A remarkable debut from a band whose desire was to infuse reggae with other influences, continuing a direction in Jamaican music that was perhaps best expressed by artists along the lines of Count Ossie and Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus. Standout moments include &Sette Messgana,& &Sun Won't Shine& and their loping cover of Burning Spear's &Slavery Days.& A real rarity in Jamaican music of the period was a serious lead guitarist, which made &Cat& Coore's lead guitar breaks all the more startling in context. A brilliant debut.
