Yes folks… another Roots Edition of Ackee & Saltfish, another heap of new releases to be reviewed… enjoy — some pretty good stuff’s coming your way!

LUCIANO — CALL ON JAH
Another new release by the Messenjah? Nah… not really, this one is a compilation of previously available material, mainly gathered from the Jetstar-release «Great Controversy» and some vinyl-singles. So if you don’t have these already, this one is recommended. But be aware, this CD is in for the loudness-race — blame the mastering-engineer!

FIONA & LLOYD BROWN — REALLY TOGETHER
Well, you know… as springtime finally has arrived and hormone-levels are higher than usual, this is the right album at the right time. Lovers, this one’s especially for you… ’cause nothing sweeter than love — well, maybe this album is.

VARIOUS ARTISTS — REGGAE GOODIES VOL. 1 & 2
Big up the folks who are doing all these Wackie’s re-releases! Here’s a fine one: stuff from the late 70’s, two volumes from the «Reggae Goodies»-series on one CD. That’s good value for money, I’d say!

LEROY SMART — MISTER SMART IN DUB
Here’s another fine label — Jamaican Recordings — who’s catering the Reggae-folks with some great recordings from back then. Plus, most of the stuff has previously been unreleased! Here’s some crucial dub-work courtesy of Mr. Bunny Lee — fine dubbed out tunes from singer Leroy Smart… highly recommended.

LEROY SIBBLES — STRICTLY ROOTS
This is #2 from our little series of absolutly crucial Leroy Sibbles-rereleases. Recorded in the very early 80’s, «Strictly Roots» is an album in showcase-style — means you get vocal versions plus dubs and you get it for the very first time on CD!!! A must-have album from one of the legends of Reggae, and you get it only online here: http://www.leroysibbles.com Don’t miss the next Roots Edition of Ackee & Saltfish, when we review one of the best Reggae-recordings made in the 80’s… the absolutly wonderful album «On Top»… wicked, I tell you.

ADRIAN XAVIER — R NATURE
This is the debut of a fresh talent out of Seattle, and we just love it! Some really good songwriting and singing here, the production-work is excellent and the CD comes in a beautiful digipack. Check out the very talented Adrian Xavier online here: http://www.sacredgroove.com/
