Re: hard albums
Mandingo Hot Steppers 'Afrikan History' is a roots collection of Mandingo Williams' productions. If you like early 1980s stuff then this one's recommended.
Memory of Justice Band is a very enjoyable (though hard to find) album produced by Sly and Robbie. This one has some synthesized/pre-digital sounds like some of Ini Kamoze's stuff from the 'Statement' album.

Re: hard albums
Afrikan History has some great rhythms but the mixing (done by Maxie & Soljie) is sometimes a bit too much. It is still a dub album worth to have but it could have been much better with a bit more sublime or down to basic mixing.
I unfortunately haven't heard any of the others.

Lillian Allen is dub poetry backed with that early 80's live reggae band sound.

Re: hard albums
if the players are the same on condition critical LP better avoid it even if you're a massive dub poetry fan like mejordandance wrote:Lillian Allen is dub poetry backed with that early 80's live reggae band sound.

No, this album is a much better listening effort IMO.imet wrote:jordandance wrote :Lillian Allen is dub poetry backed with that early 80's live reggae band sound.
