Serve Jah - Luciano

Advantages: Very rich in styles
Disadvantages: Some songa a little too gloomy

..., producing a well put together song. (3/5) 6. "Jah Is Alive" (with Charlie Chaplin) - Promoting Luciano's spiritual side, the song emphasizes the importance of recognising the creator. (4/5) 7. "Nature Boy" - The smoothest song on this album where Luciano sings slower and stronger giving a melancholy feeling to the song. (3/5) 8. "Turn Your Life Around" - Another very conscious message in the chorus of the song but surprisingly upbeat and catchy. (4/5) 9. "Throw Out The Life Line" - A somewhat more grave track as it calls out to the listener to help his/her neighbour in need. (4/5) 10. "Give Thanks" - Here Luciano brilliantly combines his naturally smooth singing with the occasional dancehall mix, with even sound system effects and 'one drops' can be hear on the track. Not to mention, the song fascinating enough is about praising... Read review

Advantages: Tracks 1,4 & 8 are great.
Disadvantages: The rest soon get boring.

...’ but this light hopeful track is framed by Sizzla’s voice crying out to the youth. This is probably the problem with Sizzla, his voice is often so flawless and so flexible that it shows other sounds up when he’s singing on a poor rhythm. The lyrics are as with the rest of this album, great, but the track is really just for the vocals. It never really breaks into anything too exciting but rather sticks with a slightly jumpy drum/synthesizer vibe.

Advantages: It's emphasized loss of time and space
Disadvantages: Head hurts after listening more than 77 times

.... However, just to be lucid, the next "Full circle R.P.S. (No. 7)" will kill your thirst for Mexican tequila on the cold German sun that warms the Turkish cafeteria. Have some please, do chill. Who the bloody hell is Jah Wobble? The man on the bass, your kerosene ignition that comes with my favorite "Mystery R.P.S. (No. 8)" Damn!!!! I believe that this is the core of the album, its 9th circle of pleasure. Can you feel the wind? Its temperate progression is simply remarkable even after you hear it 78 times as I did. Listen but do not inhale! It gets to you. Shall we continue? "Trench warfare" gets psy-avangard. NO, Miles Davis did not forget how to play the trumpet and allowed to perform in this song. It's purely a horrid way of artistic expression, get used to it. For that matter, "Twilight world" can rage for not being in a Tarantino... Read review
