What did you say? Not Bruce's? oh... sorry. I guess my meds are off-balance again 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. |

Augustus Pablo played the melodica, which is a little keyboard powered by blowing into a tube. Gorillaz incorporates melodica into their songs sometimes. |

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. |

That would be like saying the Beatles sound like Gomez. This track is from the early 70s, way before Gorillaz. |

Right on point, though the opening drum break made me think we were about to hear "Watching The Detectives." |

Yes, yes it does. |

Dinjaknow - all reggae is "set to the beat of the healthy human heart at rest." |

snowak Jul 29, 2005 - 14:56 | 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. |

That's the exact reason I started reading these comments... it's pretty similar if it isn't a sample, anyway... |
