Tempo: 65/130bpm Key: G major ] Lyrically timely and always a favorite at concerts, this version of the reggae classic “War Ina Babylon” has  Subatomic Sound System mixing an old school one drop beat into a thumping 909 kick & snare, a reggae bass line mixed into modulating electronic sub-bass, and impeccably reincarnated horns, guitars, and percussion build on Scratch’s original influences, introducing stylistic elements of Jimi Hendrix and a new, key-modulating bridge section that veers into Malian blues and features the African kora.  Scratch originally wrote the song for singer Max Romeo and included a dub remix “Black Vest” on his original Super Ape album with featured sparse chatting vocals and new horn lines.  All those elements are tied together here with Scratch adding new lyrical themes to address current issues with corrupt government, police shootings, and religious leaders while Screechy Dan sings all the vintage Heptones harmonies.

Wicked Got To Fade Away feat. Ranking Joe

Out now on 'Super Ape Returns To Conquer' album! Zion’s Blood [Length: 4:24 Tempo: 67/134bpm Key: A minor ] The roots of the mystic spiritual vibes Scratch conjured up from Africa and was known to have instilled in the likes of Bob Marley are here combined with Subatomic Sound’s pulsing 21st century sub bass and 909 kick drums guaranteed to rattle massive bass bins like the latest trap or dubstep track while maintaining  a deep meditation.  “Zion’s Blood is flowing through my vein, and I&I shall never work in vein/ African blood is flowing through my vein/ and I&I will never fade away” is repeated like a mantra throughout the song, upending typical song structure and in many ways capturing the essence of Scratch’s creativity and ideology, reclaiming his lost African history through musical production, inventing the genres of reggae and dub to establish his reputation, but refusing even at 81 years old to stop innovating.  Rebuilding this song with no samples from the original, it was critical to capture the magic of the original like the introductory heavy tom toms and whistle that announce the arrival of the Super Ape and the majestic African horns signal the royal Emperor H.I.M. Selassie who Scratch claims to be his spiritual twin (notice the resemblance of their faces).  The Wes Montgomery style guitar lines in the original are further developed here by Emch and the regal horns lines, though produced in gritty and vintage Black Ark fashion, are pushed to the forefront to pump up the energy and highlight the African roots of the composition.

Super Ape Returns to Conquer

Lee "Scratch" Perry + Subatomic Sound System | Zion's Blood

featured on the 2008 release 
Roots garden records 
“Showcase Part 1”

( issued on 12" vinyl and digital download)

Produced and mixed by Nick Manasseh 
featuring: Johnny Osbourne, Chezidek 
Bob Skeng and Dark Angel

Catalogue number RGR:SC001

Tracks 7 & 8

Reggae veteran Johnny Osbourne is one of Jamaica’s best-loved singers with scores of hit tunes from nearly four decades for the likes of Winston “Bam Bam” Riley, Studio One, King Jammys,
Channel 1, Bobby Digital and countless others. His hits span
over 30 years and include “Truths and Rights”, “Folly Ranking”,
“Buddy Bye-Bye”, “Come Back Darling”, 
“Give a Little Love” and “Water Pumping”.

“Black Starliner” was first heard as a Sound System dubplate special, eventually released by Roots Garden to popular demand on 7inch single in 2005(RGR:001). Quickly selling out, the song gained massive air play on radio stations worldwide and became a much sought-after modern day roots classic on the European sound system circuit.

Manasseh totally reworks the original rhythm track for the remix
with more of a contemporary feel, yet with obvious references
to the early 1980’s Roots Radics era of ‘dancehall’ roots hits
mixed by Scientist. Johnny Osbourne’s baritone vocal takes a
fresh approach to the popular repatriation theme by
addressing the issue from a sharper angle:
”you wait for the Black Starliner, and you never want to
go a Africa, you never want to hear the words of Jah Jah,
you never read up the holy scripture, you never respect
one another, and yet your waiting for the Black Starliner?!”

‘Harder’ is the debut single from Soul Revivers and features Jamaican master guitarist Ernest Ranglin.

Soul Revivers are reggae veteran DJ and producer Nick Manasseh and David Hill of the Ballistic Brothers and Rootikal.

The track, which has tough rhythm topped with Ranglin’s wonderfully fluid guitar and tight horns section, and has already received support from Gilles Peterson who said, ‘This is special, return of the great Ernest Ranglin’, and David Rodigan, 'This is superb, so refreshing and so unique. Ernest Ranglin on top form’.

“Nick and I have loved the music of Ernest Ranglin since the 80s, which was when we first discovered the unique sound of his guitar on those classic Studio One rhythms. Collaborating with him has been a joy and a blessing.” David Hill, Soul Revivers

Released on all digital services on the 29th May 2020, a vinyl 45 will follow in July. The debut album ‘No More Drama’ will be released later in 2020.
