cheers. thats what i was looking for, basically influences/links where i can see what grime has 'borrowed' or 'internalised'/hybridised from dancehall. any other recomendations would be fantastic.

there was a thread on this board a month or two ago about grime slang with lots of stuff about the danchelal influence in grime...

thought i'd drop this on y'all about trinidad from todays indie
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article309432.ece

my own thoughts are that you can trace the juncture between west indies and south america way back to the maroons - and loosig the english language could be thought of as an act of solidarity as much as anything

Ha, no. The offer is valid at every record store. The problem is finding me afterwards. Be sure to get the Blood And Fire reissue though, you need the remastered one for the full immersive psychedelic effect.

If you don't like Heart of the Congos, you need to check your pulse. Seriously.

yeah, but you don't rate yabby u, so your opinion doesn't count

there are plenty of excellent reggae tunes about, just as there always have been- off the top of my head fantah mojah's 'hungry' plus other versions were sounding ace at carnival (rhythm's a studio one re-rub, though)

Buy Heart Of The Congos, and if you don't love love love it, I will give you your money back.

by the way, I bought this, am listening to it now, and I love love love it indeed. it's sooo beautiful! the sound is just what I kinda always hoped to hear in reggae!
