#671 Augustus Pablo - King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown
Normally I can't get into reggae at all, just finding it too listless, to repetitive, too narrowly composed to be all that interesting. This manages to make the core instrumental dub sound fresh though, Pablo's melodica infusing it with sunny energy, dusting in just enough changes over time to keep the proceedings from waxing soporific. Shortish song lengths help too, keeping the pacing lively. Surprisingly enjoyable 3.5/5
