Dans une atmosphère éthérée au bord du Lac, le chant murmuré s'estompe peu à peu, pour laisser place aux guitares rugissantes.

In an ethereal atmosphere on the shores of the lake, the whispered vocals fade little by little, giving way to the roaring guitars.

MURMURES SUR LE LAC     Patrick Picault

A tribute to the world's most underrated pioneers of modern electronic music! 

Starting as the house band at Sugar Hill records, Keith LeBlanc, Doug Wimbish and Skip McDonald hooked up with Adrian Sherwood to form Tackhead (aka Fats Comet). Working together with Mark Stewart (as Maffia) and Gary Clail (as Tackhead Sound System) they produced some of the most exhilarating, funky and down-right experimental electronic music of the 1980s. This set charts their career from 1984-1989, mixing in rare dub mixes, alternate versions and interviews with the band members themselves. It's time they got their dues; it's time to Play It All Back: "Tackhead in the Area!"

Going Nowhere

On Friday, 17th of April  1987, Carlton Barrett, the most brilliant drummer out of Jamaica, was murdered.

His iconic #Groove is well known from Bob Marley's albums.
No one before, after him played Reggae the same way.  We was a true master of the instrument and genre 💎.
 
Bob Marley's albums would not be what they are without his characteristic style.
Hundreds of drummers in the world are copying, his sound, and style until this day. It is widely accepted that so-called One Drop rhythm came from his style of playing. 

I have always loved his amazing style, being attentive listener I tried to note all those unobvious songs in which Carly played with his brother Aston.

Over time, I developed a really nice selection of tunes which I mixed tothether and today want to share with the world 🌍.

You will hear brilliant vocalists such as Leroy Sibbles & The Heptones, Junior Delgado, Yabby You, Hugh Mundell, Jacob Miller, Pat Kelly, Horace Andy, Cornell Campbell, naturally original Wailers singing  solo, dubs from King Tubby and Augustus Pablo and many others .

A set of real heroes of Reggae music, who in my opinion are backed  by the best rhythm section in Jamaica's history.

Sincerely
27Pablo

The Genius of Carlton Barrett of The Wailers in the mix by 27Pablo

This a 'bootleg' recording taken from within the crowd in front of the world music stage at Glastonbury Festival 1990.  It has never been heard before.  I have never made any money from it and give it freely. I recorded it using a Sony walkman professional. It captures the amazing atmosphere and you can even hear the sound being mixed by the wind as it blows it across the huge crowd!  Best memories and inspiration shared to enjoy and enlighten!  Biggest respect always to Adrian Sherwood & On U Sound artists.
