As the 'official' comments seem to have been delayed 
- thought Id chip in with some hastily compiled thoughts on the mix...
Starts off nice and chilled - what's the name of the riddim that the Yellowman is on again? And Im suprised at no 'Boops' - Im always mixin that with the King Kong.
Never heard the Bailey and Demus piece before. Its great..
Kind of a 'greatest hits' thing going on here...
Thats a weird coincidence. Ive just recently finished a mix with a bunch of tunes from this riddim on it. Its called (as Im sure you know) 'bye bye love'/'Chinatown' . Theres a super cheesy Dean Fraser instrumental on it called 'Dean in chinatown', plus some good Shabba and Frankie Paul. All the cuts I have are from Jammys/88 - is that Frisco Kid from the same year? If so that must be one of his first releases...
Yowch! Thats a killer riddim. Theres some great tunes on it... all the 'man' tunes: 'Fat Belly man'/'Slim belly man'/'This old man' - plus a load of hi-tech cuts like 'computer in dub'/'synthesiser voice'/'Computer Seh So'... Id kill for a full selection of this on 7..
Im lovin this. Great riddim. (its called 'Yush' as well innit?) Got a few tunes on this scattered around various compilations... Tune called 'Mandela come' by Papa san is the only one I can think of at the mo. Cutty Ranks is outstanding on 'dominate'.
Whilst I like some of the tunes here - Im not entirely convinced how well they work with the rest of the set... and Im certainly not convinced about the wild claims currently being bandied about that LFO Demon track . Im far from being a purist - cross genre mixing with reggae/ragga is all good afaic - but I think maybe my opinion has been coloured a bit by my own experiences with mixing ragga/breakcore/drill+bass...
How did the 'on the wire' heads react to this deviation from the gospel of reggae purity?
