Reggae Roots Forum - From 60's to mid 80's

Je vous le mets en Anglais parce que j'ai une mega flemme de traduire en Francais ce matin



We at TABOU1 were elated and honored when Ranking Joe agreed to work his magic and record new tracks over riddims recorded with Sly & Robbie. The result of this collaboration is a stellar collection of 10 tracks mixed by Colin "Bulby" Yorke.

"AI" is a stern warning against the dangers of Artificial Intelligence's dystopian ubiquitousness with the defiant: "ChatGPT can't control we; AI, AI can't control I & I".

We liked "AI" so much that we asked Steven Stanley to produce his own mix of that song, which is added as a bonus track to the album

Other tracks such as "Babylon Destroy Creation" or "Too Much Bloodstain" are very much to-the-point social commentaries, while "Mama Africa" is an ode to the motherland over a beat reminiscent of Fela Kuti's sound and guesting guitarist SupaJo

Of note is also the cover of the Gladiators' super hit "Stick a Bush" in combination with Albert Griffiths Jr. from the Gladiators

A limited edition 7" vinyl of the "AI" single as well as a special edition containing dub and alternate mixes will be released exclusively on the www.tabou1.com store in October 2024 while the album will soon be available on all digital platforms

Très solid ,
gros mix de Bulby , Joe toujours aussi rankin à son âge....
Inna rub-a-dub-style tradition !

Belle sortie.
Sa disco est assez solide, jusqu'à son 'tribute to John Lennon '...
Ce disque en particulier est génial. https://www.discogs.com/release/3593317 ... -The-World
Sur des riddims bien lourd de BU et DEB

Me semble avoir entendu un special du monsieur au Cane d'ailleurs

Belle sortie, Guillaume !

Oui les riddims sont bad, mais ce que j'apprecie particulierement chez Ranking Joe, en plus de sa diction unique, c'est ses lyrics, bien ecrits et sur des sujets actuels. En plus il est tres demandeur de faire des promos, interviews, alors que pour U Roy, par exemple, c'etait la croix et la banniere. Il est vraiment sympa, c'est cool de bosser avec lui
