"Rarely does a set of remixes unite such a disparate set of genres as roots reggae, dubstep, techno and cosmic balearica with such effortless aplomb as this red hot 10" plate from out of Bristol town. Suitably, its been burning holes in premier league sound systems through recent weeks: Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti for instance -- as well as providing the climactic moment of Pinch's recent, much discussed and widely sought after Dubstep Meets Techno mix for the wonderful Mary Anne Hobbes' show on Radio 1. Andy Scholes of Henry & Louis recorded the original, yearning Tony Tuff vocal to 'Answer' during the mid-'90s at the legendary Channel One, Kingston Town -- one of the holiest of studio spaces in Jamaica. Tuff's pedigree since the early classic African Brothers' sides such as 'Righteous Kingdom' is beyond question, and here the loops and arcs of his vocal taps into that same spiritual feeling, as he sends out 'a message to all corners of the earth.' Rob Smith of More Rockers fame stays true to this heritage for his remix, like the long term, dyed-in-the-wool true roots man he is, underpinning the Prince Far-I echoes of Prince Green's inspirational DJ delivery with considerable bass pressure. Ras Stryka Dread's mix ascribes a fluid digital reggae low-end flow to proceedings which should fairly sing on the more digitally-inclined systems."
