A special 12" for #12inchtuesday

This is Bunny Lie Lie (not Barry Brown) preaching conscious lyrics in 1980 over a tough Roots Radics rhythm that has been mixed to perfection by Scientist at King Tubby's studio...

Album cover artwork of Don, arms spread in welcome, standing under a blue sky on a Carribbean beach with a soundsystem on the sand behind him and the sea just behind that.
As Don says in the notes, "This comp is a journey thru these outer dub dimensions. Sure you'll find heavyweight riddims, but also whispers in the static, sirens in the distance, fragments of protest, pulses of hope. It's music built not just to dance to, but to think to... These versions are messages in a bottle from across the spectrum: personal, political and playful. But all live in the space between bass and silence. This isn't background music, it's soundtrack to cities, to movements, to moods. So whether you're lighting one up or turning down the lights - just press play and let it roll... "

Painting with a view through stylised angular trees and forest floor, with diamond shaped green tree canopies and bold vertical lines for tree trunks

Dutch avant-garde painter Jacoba van Heemskerck, Forest, 1913.
The pioneering Expressionist artist also worked in stained glass, perhaps reflected in her painting style #womensart

Jimmy Cliff - Reggae's global ambassador passed away | News | Reggae Vibes Jimmy Cliff - Reggae's global ambassador passed away on November 24 at age 81, after a seizure and pneumonia.

Jimmy Cliff’s passing feels heavy. His songs like 'Many Rivers to Cross' and his role in 'The Harder They Come' shaped how the world discovered Jamaican music. Six decades of heart, grit, and uplift. We lost a true cultural ambassador, but the music he gave us will keep guiding us. RIEP Jimmy.

Deeply saddened to hear that Jimmy Cliff has died at the age of 81.

A truly magnificent singer and performer. He started out as a teenager in the early 60s recording future classics like this...

Review | Dillinger - Dub To One | Reggae Vibes Dillinger - Dub To One | This release works as the dub companion to Dillinger’s deejay album Ten To One, produced by Niney the Observer.

#Review | Dillinger’s voice echoes in and out on this dub set, riding classic Niney cuts with the Soul Syndicate pushing tight, rootsy riddims. Scientist and Errol Thompson shape the sound with authority. You hear echoes of Undying Love, Stars, and Ten To One, all pulled together with real spirit.

#FolkloreSunday Ghosts are a close companion of the winter season. The days grow shorter, the nights longer & even though we no longer live by candlelight, the death of the year & the chill in the air reawaken the spectral realm with more solemnity than Halloween.
