专辑介绍

by Andrew Hamilton

Probably the first and best fusion of reggae and soul music by a reggae group. Third World was looking to sell records worldwide and not just in Jamaica and England, and while the band's fusion of these genres may have infuriated the die-hard Rasta man, it helped the music reach a larger base. After the opening &One Cold Vibe,& a melodic reggae bouncer, a tepid &Cold Sweat& (not the James Brown tune) has floating rhythms that soften the harsh lyrics. Falsetto vocals propel &Cool Meditation,& which has a faster beat then most of these tracks, but it's the remake of the O'Jays' &Now That We Found Love& that established them as international stars. The title track &Journey to Addis& is an amalgamation of practically everything, and it works; though traditionalists will dismiss it and these other tracks, there's nothing superficial about this winning album that is now available on CD.
