Thanks, that one I had, but no dates...

According to
http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~ubud/Echomania.html
it's 1989

Scientist and the Force of Music "International Heroes Dub" released 1989 confirmed. Tamoki Wambesi TWLP 1022, recorded and mixed 1983/1984 for Roy Cousins at Channel One Studio.

is it a good album though?

i used to have the cd and i thought it was crap, it was when i was first getting into reggae but i really didn;t rate it at all, sounded a bit like one of those rhino lee perry releases! might have had one good tune on it!

Hmmm...I find that hard to believe with the lineup listed.
Mixing Engineer : Scientist
Producer : Roy Cousins
Backing Band : Force Of Music

BTWay did anyone follow joe's link???

Check the versions, pretty good stuff in my opinion.

Actually it's worth getting, especially as it doesn't fetch silly money. I have it and was pretty pleased with it from first listen on.

But then there isn't much I've heard that Roy Cousins has had his hand on that I didn't like.

i could be mixed up with the album title here because the cover roots archives shows here for the album is not the one i remember having, the one i had, has a picture of a guy holding a flag, and was deffinatley forces of music in the title somewhere, i'll keep looking for the one i refer to and perhaps it is a diff. album.
