Heavy reggae grooves from Adrian Sherwood and the On-U gang, and what could well be the core of the next On-U gang – Bubblers Ogilvie on drums and Marley Wright on guitar and soulful, conscious vocals. Priest has sung with African Head Charge, Asian Dub Foundation, and others. Some of this is digi-dub with vocals (lots of electronic – and maybe a bit lifeless – riddim tracks) and some borders on metal (particularly the aggressively noisy guitar parts). The rest runs from roots to R&B to dancehall. 1. Aw, this is almost pleasant with its tropical, loping rhythm … but wait, the lyrics are about being in a dungeon, albeit metaphorical 2. Shards of distorted guitar bring this alive; chunky rhythm 3. Priest hands the mic to deep-voiced Simon Bogle for a ragamuffin recital over a slick bassline and cool slide guitar 4. An upbeat rhythm, lyrics about the slave trade 5. Eh … 6. Slower, lazy rhythm 7. Soulful, slow 8. Passably funky fast groove 9. Simple riddim, fast-talking rap, goofiness, and dub FX 10. What, my third eye? “Visionary … enlightenment.”; feel-good vibe 11. Overlapping, breakbeat-ish rhythms but dull vox 12. Urge to “rise up” … so more conscious lyrics over an easy groove; the pipe/whistle is a nice touch | ||
