| | Reggae Gold 2000 CD
Initial packaging of REGGAE GOLD 2000 comes with a limited edition, continuous in-the-mix bonus CD compiled and mixed by Adonai.
VP Records continues its reggae compilation series with this double CD offering of new and established singers. Disc One features a variety of Jamaican music that ranges from spiritual, conscious fare like "Down by the River" by Morgan Heritage, to sexual conquest stories like "Call You," a terse duet between Lady Saw and Lexxus. Other highlights include yet another Sanchez cover (Sanchez made a name for himself covering pop hits from the U.S. in dancehall style), the Brian McKnight original "Back at One," which improves in its new guise; "Cook," another bawdy track from newcomer Lexxus; and "Stalag Y2K," a medley of songs that have all used the famous Stalag 17 riddim, including Buju Banton's "Sound Boy Killing," Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam," and Tenor Saw's "Ring the Alarm."
Disc Two is a mix of Disc One's songs, done in classic sound system fashion, with the DJ commenting all over the mix, rewinds and sound effects (bombs exploding, machine gun rat-tat and echoes). Also worth noting is that U.S. hip-hop beats, in the minimalist, blurpy style of Swizz Beats or Manny Fresh, have made their way to Jamaica, with questionable results.

Reggae Gold 2000
$13.39 REGGAE GOLD, a lengthy, 16-track compilation widely advertised on television at the time of its 1993 release, is a fine sampler of early '90s reggae. By the time-period covered on this disc, reggae had moved away from the experimental tendencies of the '70s and early '80s into a position similar to that occupied by its precursor, rock steady, in the late '60s. Early '90s reggae was a smooth and unabashedly commercial music, heavily influenced by contemporary North American and British R&B but with a Caribbean twist. REGGAE GOLD, which features such massive hits as Maxi Priest's "Dreaming," Pam Hall's "I Will Always Love You," and the rap-influenced toasting of Buju Banton in "Wickie Dickie," his duet with the sultry "Nadine Sutherland, exemplifies this strain of reggae.
Compilation producers: David Sanguinetti, Howard Chung, Karl Miller, Paul Shields.
