In the Light

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by the legendary session group Soul Syndicate and mixed under the direction of Everton DaSilva, this is a defining document of late-1970s roots reggae. Horace Andy's distinctive, quavering falsetto floats over incredibly tight, militant drum and bass patterns, tackling both heavy Rastafarian spirituality and intense social critique. It remains one of the most consistently gripping and flawlessly executed full-length albums in his extensive catalog.
