专辑介绍

by Jo-Ann Greene

As dread as its title suggests, and featuring the sadly neglected Skin, Flesh & Bones band, Dreadlocks Dread skanks from punchy, rhythm-heavy reggae to the deepest, dubbiest roots. This is indeed Big Youth at his dreadest and, if there's any doubt, check out the song titles -- &House of Dreadlocks,& &Dread Organ,& &Some Like It Dread,& and so on. That last song is, as the title suggests, a version of Dennis Brown's &Some Like It Hot,& where the DJ's toast is intertwined with a bluesy harmonica. There's also a fiery version of Burning Spear's &Marcus Garvey& that adds even more power to the original. On &Lightning Flash,& Big Youth has another go at Yabby You's &Conquering Lion&; it's even more potent than his first attempt, &Yabby Youth.& The DJ even rejigs the slacker favorite &Soldering& into the more appropriate &Natty Dread She Want,& but loses none of the song's original rude connotations. Almost half of the album comprises instrumental dubs, showcasing Skin, Flesh & Bones at their seething best, while producer Tony Robinson and engineer Errol Thompson turn up the bass and fiddle with the knobs. There's a spellbinding version of the aforementioned &Some Like It Hot,& retitled &Black Man Message,& a thoroughly charming take on the John Holt classic &Keep on Moving,& and a scintillating dub of the Techniques' rocksteady masterpiece &You Don't Care.& Not your typical DJ album by any means, the music equals the toasts and vice versa and, regardless of whether you're a dub fan or a Big Youth supporter, the entire album will leave you sated.
