By the middle of the '90s, Beres Hammond had settled on a predictable pattern for his albums, and Love from a Distance is no different than any of his previous few releases. This is both for better and for worse. Hammond is one of the finest and most soulful reggae vocalists, so it is a pleasure to simply hear him sing. However, the production is careless and the songs are uneven, which makes the record a frustrating listen. Still, tracks like "Sweet Lies" and "Take Time to Love," which features guest vocals by Shaggy, are first-rate and there are enough strong songs to satisfy fans, even though there aren't enough to win him new ones. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Love From A Distance music CDs
$13.25 
This is a sensational set that bundles up a dozen Beres Hammond hits, throwing its net beyond the Penthouse and Xterminator labels, which are well-served elsewhere. With that said, buyers still get one Philip "Fatis" Burrell production, the fabulous "Move Along," but it rubs shoulders with equally heavy hitters from Steely & Clevie, Tapper Zukie, a trio from Richard Bell, Willie Lindo, and more. As Sweetness suggests, the majority of the numbers revolve around matters of the heart, and what a sweet group of songs they are. The title track is almost dizzy from all the sugar seeping through in an effervescent confection that's totally irresistible, and if it's "Sugar Yu Want," Hammond happily serves it up in heaping doses on this smash classic. And what woman can resist his pleas to "Come Back Home" when he fills them with such soulful desire? Hammond is the master of romance and all it takes is "One Dance" to weave his spell and declare that "I'm So in Love," with the latter boasting a particularly tour de force emotive ...
| | Beres Hammond Day In The Life... CD (1998)
Love From A Distance songs
$13.39
An album that had critics reaching for superlatives, A Day in the Life... was yet another magnificent set from Beres Hammond, an artist who seems incapable of anything less. This is a punchier record than its predecessor, Love From a Distance. The rhythms are sharper with edgier dancehall atmospheres than the gentler moods that blossomed on Love. But love is still an important theme in all its joy and passion, and Hammond explores it across a myriad of moods from the gentle romance of "Always Be There" to the fiery torch song "All I Need." But which woman is he singing about, for elsewhere he's caught in a "Two Sweet Love Affair," a soul stirrer about a love triangle. That number has a funky feel, while in contrast "Sorry Mi Brethren" is pure effervescence, an absolute charmer where Hammond delicately turns down a night out with the boys to stay in with his best girl. So many ladies, so ...

Love From A Distance songs

From Blondie to the Police to the Clash, plenty of rockers have been influenced by reggae over the years -- and that isn't counting all the ska-punk bands that emerged in the '80s and '90s. Pepper certainly isn't the first band to blend alternative rock, punk, and reggae, but while the Hawaiian trio's second album, Kona Town, isn't groundbreaking, it is definitely above average -- not to mention quite likable. Although not innovative, Pepper isn't one of those faceless, cookie-cutter ska-punk combos that sets out to emulate the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but isn't nearly as impressive. Pepper ...
