| | Augustus Pablo Skanking With Pablo: Melodica For Hire 1971-1977 CD Augustus Pablo Discography of CDs
Jamaica's Augustus Pablo took what was essentially a child's toy, the melodica, and turned it into something else again. The exotic, eerie, slightly Far Eastern and delicately mournful sound that Pablo coaxed from the instrument soon became a staple of Jamaican reggae and dub releases in the 1970s. This wonderful set spotlights some of Pablo's early freelance efforts for a host of island producers, including Herman Chin-Loy ("East of the River Nile"), Clive Chin ("Java"), Lee "Scratch" Perry ("Vibrate On"), Keith Hudson ("Fat Baby") and Joe Gibbs ("African Queen"), making it an almost ideal introduction to Pablo and his marvelous melodica before sheer repetition and overuse combined to turn the instrument's distinctive sound into a dub cliché. ~ Steve Leggett

| | Buju Banton Til Shiloh... CD (1995) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Skanking With Pablo: Melodica For Hire 1971-1977 CD music
$10.45
It was not pure ego that led Buju Banton to title his 1993 album VOICE OF JAMAICA; his unique voice is a gruff, melodic instrument, and his lyrics are precise. He built his career on controversial hits and slacker anthems, but has since helped spearhead a movement to swing reggae's pendulum away from sex and violence, back towards conscious lyrics and Rastafarian themes. On `TIL SHILOH, the voice of Jamaica has visibly evolved.
Still, don't let all this consciousness talk scare you; Buju's strength is his ability to create hooks that buoy the weight of his words. The choruses of singles like "Murderer," "I Wanna Be Loved" and "Champion" drill themselves into ...
