|
2003 release. The gnarliest reggae compilation in Christendom, drawn from the '70s and early-'80s heyday of the Toronto-based Half Moon label, when it played host to stars like Joe Higgs, Augustus Pablo, Johnny Osbourne, and Leroy Sibbles, and home to locals like Pluggy Satchmo and Dill Smith. Raw, twisted, compelling, time-and-again staggering productions by Oswald Creary, in the tradition of his childhood-friend Lloyd Bullwackie Barnes -- and Lee Perry and Keith Hudson -- but utterly themselves. Rough, tough, mystical roots. Brilliant mastering by Moritz von Oswald. Silk-screened sleeve (and the artwork is Will Bankhead's finest hour). Just awesome. Artists include Joe Higgs, Johnny Osbourne, Dill Smith, Pluggy Satchmo & Jah Levy, Leroy Sibbles & Otravis Band, Stranger Cole, Super 8 Corporation, Louis O'Connor, Rothadam, OJ, The Blenders, Bongo Ossie & The Moonlights, Bingi Kicks & G. Campbell, and Carl Dawkins.

"Carpark is pleased to present the 4th full length recording from Marumari (his 3rd for Carpark) entitled Supermogadon. The continuing effects of interstellar space travel combined with extended stays in New England have created even more musical building blocks for our young space traveler to work with. Dare we call Supermogadon more 'mature' even though Marumari is ageless? Our boy has taken elements of smooth jazz, 80s alternative rock, and 70s American radio hits and given them a more playful digital interpretation. Sadly for marketing departments around the world, this is dance music that fits no currently existing dance genre."
