Garvey's Ghost

Burning Spear

Roots reggae veteran Winston Rodney provided vocal tracks that were subsequently overhauled by engineer Phillip Smart. The result is a skeletal companion piece that strips away lyrics to reveal the core of these powerful anthems.

Recorded during a period of intense Jamaican studio experimentation, these songs lean into the psychedelic textures of the mid-seventies dub movement. It demonstrates how a rhythm section can deliver a revolutionary message with focus on tension and space.
