This review is from: Best of Pato Banton (Audio CD)
While I'm knocked out by Pato's new "Destination Paradise" set, I thought I'd catch up on some of his classic tracks. "Don't Sniff Coke" bounces joyfully & is hilarious as his voice goes high for his mother's voice. Sting's "Spirits in the Material World" is transformed into a new hybrid with the lovely chorus vocals lifting the beautiful arrangement. "Never Give In" is an anthem to determination with the title sung with a cast of thousands. "Roots, Rock, Reggae" is a signature song that has aged well after 20 years. "Bubbling Hot" with Ranking Roger propels itself into your consciousness with marimba spicing the track. Eddie Grant's "Baby Come Back" sounds like a retro blast. "Stay Positive" is a cheerful track to lose your blues. This Virgin collection covers 1988-1996. It is an incredibly strong set. Enjoy!
