Get some Dub Incorporation down you and if you like commercial stuff try the German band Seeed (yes it is three 'E's).

As soon I've finished converting all my CDs to MP3 (and believe me, it's gonna take a while) I'll give them a go, along with your other recommendations. Thanks again man :beer:

Tell me about it. I have about 130 gigs on my HD and still need to convert approx 700 C.D's. BTW what ripping program do you use? WMP is crap for ripping and I hate I tunes...

iTunes unfortunately. It' slows down my computer whenever I use it (though that's probably one of those Vista quirks we all know and love), miles better than the tackiness that is WMP though.

I adore Matisyahu, his voice is so versatile, and powerful, and despite his openly religious views, does not come across as preachy (mostly) or condescending. More importantly, his live album is one of the few live albums I chose to buy. It is phenomenal.

One of my favourite reggae performers (alongside Damian Marley and Chubb Rock.)

I've been listening to him all day...just simply amazing.

He seems like a great artist but I've only heard him beat box and the song King Without a Crown. He's cool though.

sooo, did anyone get the new album Light? Its quite excellent.

I heard a lot of his new stuff when I saw him back in June (I'm actually wearing the shirt I purchased at the show right now) and I liked it. I've been meaning to check out when the release date is, thanks for reminding me that it's out.

I've been so out of the loop when it comes tothis guy. It's been a good 3 years since I've had a good hard listen to anything he's done. I think Live at Stubby's was the album that captivated me back then. Time to revisit him for sure.

If you want his newest album I found an up.

Nice. my PM box is always open.

Could I get in on this too? I've got a similar (though much older) album you might dig that I can get you in return as well.

I hate to also ask, but I am curious to hear it.

Don't ever feel bad for asking for some of my music, sharing it is no problem as far as I'm concerned, sharing good music is one of the best feelings you can get in life, next to sex and drugs.

I didn't hear about this...I'd like it also....what's the name of the album?

I started to relisten to Matisyahu the other day. I still am very impressed. I plan on spending the rest of the night hunting down the new album on the interwebs. And then writing a jumbled mess of thoughts down about it, that will be too jumbled like all my thoughts to ever post.
