They´re saving that title for the next release...
Of course they are, why didn't I think of that
The track "Pride" by Pablo, is beautiful, the stand out track so far
Having said I wasn't fussed on yet another version of Natural Mystic, its actually a really interesting mellow slow groove and I like it (one slice of humble pie please)
The three Jah Lloyd tracks are perfect (as you expect from LSP & Jah Lloyd combination)
The dubs are all great too.
Upsetters Shuffle is a bit out of place in terms of sound, I'm guessing that this is not a black ark recording, but rather something he produced elsewhere and just did this rather average remix at the Black ark. If it's ark it's very early ark. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the release but hey ho.
Likewise "Beat Down Comrade Man" is a bit out of place in terms of the overall sound of the release...
The Aletha and Donna track.... can't make up my mind on that, the second half of it with the dub is really nice, but the first half with the girls singing, I'm not that fussed on, they sound like they are just going through the motions, or possible they were so stonned they could hardly sing. Love the dub half of the track. In a way it reminds me of "bird in Hand" the way the second half of the track becomes an insane dub
I had to cut this release up into two parts and reorganize the tracks to suit my tastes, but this is pure Black Ark beauty
More of this please... we all know damn well that the various big record companies are sitting on LSP productions that have never been released and as a buyer I say gimmie, me want buy!
Great release by PS... possibly even my release of the year
