| | 24 Karat Gold Super Mix: 80'S Reggae Dancehall Classics CD
Reggae fans nostalgic for the early days of dancehall will get a kick out of this compilation, which features 24 hits from the early to late 1980s, the period during which dancehall was emerging as a distinct reggae subgenre but well before the ascendancy of the computerized rhythms and ragga. Most of these songs are strictly old school: "Zungu Zeng" by Yellowman, "Kushung Peng" and "Cassandra" by Frankie Paul, "Wa Do Dem" by Eek-A-Mouse, and so on. The most recent hitmaker represented is Shabba Ranks, whose "Caan Dun" closes the program. The tracks are strung together end-to-end in "megamix" style, which is fine, but too often it seems like that format was used as an excuse to trim the songs excessively -- the average track length is just over two minutes, and in some cases the editing is blatant and distracting. That doesn't stop 24 Karat Gold from being very enjoyable, but it's an annoyance. ~ Rick Anderson

Proto-ska band Madness record a collection of covers on DANGERMEN SESSIONS.
Ten years after their 1994 reformation, '80s British pop-reggae heroes Madness adopted the Dangermen moniker to enable a return to their roots performing reggae and ska in sweaty London pubs. In placing their own inimitable stamp both on reggae classics like Max Romeo's "Chase the Devil" and pop covers like Jose Feliciano's "Rain," THE DANGERMEN SESSIONS captures the band sounding just as fresh and energized as when they first erupted onto the London scene in 1979. Their irresistibly danceable take on the Kinks' "Lola" recalls a rootsier UB40, while over the churning rhythm of "Israelites" vocalist Suggs provides the best approximation of Desmond Dekker's patois-laced lyrics to date.

On the follow-up to his Atlantic debut, guitarist and producer Hiram Bullock pulled out all the stops and dove wholeheartedly onto the "funk" side of jazz-funk and left out the jazz. No, that's not a bad thing. If anything, Way Kool feels a lot more like a funky rock record than anything else. With a handpicked cast of studio greats, Bullock set out to make a party record and he did it. From the screaming guitar work on "Da Alley," to the deeply funky George Duke-styled keys and guitar wonk on "Show Me" (with its Prince-styled ...
