Scholars Word - How Long
Yankee reggae bands usually fall into two camps. One set tries to perfectly
imitate Jamaican reggae and the other set takes reggae as a starting point and
then heaps on heavy doses of rock, funk, rap etc. Scholars Word leans toward
the traditional reggae camp, but also nicely puts their own stamp on things.
Sweet saxaphone introduces the title cut and then dubwise effects kick in
followed by conscious lyrics about saving the environment and ceasing war.
"Part of Me" is a nice insight on the power of how the wordsound power of
reggae can impress on people's lives and change them forever. This cd features
nine vocal tracks and the atmospheric "proton Dub". If you are fan of conscious
US bands like S.O.J.A. and Groundation, Scholars Word would fit nicely in your
collection.
