Ire Works

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: The Dillinger Escape Plan

November 05, 2007
This Album IS amazing. Changing pace but never loosing atmosphere. Jolting through genres but never loosing integrity. It is simply blinding. Dillinger are currently the most interesting and original band around. The songs convert to the live stage even better than I could have hoped. Actually becoming alive.
As with all classic music, Ire Works will never grow old. The general public will figure it out in time.


It pisses all over Miss Machine, which was largely overated.

Tighten Up Volume 1

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Various Artists

August 11, 2008
De lux version... Lots of extras and a nicely set out box. This is worth having but it's also worth remembering Tighten Up was Trojan's "cheap" range and that sort of shines through with the track list. It shouldn't be your first Trojan choice if you are an experienced Reggae-ist but good to play to your mum.

We love this album. Feel it is better than Big Love. Great variety. And some great artists that get forgotten along the way. There is something for everyone on this album. I love it all.

as well as being one of the very best dub albums ever, the title track of this album is probably the greatest dub track ever.

Breathing Under Water

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Anoushka Shankar

September 10, 2007
If you are a fan of all things asian, esspecially fusion and electronica, then this cd was made for you. Karsh Kale is a star and trancends the boundaries of style and aproach on this CD. Anoushka is a fabulous sitarist (learning from her famous father Mr. Ravi Shankar) and sows her skills throughout this album. The compositions are on another level as they flow seemlessly from Indian classical to rock and electronica. Sting is amazing as well. There are so man great guests on this album including Salim Merchant, the Midival Punditz and Anoushkas sister Norah Jones, even Ravi makes an appearancel. Both Shankar and Kale shine bright throughout this journey as they take us into the next paradigm of music.

Balkan Beat Box

Like another reviewer I also came to this CD via Radio 3 2007 World Music Awards. Balkan Beat Box is a very exciting fusion of Balkan/Gypsy/HipHop/Midele Eastern styles and it is impossible to listen to without moving your feet. What more do you need to know? Enjoy! Their other CD Nu Med is also great; possibly even better. Get them both.

Brand New Second Hand

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Roots Manuva

March 22, 1999
This is definitely one of the most original albums produced in the history of UK urban music and for this reason I don't think it received the wider exposure it deserved. It's an comforting deep bassy sound, which is almost unique in my experience, one which completely mesmerized me 8 years ago, and still does today. I don't think he ever really improved on this personally, though others may feel the album is a bit disjointed. I have to say the second track 'dem phonies' does my head in and is probably worth 1 star at best, but the rest is fantastic, especially 'Inna', 'Strange Behaviour', 'Motion 5000' and 'Oh yeah'. It's getting on a bit now, but classics never really age and this certainly hasn't. It will always be one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite ... Read More:
