The CIRCLE OF CONFUSION feat WAYNE PAUL

Cat: ROC 051. Rel: 21 Sep 23

Soul Of A Lion (4:17)

Soul Of A Lion (dub mix) (4:21)

Review: The Circle of Confusion are a Swiss dub production duo, who, adding to their fast-growing repertoire of releases, now drop 'Soul Of A Lion', which features Wayne Paul, an English reggae singer who was mostly active in the 90s and 2000s. Though Paul disappeared from the scene towards the end of that period, he now returns with a defiant message of big-feline hope and reminiscence, sung against a modern reggae backing with a polished, 80s roots feel. "How you feeling right now... now that you're older and wiser?" he asks in the song. Alll the better now you're back, thanks for asking.

COUNTRYMAN / WEST FINGA / JEH

This Generation (limited 12" in die-cut sleeve)

Hornin' Sounds

Cat: HS 44. Rel: 14 Jun 23

Countryman - "This Generation" (part 1) (4:57)

West Finga - "Generation Dub" (4:58)

Countryman - "This Generation" (part 2) (2:21)

Jeh - "This Dub" (2:21)

Review: Four weighty units of dubwise reggae come courtesy of Countryman, West Finga and Jeh. The star-sider, 'This Generation' by Countryman, is a banging enough contribution to this latest EP for Hornin' to receive several versions. A foreboding ballad for a generation beset by economic problems - "this generation got nothing to lose... there's gonna be problems!" - the veteran singer and soundsystem operator is adept as ever in delivering a high-consciousness message. The B-side, meanwhile, features two dub versions of the same riddim by West Finga and JEH, two producers also part of the selfsame French Hornin' Sounds crew.

Original Gravity

Cat: OGR 883. Rel: 07 Jan 25

Junior Dell & The D Lites - "Cool Right Down" (3:13)

Woodfood Rd Allstars - "Cool Version" (3:15)

Review: A 45 that perfectly captures the laidback, island vibe of reggae music. Side-1 features Junior Dell & The D Lites' 'Cool Right Down', a catchy tune with an infectious island flavour. The unique vocal performance exudes a relaxed charm, paying homage to the chill personality of Jamaican life, while the smooth rhythm and warm melodies create an inviting atmosphere. Side-2 delivers the instrumental version, 'Cool (Version)', by Woodfood Rd Allstars. The track comes alive with dynamic instrumentation, allowing the rhythm section and melodic elements to shine. The absence of vocals puts a greater focus on the groove and the track's energy is elevated through its rich, vibrant instrumentation. Together, these two tracks offer a well-rounded experience of classic reggae, blending relaxed vibes with dynamic instrumental interplay.

Cat: OGR 854R. Rel: 15 Dec 23

Junior Dell & The D Lites - "Praise You" (4:41)

Woodfield Road Allstars - "Cool Cool Runnings" (3:19)

Review: This one was only reissued back in summer but such its is enduring appeal and superb impact once played through a beefy sound system, here it comes again. It is another top 7" version of Fatboy Slim's megahit 'Praise You', in authentic rocksteady style, performed by Jamaican vocal group Junior Dell & The D Lites, who've been active since the 1960s. "Mi haffi praise you", gleefully intones Dell, against an impressive interpretive backdrop of jubilant brass and cabareting bubbles. The B-side procures a more curious and laid-back instrumental, Woodfield Rd Allstars' 'Cool Cool Runnings'. Do not sleep.

WAILING SOULS / ROOTS RADICS BAND

Volcano Jamaica

Cat: JG 44. Rel: 29 Jan 25

Wailing Souls - "Firehouse Rock" (4:13)

Roots Radics Band - "Firehouse Rock" (version) (3:33)

Review: This one packs some serious heat from some of reggae's most influential names - first is The Wailing Souls, a legendary harmony group who could melt anyone's soul, and then there's the peerless studio band Roots Radics who very much laid down the temple for new dancehall reggae evolution in the 80s. This jam is taken from an album, Firehouse Rock, that was made with producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes and engineer Hopeton "Scientist" Brown. It's a buttery smooth vocal roller with earthy guitar licks and a fresh dub version on the flip. Crucial.

Lopez WALKER / MIGHTY TWO

Lost In A Dream (7")

Joe Gibbs/ Studio 16

Cat: JGM 7021. Rel: 17 Sep 24

Lopez Walker - "Lost In A Dream" (2:59)

Mighty Two - "Lost In A Dream" (Dreaming version) (3:00)

Review: Lopez Walker is best known for his roots classics 'Jah Jah New Garden' and 'Send Another Moses' which were recorded for Roy Francis' Phase One label in the late 70s. His talent caught the attention of Joe Gibbs, who then went on to produce this sorely overlooked bluesy dance tune. The track's forlorn vocals and a haunting flute melody capture the essence of heartbreak while on the flip side, Errol Thompson delivers a stellar dub mix. It is fleshy and warm and full of trickery and is a must-hear for fans of Joe Gibbs' iconic productions from that era. Though underappreciated, this should be a hidden gem no more.

Leroy WILLACY / BIG YOUTH

Negus Nagast

Cat: NN 001. Rel: 13 Oct 23

Leroy Willacy - "Far Beyond The Blue" (2:44)

Big Youth - "Things In Light" (3:01)

Review: Back in 1973 Big Youth started the Negusa Nagast label, translating as the king of kings in Ethiopian. The first single was a split 7" from Leroy Willacy, also known as Cookey Monster, and Big Youth himself. Nearly 50 years on, this treasured record is back in print and it sounds as magical as ever. Willacy's 'Far Beyond The Blue' is a powerful slice of roots reflecting on the mire of slavery which forms a backdrop to so much of reggae's emotional impact. On the flip Youth delivers a deejay cut which rolls slow and easy, the legendary singer freestyling over the lazy groove in his inimitable fashion.

Cat: OR 138. Rel: 03 Jan 24

Delroy Williams - "Hear Say" (3:11)

Revolutionaries - "Hear Say" (dub) (3:03)

Review: Any real reggae fans will be familiar with the work of Delroy Williams. He was very active throughout the 1970s, 1980s and on into the 90s and this month has a few reissues dropping. This one comes on Only Roots and features his loving and loving 'Hear Say' on the a-side. It's got a languid and loose low end and is pure sunshine music. On the flip is Revolutionaries with 'Hear Say' (dub) which dials back the vocal and adds plenty of studio effects.
