A burning classic from the man who is still going strong...

"I used to have a tape with this record on it and I gave it away maybe 10 years ago. Now I got myself the record again and I am suprised by the freshness of it.I know that not everyone is charmed by this one but in retrospective you can hear Burning Spear creating a rootssound with his hornsection (female and from America)and congo's but also with synthersizer and electronic drums. The drum and bass sound so strong now you hear it on cd. Of course you can't say that the man ever wrote a weak song and on this one are some very powerfull ones. Far beyond everything he wrote in the second half of the 80's is the title song witch is so dread using claps on the drum and beautifull horns. But also strong are No Worry Yourself, We are going (what is this train thing with Rasta's, there is not so much train in Jamaica...)and the Studio One remake Who's the Winner (This Race). Right now I can't get it from my cd player, it makes me smile all the time. Burning Spear sound is the best sound and this one is wicked!!!"
