Editorial Reviews

From the All Music Guide:
This is a combination rerelease of Pecker Power and Instant Rasta, two albums recorded by Japanese percussionist Pecker in conjunction with Jamaican musicians. It's an interesting effort, combining a certain Jamaican rawness with a sophisticated Japanese surface, and it certainly comes equipped with the reggae muscle to kick it along — Sly & Robbie on the one hand, and the Wailers band on the other, and both Channel One and Tuff Gong studios (if only they'd managed Federal as well, but that might have meant the Dragonaires as a backing band). I'm not sure exactly how much of Pecker's work is really being heard on this album, but that really isn't the point — the point is more that it's a good reggae and dub set. ROIR is the home of some killer reggae, and this album is no exception to Neil Cooper's rule. — Steven McDonald

Can't believe no one has reviewed this yet> I bought 21st Cen Dub back in like 1988 and still find that it is one of my favorites. Some really crazy stuff is on here and the bass is heavy all the way through. Anyone who loves Dub has to check this out!
