at the beginning of september comes one of the albums i have always wanted to happen.
basically, when roots manuva released his previous album, slime and reason, there was a limited edition that featured dubbed up remixes by reggae lovin’ wrongtom.
now, due to my ineptitude i missed out and never got the limited edition meaning i have felt like a proper numpty ever since.
thankfully, the success of the remixes prompted all concerned to sort out a full album of such treats, and the outcome is duppy writer.
i haven’t heard it, so cant provide a full rundown, but from the free download on offer over @ the ninja tune site, it’s clear its going to be a keeper.
old school 70s reggae loops, roots vocals, and a fine appearance from riddla.
can life get any better ?
