No Dfl, you're not wrong, he made calypso international (gosh, how beautiful Bellafonte was, I know this is an unnecessary comment), but still... anyway Michoos, just so you know, the more roots ska (and rocksteady) might hold some really nice surprises for you... okay I'm off, good night everyone! and... respect!

Michoos, listen here, just to help you understand where part of reggae comes from, the steeldrum is a foundation of Calypso (originating from Trinidad, Caribbean). -- then read here Day-O (Banana Boat Song) - Wikipedia -- bye, have a good evening!

Bad Michoos, bad :)) Jamaica is a Caribbean country, very close to the USA, and reggae originates from the fusion of Calypso (a Caribbean music genre), ska, rocksteady (already present in that country before reggae, basically reggae is slowed-down ska) and Afro-American blues and even jazz. The African percussive side is complementary, not of origin...

And the rocksteady, and the ska, and the calypso? Mmmmm.... it's not directly descended from African rhythms, the path is longer and more intricate... (not to be controversial)

Then Haile Selassie came to Jamaica, took a look around, returned to Ethiopia and said to his people: "Folks, we have a big problem in Jamaica" (meaning he outright rejected this veneration, "frightened" by an exodus that the Jamaicans hoped for, but, indeed, never achieved)....

Wow, what a review! I’ve never really paid attention to them, and I won’t start now, but I read it with pleasure.

Here it is! Thank you. Right, indefinable, and precisely for this reason one of my absolute albums of the '90s, which I still enjoy listening to today, but I know many won't like it for that "prog" side. I agree on Birkenhead's singing (who also had a stint with the guitar in Youth Of Today), at times cloying as you say (I would say "garrulous"), but I consider it a little youthful sin, quite forgivable. This is one of those typical forgotten albums but plundered by industry insiders to come... I didn't know the bassist had died, damn. Anyway... stop&go never die.
