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...

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!

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, this album raises reggae to new heights. Wrong Right Wrong is a dreamy number that poses an interesting philosophical question in a most intriguing manner. Herbs And Spices features that guitar style again plus lashings of groovy echo and tinkerbells. Although Jahmekya does have the same sentimental thread running through and does sound much like their daddy Bob in some places, it is nevertheless highly original and rather groovy.

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.

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. Fuses reggae with lots of synth sounds, without sounding overly synthetic. My favorite Ziggy Marley album!

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.

I had this cd but it was stolen.I'll always remember how good all the songs were.I recomend this cd who doesn't like roots but likes dance reggae.

I bought the cassette about a hundred years ago, ok, maybe 10, and enjoyed it back when. I recently found it again in my big bin of cassettes and decided to share it with a young co-worker who loves all types of music (who also owns a cassette player...shock). Well, I've yet to let him borrow it because I can't stop playing it. It's outstanding. I want to dance, I want to sing and I really want to appreciate this album. What a surprise that it stands out to this day as an exceptional collection of great songs.
