Editorial Reviews

Reggae Sunsplash is Jamaica's annual premier reggae festival lasting over six days and sometimes upwards of 20 consecutive hours of bass driven sets. Filming The Reggae Movie during Reggae Sunsplash was a test of endurance and a labor of love. A multi-national production crew worked together, capturing on film the vibes and high energy exploding from the stage! South Beach introduction by Sandra Bernhard. Artists include: Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers, Shaggy and Rayvon, Steel Pulse, MaxiPriest, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder, Luciano, Inner Circle, Shinehead, Mystic Revealers, Burning Spear, Beres Hammond, Carlene Davis, Freddie McGregor, Chaka Demus and Pliers, Dennis Brown, Apache Indian, and Yami Bolo.

5.0 out of 5 stars You must add this to your archives!, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Reggae Movie (DVD)

This video is one of the better made and edited reggae video I have seen. It features some of the top singers and DJs like Wayne Wonder, Beres Hammond, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, Buju, Bearning Spear, Maxie Priest, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Garnett Silk. The performances are taken from several concerts held in Jamaica and and overseas. A majority of the video was shot at Sting "94 and JapanSplash 1994. DVD sound quality certainly adds a new dimension to this video. It would be nice to have a similar video made that highlights more of the individual performances of each singer and/or DJ (Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk, Luciano, Buju etc.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for Reggae Collectors, June 4, 2002

By 

William J. Morrison (long beach, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reggae Movie (DVD)

This video may be a little boring by today's standards (it's about 10 + yrs old), but the coverage of DENNIS BROWN, LUCIANO, SHAGGY, MAXI PRIEST, YAMI BOLO, AND GARNETT SILK are crucial 'must have' items for any true reggae music collector!

The production & editing are excellent (especially by REGGAE standards....as many reggae videos are poorly produced)

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this one, July 13, 2003

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Reggae Movie (DVD)

This would have to be the worst collection of flat sounding reggae clips i have ever seen. The audio is so flat and compressed that even if there was something interesting on it, it would not be enjoyable. Complete waste of money.
