track listing <\/u><\/p>\n
every man for every man well, this has been a long time coming.<\/p>\n as every follower of the mighty on-u sound<\/u> records will know, the label has had its ups and downs over the years. prior to the current deal with warp\/bleep there were several times that adrian sherwood tried to relaunch the label with a couple of new releases, and then all would go quiet for a few years before things started to happen again.<\/p>\n it was during one of these relaunches that ghetto priest<\/strong> was able to release his debut solo album, vulture culture<\/span> in 2003 via on-u sound<\/u> records.<\/p>\n the album matched the mans vocals against a collection of current at the time adrian sherwood productions ranging from full on dancehall chaos, fury injected industrial noise dub, and old school reggae.<\/p>\n basically, to this day, vulture culture<\/span>, is one of my all time favourite on-u sound<\/u> releases.<\/p>\n so, when i heard that there was to be a new solo album by ghetto priest<\/strong> i was keen to hear the results.<\/p>\n once again the production is by adrian sherwood, however, the album is coming out on a new label, ramrock records<\/u> (recent releases having remixes by ashley beedle<\/strong> and wrongtom<\/strong> point to this label being one to watch)<\/p>\n and that’s not the only difference.<\/p>\n whereas the debut was a glorious mish mash of styles, and featured a lot of the production sonic excesses that on-u sound<\/u> is renowned for, this new album is a different beast altogether.<\/p>\n quite simply, this is a gorgeous reggae album, with smooth laidback vibes throughout.\u00c2\u00a0 no vocal cut ups, no deranged noise, no sonic chaos whatsoever. which for fans of the mans debut could come as a bit of a shock. however, once the shock wears off, and you accept the album on its own terms, then this is a really wonderful album.<\/p>\n the backing band featuring legends such as styles scott, skip mcdonald, crucial tony, horseman, and carlton ‘bubblers’ ogilvie match the sweet harmony rich vocals of ghetto priest<\/strong> perfectly across this mix of covers and originals.<\/p>\n unfortunately the vinyl edition of the album\u00c2\u00a0 was rather limited and already sold out, but the digital version is still up for grabs, and grab it i would for when you need to be soothed on that post excess sunday morning by some righteous spiritually enhancing sounds.<\/p>\n let’s just hope that we don’t have to wait another 14 years before the next ghetto priest<\/strong> album.<\/p>\n update 13\/10 : i have been informed that currently there are still a few vinyl copies available, relevant link added.<\/em><\/p>\n more detail<\/u> : bandcamp<\/a> : vinyl edition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" track listing every man for every man good lord i murder hate bright morning star black woman ghetto life prophecy satta sacred ground babylon well, this has been a long time coming. as every follower of the mighty on-u sound records will know, the label has had its ups and downs over the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2375"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2379,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375\/revisions\/2379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ireallylovemusic.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
