Rating: If you enjoy the minor melodies of the great Augustus, dive into this album.
You will find:
1) Mystical minor sound, namely minimal Caribbean and psychedelic sway, with solo instruments making a sly appearance just slightly offbeat, also because their time is elsewhere.
2) Chilling vocal harmonies, pure silk, pure honey, pure ecstasy... the solo voice, magical in its own right, accompanied by the eternal cosmic falsetto of the pards.
3) The ancestral that becomes pop, the pop that becomes transcendence.
4) The California of the sixties (without, of course, our friends knowing anything about that California), as if David Crosby had recorded his famous solo album in Jamaica, but take this with a grain of salt.
You will find all this and also a lot of stuff I can't even describe… And since I can't describe it, I'll stop here.
Then okay, here's the reggae song par excellence, that "Satta Massagana" which is kind of a prayer. Because these guys were mystical, mystical and political.
And if Flaming Axe, mystical and political as well, achieved hypnosis with fury, they achieve it with softness… the same feeling "Miracle" by Bim Sherman gives me... and that's all...
Aloha...

01 There Is No End (03:23)
There Is No End lyrics
Yes, my friend
This is not the end
You've got life to live, my friend
And not life to give
Stop blaming yourself
And find someone else
I'm not the only fool
Stop beaking the rule
Things you did to me
Puts you in misery
Stop going around, blaming yourself
For the things done by someone else
Do the right things, speak the truth
And your days will be much longer
Tomorrow is another day, day
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day
I'm not the only fool
Stop beaking the rule
Things you did to me
Puts you in misery
Stop going around, blaming yourself
For the things done by someone else
Do the right things, speak the truth
And your days will be much longer
Tomorrow is another day, day
Tomorrow is another day
So don't you go away and stay
Tomorrow is another day
06 Leggo Beast (03:12)
Mmm...
Here come some wicked men
Coming fe hurt me and me friend
Acting like a wild pagan
Peeping like a leggo beast
To a cannibals fierce
They came on strong and broke the peace
And when they came all tongues cease
They came with guns and licking sticks
They meant no fun, we knew their tricks
Each one with his rock steady
And his pistol cocked ready
Mmm...
They came on strong and broke the peace
And when they came all tongues cease
They came with guns and licking sticks
They meant no fun, we knew their tricks
Each one with his rock steady
And his pistol cocked ready
Mmm...
We, we don't know wrong
We're all God's children
And we are strong
You can, you can hurt us now
You can, you can hurt us now
Cause we are strong
Strong, strong, strong, strong, oh
Mmm..
08 Satta Massagana (03:32)
There is a land far, far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
That there's a land far, far away
That there's a land far, far away.
: The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sits upon his throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all. :
There is a land...
Satta Massagana Ahamlack, ulaghize
Satta Massagana Ahamlack, ulaghize

10 Declaration of Rights (03:30)
Look, oh Lord, they brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these hells/years (?)
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say
Get up and fight for your rights my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights my sisters
Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worse here than hell, I say
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister
16 Reason Time (02:57)

Abednego lyrics
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Working dead(?) to be thrown in the furnace
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
They had no fear, no fear at all
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
It was three, now it's four in the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
All were amazed by such mighty power
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
It was Igziabeher, yim mas gan
It was God, let him be praised
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
