Have the Skatalites ever had an inadequate recording? Whether you are an old fan or are just discovering ska and the Skatalites, Ska Voovee should be part of your collection. The horns are great and the images evoked by the selections are simply fabulous, especially the tribute to Japanese ska. Ska Voovee is a tightly drawn but humourous look at themselves and their music as it spans the decades from Fifties/Sixties to the present and goes global. Don't be without it.

Another stellar effort from the original kings of ska--the skatalites just keep getting better with age! Of all the Skatalites albums I've listened to(Foundation Ska, Ball of Fire, Stretching Out, and this one), this one is by far my favorite, for three reasons: 1) great horn solos, maybe the best I've heard on any of their albums, and a good balance between sax, trumpet, and trombone solos. 2) The songs on this album are never too repetitive--some songs on their other albums have a tendency to repeat the same chord over and over again ad nauseum, but you won't find that here. 3) The overall ensemble sound on this record is superb. Similar to Ball of Fire, but with better(less repetitive) songs and more and better solos.
