Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced during a fertile period of collaboration with vocalist Hugh Mundell, this instrumental set highlights the Jamaican maestro's signature, deeply spiritual melodica playing. The album floats atop heavy, militant riddims laid down by the Roots Radics, perfectly bridging the gap between traditional roots reggae and dense, atmospheric dub. It remains a crucial, meditative artifact of Rastafarian studio innovation.
