Aswad
SPECTRUM
nicely displaying the group's jazz-tinged, roots reggae sound, 'aswad' (1976) features such vocal highlights as 'can't stand the pressure' & 'concrete slaveship', as well as the fine instrumental 'red up'.
while not as successful as their british peers steel pulse, aswad still qualifies as one of the best roots outfits to emerge outside of jamaica. a fitting start to the band's long & impressive run.
