| | Irie Reggae Hits: Best Of Chill CD
An eccentric and intriguing mix of pop-tinged roots reggae and dancehall tracks, Irie Reggae Hits features the ubiquitous "Bad Boys" by Inner Circle, Israel Vibration's beautiful and wise "The Same Song," and Sinéad O'Connor's reggae rhythm-paced "Throw Down Your Arms." Bob Marley is represented here by the 1971 version of "Kaya" produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry, which is arguably both more Jamaican sounding and far superior to the later and better-known version recorded by Marley in 1977 for Island Records. Although Irie Reggae Hits is somewhat skewed to the pop side of things, it definitely has enough variety to make it an interesting set. ~ Steve Leggett Irie Reggae Hits: Best Of Chill Music Irie Reggae Hits: Best Of Chill Songs Irie Reggae Hits: Best Of Chill Review

The introduction of the Casio keyboard to Jamaica in 1985 began a shift in reggae music that would bring about the digital era. During that time, Tenor Saw made himself a star and provided a bridge between live and digital recording. With all the skill of earlier dancehall stars like Barrington Levy, Saw used the updated digital versions of familiar riddims to become a dancehall phenomenon in a very short period of time. His hypnotic vocals floated over digital tracks, helping to deliver dancehall into the modern era. Fever, his only full-length album release during his life, is a testament to the strength of Saw's voice as well as his songwriting. The updated riddims are made fresh with simple melodies that are repeated with the smoothness of the best roots singers who came before him. Saw's take on the seminal digital riddim "Stalag" became one of the riddim's best-known versions. "Pumpkin Belly" and the title track, "Fever," are dancehall hits with melodies that were eventually used to create Saw's (and dancehall's) late-'80s signature song, "Ring the Alarm." The absence of "Ring the Alarm" from Fever doesn't diminish the quality of the package in any ...

Dillinger was one of the best second-generation Jamaican DJs, whose biggest era came in the 1970s, although he's continued to release music. This economical double-CD set captures his biggest hit, "Cocaine in My Brain," which brought him international fame, and its follow-up, "Marijuana in My Brain." However, as a greatest-hits collection, there's plenty missing, such as "Natty King Fu" and "CB200," the track that first really brought him to fame. In other words, it's far from complete. That said, however, it does have a number of tracks that Dillinger cut at Black Ark with Lee "Scratch" Perry early in his career. While they were never hits, there's a wonderful inventiveness ...
