Description
Noel Ellis features six dub-loved, heavy yet ethereal tracks, with contributions from OG reggae maestros Jackie Mittoo, Willi Williams, and Johnny Osbourne. The eponymous classic lost full-length includes the hugely influential "Rocking Universally, whose rhythmic influence was Willi Williams’ “Armagideon Time” (covered by The Clash) and the poignantly autobiographical “Memories” (about Noel’s upbringing in Jamaica).
