Deep reggae like 'Heart of the Congos'....

[datura]

Just came across this on Youtube


Mundell and Pablo in the hills, the 2nd tune with Mundell singing to just Pablo accompanying him on the melodica is absolutely brilliant.

Wonderful.

 

[baboon2004]

Wow, that is heavy. Half dub, half spacerock (Cosmic Jokers spring to mind for some reason).

 

[bassbeyondreason]

I get a heavy Cloud Nine/Psychedelic Shack-era Temptations vibe too.

 

[franz]

onna wackies tip: Junior Delahaye's Travelling Man is definitely of Heart of the Congos ilk...

run come rally by dadawah is maybe even better.

does he/they always do yabby you tunes?

 

[luka]

dont know what the story is but about ten years ago me and a friend spent a whole night stoned and listening to yabby you and daddawahs versions back to back in a fruitless attempt to determined which was better....
a night well spent needless to say

i miss my friends in LA with whom i would do stuff like this.

I think I would have to go with Yabby You, no question ... a totally unique sound and vibe within the ocean of ultra deep JA music, and one of the few producers whom even Scratch stated some admiration for. No disrespect to Dadawah but e.g. 72 nations is lightweight stuff by comparison.

 

[luka]

whats 72 nations got to do with anything? im lost.

 

[crofton]

It's a tune by Dadawah, uses bits from a Yabby You piece (can't remember precisely which one...Conquering Lion??).

 

[crofton]

Two other super heavy, previously quite obscure tunes which have been repressed in recent years (not mentioned so far I think?)

Ras Ifton and the Zionites - Look Over Yonder (Wisdom Rock)
Earl Flute - The Betrayer (Mafia)

 

[luka]

yeah i know its posted upthread!
im still lost....
never mind

 

[crofton]

Just saying that imo, on the Yabby You compared with Dadawah question, I don't feel Dadawah really has it. That's all ...

 

[crofton]

Worth pointing people in the direction of this youtube channel:

loadsa "most wanted" deep roots tunes in there ... a few have been repressed, most not.

also, it's kind of an obvious pick, but right at this time i have to mention this tune here ... kingdom rise and kingdom fall ... say no more.

Christmas Special Offer at
roots from yard

!!!

 

[crofton]

Nice!

It would be appropriate to mention "Natty Dread Christmas" but I don't have it and can't find a clip of it. Same riddim as Heptones "We Want It" ...
