A decent 2-Tone CD,
By Shona (Clairton, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocksteady Party (Audio CD)
Laurel Aitken is known to be the "Godfather of Ska"; however he was also very active in the 2nd and 3rd waves of ska as a perennial live performance favorite. On this album, he decided to get together with Potato 5; a two-tone ska band in order to unite with the new kids coming up. Well, really the result is really a Potato 5 album with Laurel Aitken adding his vocals. I do not have access to the credits, but I kind of doubt that Laurel had too much to do with writing these songs.
This album is standard two-tone ska fare really. I personally feel that "Bluebeat Suit" is a very nice, laid back song; and the title track is also enjoyable. Overall, this album is better from start to finish than a whole lot of other ska records from that time period. But if you don't feel as if you are a true two-tone fan, you can easily pass this one up.

If you like reggae with drum machines, you probably still won't like this. I don't know what drum machine they are using but it sounds like an 80's casio keyboard through some whacky (not in a good way) effects. The sad thing is this album could have been pretty good if the OG skinhead laurel aitken had only hired a few extra musicians, our at least pulled together a decent sampler.
