CULTURE

Culture was singing a new kind of hymn with soaring melodies, prophetic lyrics relating great historical events to present suffering, complex, driving rhythms which made the hymns danceable, and wonderfully subtle arrangements which remade the timeless simplicity of the hymn- like melodies into sophisticated statements.

Two Sevens Clash, Culture's first LP, set a new standard for reggae music-- indeed for pop music all over the world. Culture went on to record a series of outstanding albums, remarkable in their consistency, but Two Sevens Clash remains their masterpiece-- an inspired work of enduring power.
