Another great one from '78. Another great release from the Abyssinians. Their music is very spiritual. It just makes you feel good. Good melodies and deep lyrics. If you liked Satta Massagana then you will not be disappointed with this one.

Of all the albums we bought in the 70s this is one of my favorites! When I get in the mood for reggae I usually start here with 'Let my days be long' (or 'Revolution' on Marley's 'Natty Dread'). It is 'religious', as others have mentioned, but that shouldn't be a problem if you appreciate different styles(?) of reggae. Did I forget to mention 'Super Ape' or Augustus Pablo? Man.

This review is from: Arise (Reis) (Audio CD)

This album has some great sound and some excellent beats, the Abssinians definitely add to the tradition of quality reggae music. My complaints were that their focus was highly religious, rather than reggae's usually more socially conscious themes. Their sound is also slightly more polished or synthetic than many, in my opinion. A decent album, but not the best.
