Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Before this album, Ziggy, his brother, and his sisters seemed more like a rich lady's kids than heirs to the throne of Bob Marley, the emblematic Third World Sufferah. But with their fifth LP release, an ambitious effort set in an overstuffed 16-track CD, the Marleys ably assume the burden of their legacy. Ziggy and the Melody Makers-- Stephen, Cedella, and Sharon Marley and Erica Newell--globalize and modernize roots reggae with infusions of rock & roll, funk, rap, and electronic dance music, most notably in "Good Time," an irresistible invitation to lusty dance floor abandon that showcases Cedella, Sharon, and Erica's lush, highly personalized harmonies. In "What a Conquerer's Defeat," an otherwise negligible tune, Stephen steps to the plate with a take on his dad's "ole codger" voice and gives off hints of a superb stylist in the making. --Elena Oumano

5.0 out of 5 stars "Jahmekya", April 29, 2007
By H. C. R. Crall "Uncle Henry" (La Pine, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is without a doubt, one of the greatest recordings of all time.
After 15 years of listening to this album, it still sounds fresh and new.
Very joyful and groovy...

5.0 out of 5 stars So Good So Right, October 19, 2000
I bought this album about a week after it was released. I thought it was good then. I didn't know I would consider it one the best albums I had ever heard ten years later. That is all that needs to be said.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love It!, October 6, 1998
By A Customer
Ziggy Marley is Great to listen to and also to good dance to. If you know how to dance Raggae. Just go with the beat and move your body for "I Love Raggae". Our reservation is into raggae and we all love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ziggy Marley's Jahmeka
This compilation has some of his best music. The quality and sound recording was excellent and still is despite the age of the cd.
The cd quality still stands out.
Published 24 days ago by Amanda Yurel-Shortier

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
This is very much ahead of its time, the production is top notch, and it captures that 90's spirit of "innovation/originality" without sounding 90's pop. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Original and groovy
Sometimes disjointed and psychedelic like on the rapparhythmic Raw Riddim, at other times highly melodic and danceable like on the funky Kozmik, with its lovely chug-chug guitar,... Read more
