....strange to make a topic 'bout reggae here but well..... I was listening to old rocksteady and i'd like to talk of it. Reggae (and then dub) was the first musical style I dig seriously when I was younger..... do you like it ? (I won't talk about everything after 80's because it's not reggae anymore, it's crap) |

Yeah i love it!!! Ive been buying these Trojan box sets lately , exspensive but well worth it. And i kinda agree on what you said about "everything after 80's" |
||||||||

|
|
the trojan box set >> that's exactly what I was listenig to !! ;) |
||||||||
|

|
It wasn't that expensive for me : about 30 euros (200 frs) |
||||||||

It gets very expensive if you want to own the whole colection ! So far i have the "Dub" "Ska" "Producer Series" "D.J". and "Dancehall" box sets |

Have you checked the Souljazzrecords stuff ? very roots - - very good |
||||||||
|

|

why does the messages come out all fucked up??? (i haven't been here for about three weeks , what has happened?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've got a lot of box set !!!!!!!!!!!!! what's on the 'dub' one ? Tubby's & co ? |
||||||||
|

(the messages works fine on my screen, so wtf ?) |

No i haven't heard the souljazzrecords stuff. Actualy i have just started listening to reaggae seriously. Buying compilations like the boxsets is a good way to get into it. I started to really like it when i heard a Lee Perry special on the radio. Next day i went out and bought "the complete UK Upsetter singles colection volyme 1" hehe! (the sentenses gets dissplaced/chopped up in my messages, perhaps im the only one seing this???) |

(4 ze messages bug > it sometimes happens) Lee perry is a pioneer. I'm glad you like it too. He released loads of stuff. loads 'n' loads. and half of it is real good. Souljazz released recently some compilation 'studio one dj's' / 'studio one souls' with old rareties - you can purchase them blind, it rocks. If you want more about reggae music & dub, I'm your man ;) |

I love 2nd wave British ska from the early 80s, like the Specials. Yeah they're not dub or reggae but I love them nonetheless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2nd wave british ska is very punky, isn't it ? it influenced quite a lot of french rocks bands. (not necessary well-known ones) |
||||||||
|

|

yay! Sido still exists!! ...I was gonna email you, mate as I was wondering where you'd got to... I fucking love Dub...that was my intro to electronic music really; busted up old Scratch Perry & U-Roy tapes...I'm tempted to go for a couple of those boxsets mentioned... Best guide to Reggae I've found is BASS CULTURE by Lloyd Bradley...recommended if you wanna the whole story about the music & it's history/development... And Dub always makes me think of William Gibson & Neuromancer....his descriptions of it in that book are perfect... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it is pretty punky but there are definitely lots of reggae influences in it also. I don't know about the French bands though; no idea there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ska is like Reggaes older brother...it's a pretty fine-line between em sometimes... ps check out the Terry Hall/Tricky version of Ghost Town...pure class... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blood & fire has some excellent rereleases and compilations from the '70s; king tubby, lee perry, prince jammy, horace andy etc... this music shouldn't even be compared to the 80's dub & reggae... it's just awful to hear those horrible digital sounds taking the place of real drums & tape echoes & spring reverbs... |
||||||||

Terry Hall done a new version of Ghost Town? Cool, i love the original ep |

I won't talk about everything after 80's because it's not reggae anymore, it's crap) i disagree entirley ragga is so good - it's the basis of alot of hardcore and drum and bass - there are so many wicked production crews nowdays but on the re-issues tip i like pressure sounds - esp the 2 prince fari new chapter in dub records - coiuncidentally the owner of that label ;adrian sherwood (who worked with primal scream etc) did some great 80's dub records - also mark stewart took it to another level (he worked with tricky on his firsat album) + there is a great dub album of massivce attacks stuff by the mad proffesor - who also did some great 8o's dub - but check modern ragga it's having it right now... |

sorry for being absent, but 'I backl with the 'dub' topic because there is soooo much left to say.. - astrid gil : you're right, good things in ragga, but I was talkin of modern reggae with basics rythm and flat synth instead of brass. - meho : !!!!!!!!!! at least I'm not the only one to think african headcharge is ace ! african headcharge is something huge, you know ? |

I love reggae & dub... Lee Scratch... Joe Gibbs, Studio 1, Sly & Robbie... African Dub vol 3 is a good 70s Studio 1 dub album, sounds almost like the Orb in places. (but better!) Ska fans check out Prince Buster FABulous greatest hits |

Last day I was wondering what will come up in such a topic, and I'm happy to see quite a lot of you got very good references. |

just wanted to throw in my two cents not like i'm expecting any replies. i really dig reggae, now i think i understand the diff between reggae and ragga, i guess, bc and ad. i was really into ska about 7 years ago when it came through with the "3rd wave' but that only made me dive deeper into it like the more traditional bands ie skatalites, desmond dekker, maytals etc... and that in turn got me into reggae also helped by the fact that at the same time i also became a pothead! i'd love to get really deep into it as well but there is so much music out there now of all styles that i can't really go after one thing or another. add to that a limited income.... |
