Natami Music 7” selection
NATIO 001 Quench Aid: I Am Missing You
Quench Aid rides a rough update of the redoubtable ‘Shank I Sheck’ rhythm with a sure sense of timing. The words express the pain of his solitary state. A heavyweight bass on the dub keeps things moving along.
NATIO 002 Dennis Brown: Brother Man Unite
A strong conscious lyric from the Crown Prince, also set to the same ‘Shank I Sheck’ rhythm, which Dennis sings with a good deal of poignancy. This is the best-selling tune in our catalogue.
NATIO 003 Little Kirk: Jah Love
This is a singer with a lot of intensity in his voice. His love of Jah is so exalted that it seems to pain Little Kirk to tell it. A fine roots tune and another cut of the ‘Shank I Sheck’ rhythm.
NATIO 004 Triston Palmer: Fight Fi Position
Veteran vocalist Triston Palmer makes terse comment on the power struggle. “Them a fight fi position,” he sings, “and the youths them a bawl but them really don’t know.” Straight to the head of the big man and the rich man!
NATIO 005 Sugar Minott: Take It Easy
Dancehall don Sugar Minott pleas for restraint on a tune that put his vocal style to its full use. This is a song in the classic mould and the singer is at the top of his form.
NATIO 006 Owen Issac: This World
“This world, fine, fine place we live in.” Natami Music impresario Owen Issac expiates his philosophy on life and livity in ‘This World’. “Say I man is a youth as the Emperor’s son, I want them know me come fi have some fun.”
NATIO 007 Johnny Osbourne: Holy Holy
This is a bold, Ras Tafarian laden version of the Neil Diamond classic. I’ve never heard Bumps in such churchical mood and this is a tune that I’ll personally be playing over and over.
NATIO 008 Michael Prophet: Cool Runnings
Jaunty cruising tune from the sweet voiced Michael Prophet. His vocal flits across the lyric one moment and then swoops into falsetto the next. Guaranteed good time vibes anytime this is played.
NATIO 009 Admiral Tibet: One By One
A real tub thumper this is. “One by one we a go step it outta Babylon,” the Admiral sings. “the wicked will have to perish. It will be a joy in the Promised Land. That is my greatest wish.” This recording is a real rocker that will stir the faintest of hearts onto the dancefloor.
NATIO 010 Owen Issac: Agony
Zackie rides Tibet’s rhythm with a good deal of verve and wit. “Oh what a agony, oh what a pain,” he laments, “to see my brothers and sisters them gone down the drain.” From here, the song develops into a prayer to the Lord that never lets up throughout its length.
NATIO 011 Johnny Clarke: Never Get Away
Another poised performance from the always immaculate Johnny Clarke. This third version of the ‘One By One’ rhythm is a sufferers lyric that begs the rich to give work to the poor.
NATIO 012 Sister Pansy: Travel Through Creation
A joyful gospel performance sung with a great deal of conviction by Sister Pansy. “Where should I go?” she asks. “Which way do I turn? I can’t turn back now. I must reach my destiny.”
NATIO 013 Not issued
NATIO 014 Not issued
NATIO 015 Owen Issac: 72 Different Nation
Wicked keyboard workout that sees Owen Issac calling for long overdue worldwide unity. We learn that former great man like Moses and Marcus Garvey “trod pon the Philistine land”, while the vocalist gives as breathless a performance as ever.
NATIO 016 Michael Rose: Take A Look In The Mirror
A great meaningful song performed in the classic style. This composition is most beautifully understated by the great Uhuru Michael Rose and is performed in his lyrical Waterhouse mould. A slow burner.
NATIO 017 Johnny P: No Missile
“We ask Mr Bush no bother buss no shot.” Gruff vocalist Johnny P’s highly original take on the current conflict in Iraq will be I’m sure be a big one with the rude bwoy crowd. Straight to the Coalition head.
NATIO 018 Ernest Wilson & Glen Rex: Coming Home
Country and western fare from the great soulful singer Ernest Wilson along with relative novice Glen Rex. This is Natami Music’s big push for radio airplay and is simply a great song.
