I, on the other hand, am willing to allow them to keep exporting Reggae if they promise to stop exporting Red Stripe... |

You know, I think you're right. At first, I didn't even recognize it due to the absence of vocals, different melody, different rhythym, new instruments, changed tempo, decreased Brucosity, and enhanced Augusticity. |

I'm with you mahn. Do like their jerked pork with a cold Red Stripe though. I like blues more than just about anything which is basically the same riff repeated forever too but for some reason a reggae rhythm just grates. |

This track is from the early 70s, way before Gorillaz. |

Why does every reggae artist with the exception of bob marley, jimmy clif, and toots come from that putumayo cd. You know there are alot better ones!!! I guess I'll just have to upload some and piss off all the reggae haters.

Great call. I had never heard this particular track before. Not every Augustus Pablo tune is great, but his best stuff has a cool, transporting vibe that is unlike any other reggae artist. My favorite album is "East of the River Nile", highly recommend if you're into this type of melodica-dub groove.

Reggae Burlesque is an odd combo. Sounds like a Casio Demo.
