Review: Featuring Mervin's unmistakable falsetto delivers an anti-war message over a lush dub-infused backdrop, radiating hope and defiance. The track's atmospheric depth, blending melodic elements with rhythmic precision, is pure brilliance. On Side-2, the Upsetters' version reimagines the song, allowing Perry's dub wizardry to shine. Stripping back vocals and emphasising the instrumental layers, the dub version highlights hypnotic basslines, echo-laden effects, and a more prominent groove. The interplay between restraint and innovation transforms the track into a meditative dub experience. Junior Mervin's Cross Over 7" is a roots gem steeped in the signature magic of Lee "Scratch" Perry. With a message as powerful as its production, you've got the true recipe for a classic.
Review: Seafront International is "honoured" to unveil a poignant tribute to the late, great Sandeeno, who left us far too soon. In that regard, and with the legacy he leaves, he joins the ranks of many other reggae legends. This long-awaited release originates from a recording session a decade ago at Backyard Studio UK, and since then it has lay patiently awaiting completion. Renowned Belgian producer Martin De Ronne, also known as Unlisted Fanatic, has impeccably handled production and mixing duties. He levels up the track with the soulful embellishments of Moonshine Horns and guitar accents courtesy of Kingston Echo.
Review: Seafront International returns with some classic roots sounds from U Brown with a dub from Jah Warrior. Recorded at Conscious Sounds studio in London 2001, the sounds are stripped down to raw bass and drum dynamics by producer Jah Warrior who was clearly intent on allowing his work to be a personal platform for U Brown to offer up his own lyrical expressions and his musical messages. It's a track delivered with energy and serious focus and will sound best nice and loud.
