Infantry Rockers – Boombala Reviewed by Sadie O., 11/1/07 Energetic and forceful modern Reggae/dub/dancehall, with bits of Latin and British-style Ska thrown in. Multinational cast based in Madison WI but hailing from South African and South America as well as US. Solid and danceable sound, revolution lyrics – good stuff! No FCCs on the radio clean disk. If you use the other one, you’re on your own! I like 6 and 10 best – they’re the dubbiest… 1. 4:54 ***forceful midtempo skank. Several vocalists/styles/ languages. 2. 4:17 ***electronica intro, then uptempo bubble, very danceable, dancehall vocals about smoking pot. 3. 3:47 **midtempo Black & White style ska with lots of keyboard. Vocals in Spanish, all about dancing. 4. 4:02 ***midtempo skank with a accordion and melodica, dancehall vocals in English and singing in Spanglish – can’t argue with the sentiment! 5. 4:22 **spoken intro, then downtempo dubby skank. Very stoned sounding vocals. 6. 3:39 ****very downtempo dub skank with lots of syndrum and electronics. Great fun! 7. 4:09 *downtempo skank, rather muffled vocals. 8. 4:07 *downtempo rather ska-based skank, sort of random vocal delivery. 9. 4:54 ***energetic midtempo skank with a rather British feel, nice vocals. 10. 3:43 ****downtempo dub skank with lots of melodica and effects. Instrumental. 11. 4:59 ***dub of track 1. | ||
