| is this any good, yes. would it be any good without damon albarns name on it? yes but surely wouldn't make the light of day on western charts. its a great opeara score and the good thing is even without having seen the show, its easy to imagine how track names complement the music.. worth buying, still undecided. |

| Listen to anything remotely resembling pop music these days and you will always find a trace of the formulaic about it. If nothing else, the 21st century has refined pop music into something of a formulaic commodity. Mind you, there are some would argue Mickey Most was doing the same thing back in 1973...
Santogold's debut does contain some ambitions to meet some kind of blueprint. Upon first hearing I found it utterly generic - a record in search of a hit, if you like. The sound is clean and somewhat ... Read More: |

| I have such fond memories of this album. I don't actually own the cd, but I was given a copy of it on cassette a few years ago- which I wore out in about a month. I was heavily into punk (real punk i.e. Sex Pistols, Clash) at the time and had read about the link between punk and reggae in the 1970s. Like most people, hearing Bob Marley was my first real experience of reggae and it began a love affair that continues to this day. Hearing this wonderful, utterly timeless music was a revelation to my 14-year-old self. Marley was equally ... Read More: |

| Anyone expecting to find the future of roots reggae or dub on Natty's debut album will find little to please them. A friend of the Adele and Kate Nash set he offers instead engagingly breezy, reggae-fied feel-good vibes that go down well with a cold glass of cider and a barbequed sausage and only occasionally lean on Rasta-man cliches. The 24-year-old North Londoner is being pitched as our answer to Jack Johnson and on occasion he's as chilled out - but his fusion of social commentary and pop is closer to 80s UK ska acts like The Beat than ...

| Dancehall and ragga have never been my music choices at home. Yet, with 'London Zoo', I found myself strangely drawn to the extreme melting pressure of The Bug's sounds. This is a deeply futuristic album drawing on Caribbean heritage - and, as such, featuring some fierce MC-ing.
The lyrical content is intelligent, intelligible and interesting. The bass-lines are deeply sonic and the drums pound proudly across your ears. These elements mean that 'London Zoo' is my tip for album of 2008. I don't work for Ninja Tune, but ... Read More: |

| This is my favourite of the 2 Specials albums. 'More Specials' is quirkier, but this is equally fun and more up-tempo. I love to leap around to this record at every oportunity, (much to the annoyance of my neighbours). I could wiffle on about all of the profound lyrics and such and Terry Hall's deadpan style, but once you buy this record then you will find out for yourself. Suffice to say that this record is well worth getting for your collection. If you like that 2 tone sound, then it really doesn't get any better than this. And at this price it is a steal!!!! |

| I'm not one for writing reviews but seeing as no-one has bothered to write a review for this Toots & The Maytals CD, I thought I may as well be the first.
If your knowledge of reggae goes as far as Bob Marley, and that's it, then you seriously need to broaden your tastes, and as a starter I highly recommend Toots. This CD covers The Maytals career from 1966 to 1974 and all the hits are here - Monkey Man (later covered by The Specials), their brilliant debut single Bam Bam, 54-46 That's My Number and probably their most famous song Pressure Drop ...
