for fans of the original music here dont be afraid these are not complete reworkings of these songs but a mer glimpse into what the future of recording has provided. Their is no bass playing of laswell or added members to the session, just laswells beautifle filtering echoeing and blipps ocassinally from time to time some more strong in others some almost unnoticable to those unfamiliar to the original. The songs sceem to go almost in order from oldest to newest or so as it sceems. Chapter 1 definetelly sceems to be older and deffinetelly has less of laswell's digital tough. The recording also are still verry original sounding verry raw but remastered as best as they can at turtle tone. In saying that i do prefer chapter 2 to 1 the songs are better flowed better technology more effects and more integrated style. And song 11 sounds ecatelly like laswell is playing bass. 14 on chapter 2 will also blow your mind. Their are also a lot more dub vocal bits, while chapter 2 is vurtually vocal less. i cant help it i enjoy what technology has brought us in the now, everything is so much clearer and digital effects and sound such as keyborads have become 100% more efficient and reliable. but i do always respect what the past has brought us but i dont live in the past i learn from it and strive foreward. dont be afraid of the future.

For a tiny island of three million people Jamaica has had a thoroughly disproportionate effect on the course of popular music around the world; dub, re-mixes, electronic effects and especially notable nowadays-rap music all began in Jamaica...
