Beezher Reviewed 2005-08-22 | ||
Pablo Moses: Pave the Way (2 Cd set: reggae/dub - Young Tree Records) Reviewed by: Beezher 08-20-2005 Upbeat, creatively produced reggae and dub music for the mases, sweet vocals. Pablo Moses is a legendary singer/songwriter with a soft and sweet voice and striking lyrics. Geoffrey Chung creatively produces and arranges these smoothly grooving songs. Musically this reggae and dub set is a dose of fun relaxation with smooth vocals and interesting production with a diverse amount of sound effects. The instrumentation is filled with fun synthy electro noises and unique sounds like the cuica, marimba-like rhythms, and cool bass rhythms. Many of Moses’ lyrics are Rasta/Afro-centric in view and thought, with some reflective and social content. FCC Clean.
