A real reggae legend Bob Marley still attracts many music producers and his songs are very often subject to various remixes and special sets. Roots Rock Remixed is one of them - enriched by Bombay Dub Orchestra, Fort Knox and other familiar names. This is a really nice music for relaxation and funky mood and you shouldn’t miss it.
The first officially sanctioned Bob Marley & The Wailers remix album ‘Roots, Rock, Remixed’ is out Monday and features some well known tracks from the Lee Perry produced Black Ark days given a respectful reworking by some notable current producers. Out via Quango, the best remixes come from Afrodisiac Sound System, Yes King (Rhys Adams & Mark Rae), Trio Elétrico (Boozoo Bajou), Fort Knox Five, King Kooba, DJ Spooky and a great remix of ‘400 years’ by Jimpster. The Marley family have backed the release, saying ‘Roots, Rock, Remixed retains the songs and the spirit of the original Wailers’ recordings and creates a great dance party record.’
