It's still alive but not on the same scale it was when in the 70's Bob Marley era.
That was the ultimate reggae era Trojan. |

Anyone here heard Serge Gainsbourg's two reggae albums? A 52-year old Frenchman doing a reggae album sounds hideous, but for the first one, Aux Armes Et Caetera he went to Jamaica and hired Sly & Robbie and The I-Threes and made a surprisingly good album.

my love of reggae started 1975- 76 working at butlins Barry Island and some great nights in the Padget and fryers arms.
Sadly.. I use to listen to john Peel just for the two reggae Tracks he played hated all the rest. One of the best sessions was steel Pulse Handsworth revolution with out all the synth over dubs on the record was brilliant. I still love playing the raw session from that program which i have on cassette tape which i transferd to CD, David Hinds a great singer .sadly my interest died what with the arrival of lovers rock, IT ended around 1981- 82 with the electronic keyboards playing bass and drums and Reggae sounding like it had been record in Chavs bedroom . Sorry i like the real bass and real drummers. my favorites 1. Train To Rhodesia. Big Youth 2. Norman. Max romeo 3 Hit the road Jack. Big Youth 4. Mini Bus driver. Junior Reid 5 Plastic smile. Black Uhuru Dub Scientist rids the world of evil curses and vampires album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_3F9yKas6w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA7rQXpIpIw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXG4MCEP7c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU3FeSwvdoY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTf0rPhEmP4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F4qzG5i34E&feature=fvst |

Dunno in a reggae thred, but basically my love for reggae is part and parcel of my love for ragga and raggacore and jungle like 94 style, and I think this is a lovely little mix with some beenieman in it here mixed by DJ Subsdance who is an absolute ruler of ragga and jungle, she's the SW's best kept secret.
