NEW Channel One Studio's

[ranking trevor]

Hi RA Posse

I was reading a forum/article on another reggae site about 1 year ago saying a NEW channel One Studio's opening up soon......

However there was a big debate about it not being able to keep its original RAW SOUND - and all the great artists either DEAD or turned to HARD DRUGS

How many people know about this, or think a a new channel 1 studio will be unsucessful

Can any studio, Channel One or other, reproduce the raw sound that was generated throughout the 70`s and early 80`s.

It was music of the day played by musicians and artist with feeling bought about by the environment in which they lived and suffered.

Any attempt to recreate this sound today would just result in a poor imitation.

Todays music is different, it just does not compare with the classic analogue recordings of yesteryear.

Channel One, Studio One, Randy`s etc are immortal. Let them rest in peace and just appreciate the legacy that they left us.

Respect

Thats Exactly what i&i debated Rootsman

The RAW & Analogue sound generated back inner 80's an 70's cant be reproduced. - it was the GREAT sound of the times

Plus - i dont bleve the ciontent of todays artsists could match the old skool artists

ANYWAY, Most of My Favortie Toasters & Singers are either dead and gone or Turn Fi hard drugs

While I am sure many musicians have the technical ability to play instruments rather well , even in these electronic days - I have to agree with the general line of this thread - it's the VIBE that can't be recaptured.

The world is a completely different place. And I don't know, because I have never been to JA, but I suspect Trenchtown is very differnt too.

Once, oppressed people had a revolutionary spirit, which I feel was embodied by the reggae sound of the time. But today, people aren't so much into revolutionary things, but just want to get money (earn it, win it, steal it) so they can buy DVD, LCD, BMW etc etc.

so you don't think they had a taste for material things in those days too? everybody was after something, clothes, cars, drugs, furniture, anything of the materialistic stuff... just the same as now, but now we have different things dvd, lcd, bmw or whatever it is

[leggo rocker]

Slimmy. Of course man has ALWAYS had a taste for material things.

BUT I think commercialism is much more rampant today, and more people are more completely addicted to it.

Its my feeling that during the 60s and 70s a few people still cared also for justice, equal rights, and freedom from oppression. And that is exactly what was expressed in some of the best roots music of the day - even in non-reggae music.

But today, I find it hard to find this sentiment in people and often when I do, it turns out to be hollow, or just put on for fashion. And it seems REALLY rare among modern musicians.

It is wrong for me to generalise things like this, but I have to do so or else my post would turn into a 5,000 word article on the state of humanity today.

I am not sure how old you are, and if you lived through them times. But to me, the world HAS changed a lot since then, and not much for the better.

These are only my opinions and observations.

Maybe you have a theory or opinion you'd like to add as to why we can't seem to find reggae music like that produced in the 70s and early 80s anymore?
