As the formerly cassette-only ROIR label continues to slowly reissue its catalog of classic punk, reggae and ska titles on CD, hidden treasures are coming to light again, some for the first time in years. Ras Michael, one of the foremost exponents of traditional Nyahbinghi drumming and chanting, recorded his Rastafari album in 1972, and a dub version of that album was released simultaneously in a limited edition. Scraps of it have turned up from time to time, some on legitimate releases and some not, but ROIR's cassette reissue in 1989 was the first complete and fully licensed release since the original vinyl first came out. It's too bad the non-dub version isn't included as well (there's plenty of space on the disc), but this CD is still a treasure. Ras Michael and his crew of drummers are joined by reggae demigods Carlton "Santa" Davis (drum set), Robbie Shakespeare (bass), Tommy McCook (flute), Earl "Chinna" Smith (guitar), and others, and the fusion of electric, urban reggae and organic, rural Nyahbinghi drumming is perfect. Particular highlights include the dub versions of "None a Jah Jah Children No Cry" (recommended especially in conjunction with its vocal version) and the very dry and heavy "In Zion." ~ Rick Anderson
Includes liner notes by Elena Oumano.
Digitally remastered by Doug Pomeroy.The Wire (10/99, p.61) - "...foregrounds the interplay of the akete, funde and repeater drums, providing space for musicians...to move in and out of the mix. The result is a set of off-kilter almost-funk, a masterpiece of propulsive restraint..."
The Wire (12/00, p.62) - "...One of his best [albums], both wild and processional at the same time....this album can be perfectly programmed with any Sun Ra from the early 70s..."

Purchase Rastafari Dub CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Can't Stop A Man: The Best Of Beres Hammond CDs (2003)
Rastafari Dub album
 $19.95    
Recorded between 1976 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Rob Kenner.
Can't Stop a Man collects some of Beres Hammond's biggest Jamaican hits, beginning with his first, "One Step Ahead" from 1976, a song produced by Willie Lindo. Moving chronologically through to 2003's sweet and infectious "Dancehall Vibes," which features Big Youth and is one of the highlights here, this two-disc set is a wonderful introduction to this woefully underappreciated singer and writer. With a voice that combines Marvin Gaye's subtle phrasing, Sam Cooke's easy charm, and the soulful power of a David Ruffin, Hammond has a talent for graceful, easy-flowing lovers rock, but he has also ...

Rastafari Dub CD music
$11.99 
The Aquabats' second album, The Fury of the Aquabats fulfills the promise of their debut, offering an infectious collection of ska-punk. Although the group's songwriting is a little uneven, and they have the tendency to wallow in sophomoric, "wacky" humor, they have ...

There are few musicians whose music has indisputably advanced humanity. Reggae figurehead Bob Marley--a songwriter, poet, activist, and visionary--is one of them. The idea that a single-disc collection could represent the depth, breadth, and power of Marley's achievement is far-fetched, but LEGEND makes an excellent attempt. Every single one of its tracks is outstanding, and the artist's different faces--revolutionary ("Get Up Stand Up"), romantic ("Is This Love"), devout Rastafarian ("Buffalo Soldier"), and prophet ("One Love/People Get Ready") are equally represented.
In addition to his moving message of love and unity, Marley is a master songwriter, as the timelessness of songs like "Stir It Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," and the gorgeous, poignant "Redemption Song" proves. Of course, a true sampling of Marley's output would require some early ska material, the Wailer's debut (CATCH A FIRE), ...

Rastafari Dub album
$9.79
This import collection covers much of the group's output for Chris Blackwell's Island Records label. It focuses on the golden years of the band's career, when Michael Rose and Puma Jones (the latter of whom died an untimely death in the late '80s) were still members.
Produced by Sly & Robbie at the height of their powers, these tracks have an honesty and fury, and include some of Black Uhuru's grittier material, rather than a simple compilation of pop hits. The ...
