Including a secret-weapon version of Baltimore.

Freddie in his heyday like this was one of the greatest singers in reggae history.
He’s in soaring, inspirational form here, riding a hard-as-nails Niney rhythm.
The organ-led dub is dazzling. Mark Ernestus from Rhythm & Sound recently opened a set with one of its incarnations, at the already-legendary Open Ground club in Wuppertal.
Both sides, classics.

Deep Berlin steppers. Dubwise traces of our original Lagos recording — the percussion of Yinka Ogunye, the singing of fifties palmwine legend Rolling Dollar, Oscar Olimbi’s guitar lick — blend in with Moritz’ own warm Oberheim voicings, additional drumming, and cool-and-deadly rhythm track. It’s a tough, masterly dance record in fine Rhythm And Sound style (evoking vintage House, too) — which during its ten-and-a-half minutes seems to ponder time elapsed and journeys undertaken.
Reggae Land Dub is the thumping, pared-down dub of Wareika Hill Sounds’ rootical rework of Ise Nla. Magnificent trombone and percussion; expert, classical JA mixing. Brings to mind the versions of Black Man Stand Up Pan Foot.

Previously on dubplate only, this legendary UK soundsystem weapon was produced by Sly And Robbie at Maxfield Avenue in the early eighties, with (perhaps) the Mighty Travellers at the microphone. Chasmic, head-spinning. Pure murder.

Heavy, chilling Channel One.
Horace is in deep; jittery and urgent. Sly is surgically trigger-happy.
Killer.
