Review by double-happiness Oct 04, 2008
Dub comes of age. From the very start, 'Baby I Love You So' takes a firm grasp of the listener's attention, and refuses to let go at all costs. Multi-coloured swathes of 'Lover's Rock,' (the down-tempo, Blues-based variant of Reggae popular with the more amorous, as opposed to political or herbal, section of the Caribbean community in the UK during the late '70s and early '80s), are blended with samples remiscient of gritty urban reality, and the overall production is tweaked for maximum effect, a truly gigantic sound that swirls wildly and seems to come from above... The guitar refrain is particularly crucial to the overall effect, not the standard wah-wah, 'woppa... woppa...' that merely provides rhythmic emphasis in most bog-standard reggae offerings, but rather an ecstatic and rousing lead more typical of stadium or progressive rock... To my addled mind, the guitar evokes the biblical angel that slew the firstborn Egyptian in punishment for the Pharoah's pride... An avenging force, swooping down from above... A mystical emmisary that incites fear and awe... Dub comes of age, and the holy spirit is observed to fill the studio, inspiring great passion and humility in those present.
Rated 5/5

best use of dialogue from "escape from new york".

killer tune as well.
