congo nattys’ album jungle revolution : one of the best albums of 2013 that fused old school reggae, jungle, ragga, rasta vibes and dubstep beats together, gets a full on, f*cked up dub remix version.

some of the names are familiar to me and clearly provide the big grin thrills (hello adrian sherwood ! hello mungos hi-fi ! hello ariwa ! ), but even the names i have never heard of are totally in charge of the game.

the result is one of the best old school dub albums i have heard in ages with a lot of modern styled sonic twists and turns.

throughout the album, there are a lot of political soundbites dropped into the sonic chaos, making this a fantastic throwback to when reggae was full of race rage, political power, and verbal empowerment, as opposed to the current love for booty shaking.

glorious in every way, and yet despite the intensity, the end result is massively enjoyable.
