February 2008 - The UK based Reggaenews
website has our attention for a long time
now. They intoduced us to some very
interesting artists and bands and with the
start of the Reggaenews Podcast we can only
give thanks and praise once more.
In just
eight titles, of which only one comes
without (excellent) DUB version, the first
episode of the Reggaenews Podcast takes us
back to studios in Jamaica, the USA and the
UK.
In
chronological order, that is...
And in a
no-nonsense style too!
The show
starts with a couple of older Jamaican
releases, of which especially the legendary
King Tubby DUB of Cornell Campbells
"Two-Face Rasta" stands out. After
a couple of US based releases, we go
straight to the UK and listen to some
10" releases by the independent SHEMESH
label which at the time the Podcast was
mixed were still unreleased.
This is the
kind of Podcast that has something for
everyone, and the fact that all titles come
from vinyl will also be pleasing in the ears
of certain ones who can still not get used
to the digital sound of the CD.
Get this
one while it's still around!
