The Viceroys' cd "Love Is All" contains "lost" recordings from the 1980s. Some 18 pure and undiluted Studio One classics are gathered on Souljazz Records' latest Studio One sampler. "Remixed : Dubwise" is a truly wicked remix/dub album from Twilight Circus Dub Soundsystem. The "Blue Steel" riddim is a combination of steel pan and hardcore bass heavy drum beats. "The Best Of..." contains a very fine selection of 10 years of Catalanian ska compiled by the band Dr.Calypso. Well delivered, sophisticated reggae music can be heard on Mateo Monks' debut album "Guidance & Protection". Motion Records have unleashed the first in a series of three 10inch singles featuring tracks recorded at Kingston's legendary Randy's Studio. Mind, Body & Soul's "Revelation" is another worthwhile re-issue from the vaults of B.B. Seaton. El Condorsito's first 7" single is a decent effort that benefits from Sam Gilly's "Positive" riddim.
