The 10 Track Mixtape Thread (Song Lists Without Links Will Be Deleted)

[jackhammer]

As promised for Demonoid. A bit of Ska, Reggae and Dub.

1. The Japonicas- Toy Town Blues
Some of the best Trad. Ska I have heard in a while. An awesome toe tapper.
2. Ras Ibuna - Diverse Doctrine.
A fantastic Roots Reggae classic. I still need the album.
3. Black Uhuru - Chill Out
Backed by the finest Reggae Rhythm duo (Sly & Robbie), BU had the dulcet tones of Michael Rose adding a sweet soul sound.
4. Dillinger - Dub Them Rasta
'Ready Nattie Dread' is another overlooked Reggae album that needs new fans.
5. The Specials - Do Nothing.
Not only a damn fine Ska band. They are a damn fine ban full stop. One of Englands finest bands. Their highly charged lyrics are just as relevant nearly 30 years on.
6. Linton Kwesi Johnson - Inglan Is A Bitch.
A poet and a musician. Lyrically superb. Essential Dub.
7. The Toasters - 2-Tone Army
I think they hold the record for longest surviving Ska band. They kick started the 3rd wave way back in '81 and are still whacking out cracking tunes.
8. Dreadzone - Ali Baba
Mixing soundsystem electronica and Reggae. Dreadzone are still a festival favourite and I'm off to see them in a couple of weeks.
9. Ska Cubano- Soy Campesino
Fusing traditional Cuban music and Ska provides infectious beats.
10. The Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - Natty Parade
Excellent modern take on Ska. Underated and far too obscure for their own good.

Thanks for that . I've got the Specials track, but the rest are definitely new to me. I'll give it a listen soon.

I don't care, it was one of the first Radiohead songs I heard, and I like it It touches me for some reason.
