'Mushroom.' 'Paperhouse.' Where does this come from? What wild animal memory is being channeled here? Musically these guys were as skilled and sophisticated as anyone you can name, yet their sound expresses something just as primal and primordial as a bunch of Neandertals pounding on the cave walls with sabertooth-tiger bones while a woolly mammoth is bellowing nearby. A storm that nobody can identify. Urgent yet relaxed. It knows it's the real stuff, but it doesn't have to say so. It just IS. So deep in the pocket, it's stepping on all the loose change.
'Halleluwah'-- OH YEAH. Mother (Sky) heartbeat. Rising and falling. Pumping in the blood. Plugged into the earth, tapping into ancient energies that never found a name. Prehistoric funk. Your whole body and your mind want to be twisting like your hips. Grasping it by the instincts. Are the band playing it, or is it playing THEM?
The dog barking-- I forgot about that. A nice touch. My ears hurt now, but it's worth it. Nothing fancy, just the most basic tape effects. It all could have been done in a sweltering Trenchtown studio down the block from Augustus Pablo-- and would the Rastas have dug it? I bet. And just think of what else people might be able to hear in this music while under the influence of a huge spliff...!
