Riddimspresent the core of the musical sytem of Reggae and are in most cases
not muchmore than a particular bassline-loop that forms the basis for countlessversions. See it as something like an Open Source Code for music - while inmany cases the true origin of a riddim is lost in history the versions,mutations and transformations of it highly contributed to the continualevolution of Reggae. The goal is always to add something new to the
riddim.That started off with ‘’(no voice, structuring by sound and effects) or ‘’(somebody toasting over a riddim) decades ago.

The idea of our EP was then to extend this spirit way overthe closed system
of Reggae and Dub. I chose the ‘DRUM SONG’-riddim, an oldpiece by thebacking band ‘Sound Dimension’ and one of the most versioned riddims ever, sentthe MIDI-data of it to several musician friends from VERY different fields andasked them for a version. Since everybody started out with exactly the samefistful of MIDI-notes it’s highly interesting to hear to what spheres theriddim finally took off. From Digital Roots Reggae (, ) over thevariations of Electronica (, ) up to thebitcrushed 8bit-aesthetic of the principleis truly transcending. So be prepared for something entirely different!

And now that the album has been reissued yet again in 2011 to celebrate On-U Sound's 30th anniversary, we're back to the correct titling/numbering system. This is the long way of saying that the track we played tonight, 'Space Movement 2' is also known as 'Space Movement 7' depending on what CD you're playing and, of course, what continent you're on. Whatever, it's a great track, and so is the whole album.

Buy it, and play it all the way through (just like we used to in the olden days!) and I betcha you won't even care what titles or numbers go with which tracks. It is still the best of all Creation Rebel albums, and one of the best records On-U Sound ever released.

Jackie Mittoo Ram Jam Original

If Kingston’s Studio One was the crucible of Jamaican recorded music during its 1960s heyday, then the chief alchemist was undoubtedly the late Jackie Mittoo. Merely on the strength of unquestionable keyboard virtuosity (most notably on the Hammond B3), Mittoo’s place in the annals of popular music is assured. But as these 18 sparkling tracks demonstrate, Mittoo (who succumbed to lung cancer in 1990 at 42) was essential to the development of Jamaica’s musical ethic, from jazz and soul to ska and reggae, and remains as vital as ever even in the midst of today’s computerized dancehall craze.

Befitting an artist of his stature, a stellar team of players was recruited for this tribute project, including Monty Alexander, former Wailer Tyrone Downie, Ibo Cooper (of Third World fame), the masterly if mercurial Harold Butler, Ansel Collins and more recent heroes like Sydney Thorpe and Paul “Wrong Move” Crossdale.Indeed, most of the cast either played with Mittoo in his prime or took their formative cues from him, and the result is a truly heartfelt, all-stops out commemoration. Whether it’s Alexander’s jaunty rendering of “Evening Time” (a Jamaican folk standard), Keith Sterling’s jagged organ shards on “Who Done It” or Mallory Williams’ whimsical “Dancing Groove,” the keyboardists do great justice to Mittoo’s legacy. Not to be outdone, the rhythm section, principally featuring “Riddim Twins” Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare lay down the seemingly impossible grooves that characterized the classic one-drop sound.Interpretations & Improvisations is a long-overdue acknowledgement of Mittoo’s seminal influence in creating the amalgam known as reggae. In recalling Mittoo, Downie gushes that the keyboardist deserves a statue and a special day, like fellow luminary Bob Marley.

That may never materialize, but this disc is a more than worthy substitute for now.
