Obviously this is before we even get into Ska and Rocksteady. The backbone of the whole thing is nayabinghi, which in practical terms is a drum circle thing, growing out of slave culture and developing into Rastafarianism. By it’s nature it’s an out-of-the-way thing so there’s not a lot of records to play, but you’ve got people like Dadawah keeping the principle alive:

And then there’s dub.

And fucking hell… start with King Tubby and then listen to everything.

Fatso · 27 July 2018 21:23

@dinger in da house! I’m listening to mazzy starr.

Cobham-Saint · 27 July 2018 21:24

And you didn’t even post a vid.

You Jedi master, you

My mate has a massive vinyl collection and we used to spend many an all-nighter working our way through it.

Marcus Garvey was one of the tracks we’d play - but I can’t hear it without subliminally hearing the tschk, tschk, tschk, tschk, tschk noise that repeated for about 20 seconds caused by a lump of hot resin falling onto the vinyl. Lol.

That should be another thread actually…Imperfections you hear in songs - that aren’t there (caused by dope, taping or other recording imperfections).

King Tubby probably needs his own thread. He invented the whole idea of the remix (at least I reckon he did). A fucking genius.

This is the obvious starting point:

Get some righteous herb and get lost in this album, any Pablo is good.

Good British reggae

Good early stuff

dinger · 27 July 2018 21:30

That Count Ossie album is the absolute shit!

dinger · 27 July 2018 21:31

Cobham-Saint · 27 July 2018 21:31

Thanks for that Sun Araw track @dinger - marvellous

Good to hear something new that’s genuinely great - From my perspective obvs

Llwybr-Cyhoeddus · 27 July 2018 21:32

Likewise the Sun Araw album

KRG · 27 July 2018 22:52

@dinger I’m also best part of 10 pints down. I’m in no state to listen now, but I will.

You’re an absolute star!

KRG · 27 July 2018 22:54

Also massive thanks to @Llwybr-Cyhoeddus & @Intiniki I’ll defo give these a go as well.

You’re all beautiful people.

God bless Sotonians, every one.

Who started this reggae theme? - Mrs C_S is going to go mental with me digging out my old tunes and getting them off of vynil so I can put them through the system. Have a load of other genres to revisit. Forgot why I stopped listening to them. Good to be reminded.

dinger · 27 July 2018 23:02

Post more!

dinger · 27 July 2018 23:04

We haven’t even got to deejay culture…

Cobham-Saint · 27 July 2018 23:07

I will return shortly. Need to fire up the analogue turntable and amp. I’ll try not to be too long.

@dinger & @KRG you have made my weekend- Mrs C_S thinks otherwise

dinger · 27 July 2018 23:07

Anybody who cares about the reggae music noise should have a go on this brilliant book:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/705144.Bass_Culture

He doesn’t understand Dancehall or anything that came after, but that’s a very different type of music.

Bathsaint · 28 July 2018 07:45

Ha ha ha, none of the obscure shit that Dinger listens too will have a mention on wiki.
