Late night music - Burning Spear

I fancied some real deep-bass reggae But, unfortunately I can't get my sound system loud enough to feel the gut-vibrating-bass I have in mind (unless I set up a big PA in the house and then it'd blow out the windows). Think of being slapped on the belly to every bass note, with a jiggle of your loose bits. Imagine being physically punished by the bass line...

Burning Spear - but not the mix I want.

Really enjoyed this one; until he started singing, sorry!

Bloody great, although I see what you mean about the lack of a proper 'filling-loosening' bass.

I haven't heard any Burning Spear for years, and had forgotten all about them.

Another favourite reggae outfit of mine was Steel Pulse - I saw them live once at a RAR gig in Moss Side Manchester, where they did most of their 'Handsworth Revolution' album. They were superb.

Dave, that's the style - I guess people love it or hate it.

Nobbly, I remember Steel Pulse but never saw them live. Did see the very early Aswad though, before they started playing pap.
