You might remember Ryan Moore (the genius behind TCDSS) from issue #26. Here he breaks his formula of instrumental dub by building up tracks then bringing a portable recording rig around to some major talent to add their vocals and horns. What a great idea. Appearances by Big Youth, Mykal Rose (Black Uhuru), Luciano, Ranking Joe and The Mighty Three Horns. If you think classic reggae has been replaced by morons like Sean Paul, dig this CD out and enjoy. Probably my favorite CD at the moment.
