To the few Reggae fans here.....

[TheSanityAnnex]

Groundation just released their latest album "Upon the Bridge". I would strongly recommend picking it up. Easily the best reggae group since Bob Marley and the Wailers, and it looks like each of their albums grows stronger and stronger.

Listen to samples here: http://www.amazon.com/Upon-Bridge-Groundation/dp/B000HOJTH4/sr=1-1/qid=1163030089/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-7444026-1156625?ie=UTF8&s=music

[midgetonadonkey]

I'll have to pick that one up. The few songs you posted before are great.

"Upon the Bridge is the individual's journey beyond their known world to a bridge of mythic proportion. In their search of hope and prosperity the individual must make the journey across the bridge leading them to an unknown future."

[leemajors]

you like the congos? thx for the recommendation, i'll grab it - just saw a founding member of israel vibration is in it.

[leemajors]

also, i picked up sly and robbie's album they did with mad professor a couple years ago called dub revolutionaries - choice stuff, they are without a doubt the top reggae riddim duo ever:

For those who give a shit.

Tonight at Sam's Burger Joint, Clinton "Basie" Fearon of the Gladiators will be performing. Opening up are a few ska bands and Meta Diya.

damn damn damn, my gf doesn't get off work until 10:30 and i am watchign our daughter. i'm sure my brother would want to go though, i'll let him know about it.

[TheSanityAnnex]

lucky bastard. let us know how it is.



And yes Lee, I enjoy the Congos.

Groundation's record company Young Tree actually picked the Congos up and helped with their newest album "Give them the Rights".

[PakiDan]

Great Album!!! Thanx for the tip!

[Horry For 3!]

I'll check it out.

[midgetonadonkey]

Great fucking show.

Some shitty local ska band full of 15 year olds was the first band I saw and they kind of sucked. Meta Diya came on next and blew the stage up. He's a great performer.

Clinton Fearon came up next and played for an hour and a half. He's a fucking legend and his music clearly shows why. I recommend anyone in the Austin area go check it out tonight. Except Horry. You are gay.

[midgetonadonkey]

Maybe I'm getting old but all teenagers that "skank" look like little queers.

my brother and his gf are going to the austin show - supposedly they have some decent bands opening they have heard before on the radio - UT radio has a weekly hour long reggae show called "Jamaican Gold" and they usually play pretty quality stuff.

[chickenfried]

Michael E Johnson and the Killer Beez were the best Reggae band from the U.S.

[midgetonadonkey]

I am currently downloading 5 Groundation albums. I can't wait until they finish.

[midgetonadonkey]

I just listened to Young Tree and I have to say it is an incredible album. Perfect roots reggae from start to finish.

[SequSpur]

Reggie sucks.

[midgetonadonkey]

Reggie sucks.

Yes, Reggie Miller does suck.

[midgetonadonkey]

By the way, what's a SequSpur?

[Marklar MM]

Reggie Miller needs to see a dentist. He looks like fucking Jaws from James Bond.

[Marklar MM]

Coincidentally, Jaws started the trend for the wearing of grills on the teeth.

[midgetonadonkey]

I just bought a new grill. It's "tight".

[CuckingFunt]

Coincidentally, Jaws started the trend for the wearing of grills on the teeth.And Oddjob was a pioneer who made many strides towards the universal popularity of killing people with a hat.

Sadly, that has not yet caught on with the hip hop community.

[leemajors]

my brother loved the show, but he said the opening bands were god awful.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I just listened to Young Tree and I have to say it is an incredible album. Perfect roots reggae from start to finish.You will be saying the same thing about every single album Groundation has made. They are absolutely incredible.

[1Parker1]

Does Sean Paul fall under Reggae?

[ALVAREZ6]

Does Sean Paul fall under Reggae?
Sean Paul sucks.

[1Parker1]

Sean Paul sucks.


That's because you're not old enough to understand his deep lyrics and music :downspin: :music

[ALVAREZ6]

That's because you're not old enough to understand his deep lyrics and music :downspin: :music
Right.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Does Sean Paul fall under Reggae?
:bang Not unless you want to include Shaggy. :bang

[1Parker1]

Right.


