Purchase Get Up, Stand Up CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | B-Tribe Sensual Sensual CD (1998)
Get Up, Stand Up songs
 $9.09   
Principally recorded at Ocean Groove Studios, Miami Beach, Florida and Mediterranneo Studios, San Jose, Ibiza from 1996-1997.
The third album from the Barcelona Tribe of Soulsters (German producer Claus Zundel, or "The Brave") leaves its predecessors' predilection for German techno beats and English vocals far behind. Instead, the emphasis distinctly moves from the dance club to the bedroom, aided by Paco Fernandez's flamenco guitar. "Alegria" benefits from a slow, captivatingly steady beat that gently and unceasingly propels Fernandez's impassioned arpeggios and Arrantza Aida's wailing vocals. The title track ...
| | Specials CD (1979) Remastered; Enhanced CD
Get Up, Stand Up album
$11.35  (MP3 Available for Download)
Produced by Elvis Costello, this self-titled 1979 debut quickly became gospel to the wave of ska then sweeping England. Infusing the catchy, jumpy music developed by artists like the Skatalites and Prince Buster a generation before them with punk's youthful disenfranchisement, bands like the Specials, the Selecter and Madness gave birth to a movement, one which strove for such noble goals as racial unity (then a particularly sore issue in Britain) and non-violence. THE SPECIALS states these ideals magnificently, wrapping them in tunes bursting with energy--tight, sincere and masterful.
Ska's musical style is an easy one to discern--syncopated rhythm guitar, infectious rhythms, horn sections a-go-go; vocals often reach the level of a rant, and the lyrics are usually of utmost import. The album's opener and by far its most recognized tune "A Message To You Rudy" spoke frankly and directly to those youngsters tempted towards the gangster life. "Do the Dog" is more outright social statement--an earnest appeal not to fall into life's easy, safe categories, be they military or social. Societal issues of every stripe are attacked--from ...

"All Star" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
When Smash Mouth hit with the impossibly catchy "Walking on the Sun," many dismissed them as a one-hit wonder, but ASTRO LOUNGE finds the band bidding for a longevity that belies flash-in-the-pan ...

| | Pato Banton Best Of... Ten Best Series CD (2001)
Get Up, Stand Up CD music
$7.59
Birmingham, England native Pato Banton (born Patrick Murray) was mentored by the English Beat's Ranking Roger, and actually made his debut guesting on Special Beat Service. But it's as a solo artist he's made his particular mark, with a chirpy mix of consciousness and humor that's both disarming and attractive, combining patois (or "patwa" as he calls it) and English. "Never Give In," the title of his first album, helped establish his reputation as a toaster, then the hilarious "Don't Sniff Coke," with its none-too-subtle message, proved to be a perfect follow-up, while "Gwarn!" showed that he truly did possess toasting skills, moving at hyper speed through the lyrics in a manner to which other dancehall wannabes could only aspire. "Pato And Roger Come Again" brings his mentor ...
| | Muzik City: The Story Of Trojan CDs (2003) Import
Get Up, Stand Up MP3 Album
$68.69
More of a history lesson than a good listen in total, Muzik City is the story of Trojan, warts and all. Those looking for a good selection of the reggae label's best moments have plenty of other choices and might want to start with the great Tighten Up collections or wait for the 50th release in Trojan's three-CD series (a greatest-hits box to be compiled by votes from fans and due in 2004). Anyone who is a die-hard Trojan enthusiast will find plenty of surprises, secrets, and a really well done booklet to paw through. The first two discs of Muzik City are truly some of the greatest moments in rocksteady and roots reggae. But just like a two-CD Motown collection, this is really just the tip of the iceberg and John Holt, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Big Youth, and others have many more great moments to investigate. If all four CDs had focused on the hits and highlights this would truly be the box to own, but the third CD is hardly meant for repeat listening. Many of the disc's "Rarities & Oddities" are downright embarrassing (which the always honest liner notes are happy to point out). Trojan's forays into the worlds of calypso, novelty, and pop music were horribly misguided, and disc three is full of them (including a horrific reggae and yodeling matchup). Hard to imagine laughing at the stately Trojan label, but once that's over it's on to disc four's treasure chest of rarities. The hardcore should rightfully ...

| | Frontier Index CD (2005)
Get Up, Stand Up album
$13.85 (MP3 Available for Download)
Although Frontier Index's press and promotion seem to play up the alt-country angle of their sound, the band's self-titled album is more country-influenced than it is country-rock. The record offers reasonably high-quality guitar rock, with songs emphasizing winsome vulnerability, though never in a sappy way. The vocals are well-suited to this kind of material, as they're youthfully engaging in a fashion that suggests they might have a hard time forcing themselves to be tough and nasty. Fortunately, they don't try their hands at the hard stuff, instead going for a generally more languorous roots rock feel. Comparisons to fellow Canadian Neil Young and Young-influenced artists are going to be inevitable on hearing "I Ain't Hurtin'," with its melancholy combination of harmonica with electric and acoustic guitars. Most of the time, however, Frontier Index don't sound especially like Young; if anyone, they sound rather like a 2005 alternative rock version of the late-'60s persona of one of Young's early bandmates, Richie Furay. The slow and fragile tunes, interestingly, are the ones that ...
