Parables

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Tarrus Riley

November 06, 2006
This is what modern reggae is all about, bought my copy on the beach in Negril, and have treasured it ever since, great and varied album. You can't go anywhere in jamaica without hearing a bit of Tarrus, and thats for one good reason, he's brilliant.

This is the sound of the 21st century. This is the sound of globalisation (and proof that that needn't necessarily be a dirty word!) This is the sound you'll want to hear again and again and again. If you like your music safe and formulaic, steer clear of this. But if you want to hear something fresh, then this may be just what you're looking for...

Late Night Tales

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Fatboy Slim

October 15, 2007
Similar to previous review, I wasn't sure on first listen, a bit disappointed it wasn't a typical Fatboy house mix. But I gave it another chance and there are mainly cracking tunes on there which really grow on you.

I've now been playing this CD every other day for a few weeks and seem to enjoy it more each time.

I would recommend anyone to buy this - it will open you to some great tunes you've never heard before.

New Chapter Of Dub

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Aswad

October 27, 1989
If ever there was a dub album produced that offered a radical new vision to a dying genre, without a shadow of a doubt, this was it. Recorded over 25 years ago, A New Chapter in Dub more than stands the tests of time; sublime production and a remarkable collage of sounds highlight the true dexterity of Aswad's song-writing talents and arrangements.

In Dub Fire, A New Chapter kicks of with an imperious statement of intent, opening with a short snatch of electronic sounds, followed by an unforgetable horn riff and an instantly memorable and distinctive bass-line. The album then embarks on a remarkably evocative and varied selection of songs and soundscapes, each composition characterised by astonishing snatches of echo unexpectedly jumping ... Read More:

Dread Broadcasting Corporation - (Rebel Radio)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Various Artists

February 26, 2008
Though I have most of the music in my collection, it was worth the money to hear the old DBC jingles. Rebel radio provided a service to the community that should always be remembered. If you haven't got an extensive collection, this is a good place to start. If you have, buy it for the memories.

The Strong One

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Reggae
by: Etana

June 23, 2008
This album is so wonderful, I can't understand why she is not promoted on a wider basis!! Her style of reggae appeals to me, from lovers rock (smooth, slow jam reggae) to acoustic to gospel - I'm not into dancehall reggae, so Etana appeals to my taste. Her lyrics have true meaning and substance, unlike others I care not to mention. So what are you waiting for? Go get the album!!!!

...is what this album had us doing. We've only just discovered it and whacked in CD player and spent the rest of the night moon-walking to those chilled deep dubs and and other fab sounds. I'd even dare to say better than the original!
