Black Solidarity (UK), Early 70s. Very Good+

Dug Out (UK), 1974. Used
Hypnotic, organic and spiritual music from Rastafarian singer and hand drummer Ras Michael – organic, echoey, atmosheric drums, bass and trippy bits of keyboards – a very spacious backdrop for the freedom seeking lyricism! It’s very unique stuff, grounded in the spiritual vibes

Wackie's (Germany), 1982. Used
Nice reissue of this early 80s reggae groover, cut by NY based producer Bullwackie Barnes. In the late 70s and early 80s Barnes offered an update on the classic Jamaican soul sound, that never deviated too far from the classic roots and lover's rock vibe, but had a sublime moody twist that made it

Wackie's (Germany), 1979. Used
Choice late 70s tracks from Horace Andy, captured by Bullwackie Barnes with some help behind the boards from Junior Delahaye and Prince Douglas. Andy's sweet vocals sound great alongside the heavy Wackies roots tracks, just like the excellent Dancehall Style set, issued by Wackies also, and cut at

Epic/Ice, 1983. Very Good+
An unlikely contender to the throne of king of electro, this early 80s effort from Eddie Grant helps to prop him up there quite nicely. Heavy synth driven grooves bubble along nicely with that crisp Linn Drum sound, and though this album benefited from some wider pop appeal, there's more than a
