Does anyone know what is the name of this riddim? Is it used in any other song?

There is another vocal cut by Linval Thompson called I Spy and another dub version by Scientist called Malicious Intent.

Check freddie mcgreogr big ship track 4

Track 4 Stop loving you is not the same version. Totally different tune to Eek A Mouse' Do you remember, which has a militant bass line and drum pattern. Track 4 is pure rub a dub.
Only ever hear two version of this cut - Eek A and the Linval.

Yes you right but i'm shure there was another vocal track in this riddim

This riddimbase is really good:

Edit: Not complete though, obviously, there's just too much.

Too bad there are only two songs with this riddim, it's amazing.
I discovered something though:

Notice anything funny about the basslines?

Can't watch the video here in f-ing germany. Same bassline?

Very very similar

Similar? Yes, although the bassline and offbeat drum section on the Eek A track is carved out of the shoreline of the African coast. If you listen to it closely you will remeber.