Aww Alvie, you know I'm just kidding! Us Philly folks gotta stick together :makeout

[1Parker1]

:bang Not unless you want to include Shaggy. :bang


:lol Damn, I almost forgot about him. I never understood how that "Wasn't Me" song became such a big hit...he sucked!

[midgetonadonkey]

Sean Paul is technically a dancehall performer.

[leemajors]

Sean Paul is technically a dancehall performer.

i wish they wouldn't lump him and snow in on the reggae channel on sirius though.

[Trainwreck2100]

To the few Reggae fans here


Shoulda just titled this thread, "To all of the potheads here...."

[midgetonadonkey]

They play a shitload of Sean Paul on Reggae Riddems Sirius 32. I wish they wouldn't because I feel he is more hip-hop than reggae.

I dig that channel though. They play a good amount of roots and rocksteady tunes.

[midgetonadonkey]

I take offense...wait, no, you are right.

[Trainwreck2100]

Next time you are high, you should watch the show Bleach.

don't get me wrong, i like it too. i just question some of the stuff they put on there that makes me change channels immediately - they play some really good stuff like dennis brown, culture, tosh, wailers, etc. can't really complain about too much though, texas radio doesn't have shit in the way of roots stuff. one hour a week here in austin on the college radio station.

[midgetonadonkey]

I love the fact that they play a lot of Third World. They are the first Reggae band I ever heard. My dad bought me Third World - Serious Business when I was 10.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Just purchased the new Lee Scratch Perry album "Panic in Babylon" and would recommend taking a listen to it. He is still just as crazy as he used to be. Very nice album.

[leemajors]

i'd be hard pressed to think of a producer better than perry. he's batshit crazy but a genius. i'll grab that cd, did you get the 2 disc?

[TheSanityAnnex]

I picked up the exclusive album off of itunes. "Panic in Babylon (Bonus Tracks)". I'm not sure if its available elsewhere, but I haven't looked either.

The song "Fight to the Finish" is amazing.

finally got a chance to listen to this, good stuff. perry can toast like no other.

[nkdlunch]

Sean pauls old stuff is actually reallly good, it's his new shit which is overplayed, but he is good, please don't compare Shaggy to him

perry using the vocoder on fight to the finish is sublime, thx for the recommendation again. i have a lot of perry stuff and hadn't heard of this yet.

Yeah, that is something else when he bends his voice like that.


I just picked up King Tubby meets Jacob Miller in a Tenament Yard. Wow. I've only been able to find it on itunes though. These two together are amazing.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Don't know if you've ever heard these guys before, but check them out, its a very interesting CD.

Fat Freddy's Drop- "Based on a True Story"

They're a reggae band out of New Zealand and are pretty sweet. If anything, just download their first song off of itunes "Ernie" and then decide from there. This song is a jam.

[leemajors]

Yeah, that is something else when he bends his voice like that.

whatever you do, stay away from Jacob Miller's Natty Christmas album except for comedy's sake... :drunk

[leemajors]

if you haven't heard it, i would recommend Lee Perry's Who put the Voodoo pon Reggae, and listening to Mad Professor's dub of it called Dub Take the Voodoo out of Reggae after.

I will be checking it out as long as itunes has it.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Ok,

Got another recommendation. Not exactly reggae, but fucking delicious none the less.


Josh Martinez- "Buck Up Princess"

Check out these samples here: Nightmares, Blaze of Grey, Uphill Climb, Hobo's Lullaby, Forged, Theories, Rainy Day, Another Day, Another Dollar.

(these samples will give you a good idea how brilliant this album is)


http://www.amazon.com/Buck-Up-Princess-Josh-Martinez/dp/B0000TPBK0/sr=8-1/qid=1164830203/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-6103212-6507600?ie=UTF8&s=music

Now I guess you'd technically classify this as hiphop, but Martinez goes far beyond that boundary. And don't sleep on this album if you don't like hiphop, seriously, my mom digs more than a few songs on this album. This album has sooooooo many great songs, and the way Josh presents them is addicting. You will be caught up in his style of delivery instantly. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Again, do not sleep on music of this quality.
