Hi morris, this album is really excellent. But it is totally instrumental, there are no voices. For me their best album is the first one "aswad", their live performance on "live and direct" is also a classical album, with the famous and nearly philosophical sentence ...

Aswad "aswad", the best too for me, the rest is deceiving to my tastes, apart "showcase" (pretty same songs that "aswad") and "hulet (not bad)...

don't forget "New Chapter of Dub"

also the following 12" singles are a must have:

warrior charge/dub charge (grove/island)
rainbow culture/covenant dub (grove/island)
it's not our wish/stranger (grove)
pass the cup/pass the dub/love fire dub (cbs)
unsatisfied/oh jah dub (10" white label)
finger gun style/dub style (cbs)
ways of the lord/lords of the dub (cbs)

and not forgetting there collabrations, with artists such as Dennis Brown, Michael Prophet, Johnny Osbourne, Michael Palmer etc, all released on there own Simba Label.
