That's The Way

Repress of this essential Brazilian-boogie album! Pure class throughout, with a dream team of incredible musicians and producers behind the scenes including Tim Maia, Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti. Absolute banger!

Rated by many to be the pinnacle in their catalogue, this third album from 1983 saw the reggae collective Singers & Players really hitting their stride. On microphone duties, Prince Far I and Bim Sherman are joined by Mikey Dread (fresh from his work with The Clash) and Ashanti Roy (The Congos) for a truly heavyweight line-up. Voicing killer rhythms laid down by members of the Dub Syndicate and Roots Radics, this is a landmark recording in the mutated UK version of dub. Contains the classic On-U tracks “Bedward The Flying Preacher” and “Snipers In The Streets”. Incredible stuff!

Sudi Wachspress AKA Space Ghost has been on an absolute tear lately, dropping the outstanding Dance Planet LP on Tartelet last year and following it up with Private Paradise on Pacific Rhythm earlier this year. Rewinding the clock a little, this time he takes up back to Dance Planet for a remix package. Five biggies of squeaky-clean, deep, bouncy, digi-dub goodness. Come on a wicked pink marbled vinyl!

This collection of ’70s rhythmic gospel rarities doesn’t feel like Gospel in the traditional sense. These working musicians were deeply entwined with the funky, soulful sounds of their time. The tracks are a subset of 1970s-era Gospel, not directly talking about Jesus or God, but instead tackling how we live with ourselves and each other. Compiled by Gospel guru Greg Belson, these are undeniably soulful, passionate, and urgent songs long forgotten on obscure 45s and rescued from attics and sheds across the American south. Incredible release!
