Groundation interview (Nice Up)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:03:00 GMT

That’s what all music is. Everybody is listening to somebody and is influenced by these artists or these people’s voices and they find their own unique sound. [If] I really wanted to sound like , why would anybody want to see my live when they could go to the store and buy [Burning Spear’s] album? I think it’s a huge thing for a musician and their struggle in life to develop their own...

... its lack of challenge became more apparent when the next track on my MP3 player was the track The Burning Spear from their first EP in 1982. The build up of driving bass, churchbell-like percussion sounds, then an extended white noise scream from the synth. Now, that still feels “experimental” and can set my head shaking.

I, Claudius (I) : Reduce, Re-use (Roots) (The Driftwood Singers Present)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:55:00 GMT

Claudius Linton was a blind spot for me. Sometimes it seems like it’s all blind spots, really. I got a copy of this comp called Roots Master, and the man has clearly got the power. With a majestic name like Claudius Linton, it’s no surprise. Part Burning Spear, part Linton Kwesi Johnson, CL has got the soulful roots all wrapped up, the dub testifying, too. The band performs that expert...

Yes, running – but mostly as in ‘not running.’ Exhibit #1. “Black Disciples” by Burning Spear – From Dry & Heavy (Mango/Island, 1977) In the world of roots reggae, Winston ‘Burning Spear’ Rodney is a towering figure. He’s probably second only to Bob Marley in terms of influence and popularity. But in contrast to Marley’s clear, clean style (and I mean...

Album: Dan Bowskill, More Than Music (Inner Circle Universal) (ximblr.com)

“Reggae is my brain food,” claims young north Londoner Dan Bowskill, a claim borne out by his mature, thoughtful attitude. Formerly frontman of reggae band The Hiites, Bowskill brings to his roots-reggae songs a cool-ruler warmth reminiscent of Gregory Isaacs, as he surveys the social landscape around him and finds reasons for both gloom and optimism. The result is somewhat akin to Black Uhuru or Burning...

The result is somewhat akin to Black Uhuru or Burning Spear on tracks such as “Brain Food” and “Clear Water”. Bowskill views the spread of Babylon with trepidation in the single “Holy Land”, though his colleague Black Rein leavens the mood with an angry but level-headed rap advising, “stay conscious, and don't bother with no nonsense”.
