COLUMN: "MYSTERIOUS" MONUMENTS

You might know, that I am fascinated by ancient history, especially the suppressed parts and the many so-called mysteries one can find all over the planet. And, so it seems, even beyond that.

GIVE THANKS (3 TRACK DUB 'N' DISCOMIX EP)

Giving thanks can be done in many different ways. In this case, three. Three different mixes of the same steppers riddim, from some heavy Dubbing to full vocal parts.

The music is down-tempo, but because there's so much happening in the rhythm the feel is actually very lively.

There is singing as well as toasting. The lyrics are all about worshipping JAH and proclaiming His Authority over all there is.

YOUR FAVORITE GOSPELS (4 TRACK DUB 'N' DISCOMIX EP)

Although the theme and lyrics of this Four Track EP are rather serious, as the titles suggest there is a healthy dose of humor too. You could say, here we have an example of Serious Spiritual Satire.

The music is up-tempo (186 BPM!), yet contains the relaxed atmosphere that typifies the Reggae Rhythm even in realms that reach the sound barriers. A riddim clearly inspired by early 1980's Black Uhuru material: especially a track called "Darkness" come to mind.
