Dr. Ring-Ding – Back and Forth Reviewed by Sadie O., 5/14/07 Eclectic German Reggae/Ska/Rocksteady/whathaveyou. Great musicians throughout, wide variety of vocal styles from Dr. Ring-Ding. A compilation of his own favorites, both current and from previous records. One of the few German reggae artists to consistently make the Jamaican charts. FCC: track 13, and obvious innuendo on track 10. Faves: 1, 9, 15, 18. 1. ****Big hit w/ downtempo roots bubble by Seeed. 2. ***downtempo roots skank, gruff toast. 3. **fast classic style ska, monotone toast, with a bit of Pass the Dutchie. 4. ***jazzy uptempo ska, lounge singing – very Ocean’s 11. 5. ***uptempo riddim cobbled from bits of familiar things, bouncy early dancehall soundwith guest hip hop rap from G-Clef. 6. **midtempo dancehall with monotone toast, a bit menacing sounding. 7. ***midtempo skank, just to nice up de dance. Yay! 8. ***uptempo ska, happy singing with a bit of New Orleans influence. 9. ****midtempo roots bubble, fun lyrics, vocal duet. 10. ***midtempo ska, cover of an innuendo-laden classic. Innuendo-laden enough to be FCC violation? Use your judgement… 11. ***midtempo rock steady skank, mostly instrumental with a bit of vocal encouragement. Lots of great solos. 12. **midtempo roots skank, self-congratulatory toast. 13. FCC: “pussy looking for de cock” VERY naughty dancehall rap. May be a “fuck” in there, too. 14. ***midtempo dancehall skank, nice electronic riddim, guest rap from King Django. First rap I’ve ever heard to include the word “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”… 15. ****downtempo easy-rocking ska, fun lyrics, singing a bit back in the mix. Infectious as hell riddim. 16. **midtempo classic ska, super-sweet sax solo, diatribe against rude boy behavior. 17. ***big band midtempo calypso, nice singing, cover of a Mighty Sparrow song about witchcraft and marriage. Fine horns, goofy semi-spoken interlude. 18. ****midtempo roots skank, sweet riddim, some toast and some falsetto singing. 19. **downtempo roots skank, gruff toast celebrating girls. 20. **slow dubby syncopated skank, old-school toast. 21. ***downtempo, happy lover’s rock, sung cover of the swing classic. Melodica solo! | ||
