Roots Archives Forum

I have also been listening to some tracks from the Twinkle Brothers, Can anyone recommend any albums. I`ve heard Countryman and Burden Bearer are good albums to start with ? also what are their dub albums like ?

In my opinion "Love" and "Countrymen" are by far their best albums.

I haven´t heard all of their dub albums, but "Dub massacre vol. 2" is a good one. I am sure that the dubs are great, since the rhytms are tough.

Personally I feel that the FIRST record to get is Countrymen. It's one of the heaviest and greatest roots albums ever released. Crucial!

Secondly I'd recommend Burden Bearer as you said or Underground and Enter Zion which is also a great albums.

If you like the little earlier roots stuff the album Rasta Pon Top is also crucial.

When it comes to the dub albums then check out what albums of the twinks you like and then get the ones corresponding the best with them. You can check out what albums the dub-albums take from on my site;

what about "me no you you no me"?

Yes - I,

"Me No You & You No Me" is a great album..full of nice tracks!

ez.

Its easy Clare, all the albums of them archiveds in roots archives are the good ones... I dont speak about the dub ones and the compilations, for the compilation "all the hits" and "praise jah" are good ones with some rare versions and singles... Believe me, all this albums archiveds are GREAT albums, then i suggest you to start with the first and follow their evolution...
Have good vibes.

Lately, i been listening to :

- "Burden Bearer" - it is a crucial album

another crucial one is the "enter zion" album- for me it contains one of my favorites songs "your oil runs out".
