A dab of Dub
Nilpferd alerted me to this song--Armagideon Time, by Willie Williams, used in the Jarmusch movie Ghost Dog. I was very excited to discover that Jackie Mittoo is playing on it. And here's a nice long dub version by the Clash, as well as a song with a similar name by Mikey Dread, as well as a Lee Perry song for Frogprincess's fishy dinner.
Justice Tonight/Kick it Over--The Clash
Armagiddeon Style--Mikey Dread
Roast Fish and Cornbread--Lee Scratch Perry

nice one, steenbeck- I'll listen after dinner.
And Nilpferd, I keep forgetting to say I have some CDs almost ready to go...Hopefully I'll make it to the PO on Monday. Don't know why these things always take me so long.
tree-mendous noises
It was the bass and organ which really caught my ear in Ghost Dog.. a great track, nice trombone too.
Really enjoyed The Clash dub as well.. perfectly balanced, very nice keyboards and atmospherics, fantastic drumming and I love that glockenspiel thing too..
listening to the rest right now.. looking forward to the CDs, I can use some diversions at the moment..
mmm.. Roast fish...
The organ=Jackie Mittoo!! Sorry bout the exclamation marks.
I have always loved Armagideon Time.
When I lived in Notting Hill, it was one of the numbers that the local sound systems used to play a lot.
