The definitive version of this sufferers’ anthem, in the best format, with a killer dub following up the deejay cut on the flip.
Two great sides: MF in fine sufferers style on a flinty Roots Radics version of No More Will I Roam (though you can’t refine Niney); and a vibesing Rockfort Rock from Ranking Joe, on the flip.
JB is the name the deejay Trinity uses when he sings. Here he is, nailing a sombre, mid-tempo bubbler for Sly and Robbie; alongside General Lee, laid-back and entertaining on Unmetered Taxi. Classic, rootical, early-nineties rubadub.
Infectiously spirited do-over of Horace Andy’s Higher Range. In three parts — vocal, toast, melodica dub.
Infectious, party-hearty, yes yes y’all rapping, from deep in the early-80s.
Peter Brown’s in-house Land Of Hits Orchestra gives up the instrumental, on the flip.
This started out a couple of years ago as a grounation drumming session above the old headquarters of the Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari, in Wareika Hill, Kingston, JA. Four funde, a repeta and a bass drum. Back in London, contributing flute and guitar, Kenrick Diggory unbottled the deep rootical psychedelia and sheer awe of Hunting — the Keith-Hudson-versus-Count-Ossie wonder of the world — and Tapes added electronics, a shot of Drum Song… and a giddily intense binghi dub.
At last, after a long break… WM006.
A four-track EP by Morgan Louis — from the 004 showcase — plus three locked grooves.
Pedigree, locomotive, deep steppers.
A cosmic, percussive jam and bitter-sweet electroid house — both veering sharply into dark, steely, dubwise self-harm. Allegedly the fiftieth utterance of our favourite dance music label in the world. Hats off! More worries!
D.K. and Low Jack.
A militant steppers — reminiscent of Johnny Clarke’s Blood Dunza — with magnificent trombone-playing by Vin Gordon. Shaka fire. Ace.
