit the Town" - the absolute classic tune from The Ethiopians, plus my personal favourite - "Splash Down" by The Crystalites, a driving instrumental which could be used as the musical dictionary term for "skinhead reggae instrumental" (if there was such a thing), it's so good. With a great mix of skin organ instrumentals and vocal anthems, and with two CDs there are so many classics pakced on here that you'll have a fantastic ...
