Do yourselves a favor and download "Super Good Looking," by The Adjusters from Mp3.com. This song is yet another example of the sheer genius of this band. They cross their usual reggae/soul/funk grooves with trip-hop style drums and effects, and as an extra-added treat is the sexy vocal stylings of the love of my life Jessica Basta. Unfortunately their record label just went belly-up, so i fear I won't be hearing too much more from them soon, but trust me -- this song will make you willing to wait. If you're more into a traditional sound, check out their track "Can't See the Light." This one is a brilliant mix of 60's soul and Dancehall Reggae. The churning ska beat is peppered with gruff male vocals courtesy Daraka, and beautiful feamale backups. On the flipside of this is the Teutonic Reggae stylings of the infamous Richie Senior aka Dr. Ring-Ding. Both of these songs are reportedly from their new album called "Otis Redding Will Save America." I pray to god it gets picked up by a label soon. On a sidenote, check out http://www.7wow.com This internet-based record label offers a whole lot of traditional and third wave roots ska, as well as some reggae and dub sides. Check out their sample Mp3's, and if you want a guaranteed great one, I recommend "Dave's Friend," by the Slackers. Have fun........ modskin _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ____________________________________________________________ T O P I C A -- Learn More.
