good dancehall album Advantages: A nice mix of hard and mellow dancehall tracks Disadvantages: some of the songs on the album are older singles This album contains a list of tracks that will definitely get the party going. When you plug this in you'll be listening to hit after hit. Its got a nice mix that will quench the taste of any reggae & dancehall fan, whether it be hardcore dancehall or soft reggae. There are some very good guest appearances on there, like the legendary Wayne Marshall and the sexy Nina Sky. Its just one of those records where you press play and just let it go. There ...

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 ...

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 ... john_harrison 21.09.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Dawning Of A New Era (The Roots Of Skinhead Reggae) - Various Artists	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Dancehall '69: The best skinhead reggae comp out there! Advantages: Loads of tracks, amazing and obscure selection, great notes, EVERYTHING! Disadvantages: None This album, compiled by Michael De Koningh, is the best compilation of Skinhead Reggae, period (for those who want to know, skinhead reggae is - very basically - early reggae from around '68-71). It contains some monster rarities (which are still fantastic tunes, which will please both newbies and obsessive collectors alike), from obscure subsidiary record labels of Trojan and Pama records such as Gas, Camel, Escort, Joe, Big Shot, Grape, and Bullet. ... ...be a horrific task and would cost you a fortune, so be thankful for people like Mr De Koningh! This CD has it's own haunting vibe, it's an absolute revelation, with some of the best music ever released which otherwise would only have been be heard by the peope who bought the original 7" in '69! One of the most amazing things about this album is that you can listen to the tracks with absolutely no knowledge of the music, yet the sound is so raw, compelling, ... john_harrison 21.09.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Dancehall '69 - Various Artists	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...
