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

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.

Arrgh. Reggae. If I ran a radio station, it would be exaclty like RP, but we would ban reggae, that's how much I hate it.


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.

Isn't Dub music usually a re-interpretaion of another work? way to go detective...

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

Wish that I could like reggae more, but it's always the same bass lines, same chord progressions, and same drum fills.

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.

did the gorrillaz sample this song or is it just me?


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