TROJAN SOUND SYSTEM VOLUME 1

Trojan Sound Sytem is a journey through the history of reggae, picking out the best and most universally understood elements of the music, the genre's constant relevance and reality, combined with sweet singing and wonderful songs. The album has been given a sound system flavour in order to give the listener an impression of how the music was originally heard and the culture it came from. Sound effects and Sound System MC's performing add something entirely authentic and unique within the world of compilations. The artists on the compilation: The Heptones, Johnny Clarke, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, Johnny Osbourne, Ritchie Spice represent the greatest talent to come from Jamaica and the songs chosen for the compilation represent their best work. Groundbreaking tracks like Bob Marley's "Soul Rebel", Dennis Brown's "Revolution" And Harry J's "Liquidator" pepper the tracklist, together with equally good but lesser known tracks from the reggae world. The Trojan MC's contributions add to mix and the whole is surely one of the best and truest representations of reggae ever made.

02. Liquidator - Harry J & The All Stars

NEIGHBORS AT 14

Neighbors also known as The Angono Boys, a local ska band from Angono, Rizal is celebrating it's 14th year anniversary this month. many things have changed since it's formation but the band is still staying true and planted to their roots, their hometown of Angono. They may have toned down a bit image wise, leaning on the more casual look and phase but the heart and passion is still the same. We will give you 2 tunes recorded by the band for a local cable tv station here in the Philippines. The recordings are used as the station I.D. for Jack T.V.
Basically, the tunes are adaptations of songs from a 3rd wave ska band from the U.S.
I forgot the name and the original titles of the songs though. This was also the very last recording the band made before disbanding in April of 2007.
