Reviews

[rangerstyle.com] Kulchaklash track-by-track commentary with Lone Ranger
01. Sweet Talking
This is Ranger doing some Sweet Talking for his daughter. Bouncy riddim.
02. Braeton Killings
This one has a more european crossover flavourish. Ray I is doing the original element.
03. Aya So We Deh
A chanting thing. An old Studio One roots tune I wanted to do for years. In this one we kinda have a singjay style...
04. High Grade
Wicked! Baad. A reasoning track. If you listen to it, smoke a spliff and go into meditation, you will go deep, very deep. It's a subliminal message for you to roll a big joint while listening to the album and relaxing. A goog meditation tune, this can soothe the mind.
05. Music Weh Dem Wan
Wicked. Wicked! Big tune! I'm trying to define a hip hop/reggae crossover there. Plenty style.
06. Rasta Roll Call
This one's alright. It has it's own flavour.
07. Fever
My favorite song on the whole album! For all these years I wanted to do "Fever" and I had to wait until I met Phabao and TIMEC to get it right. It's a combination style of Ranger, singer and deejay. Counteracting styles. Gliding in deejay style. Original 70 deejay style of Lone Ranger, you know.
08. Ethiopia
Chanting style. Inspiration style. Dedicated to my friends. With a wicked sax part. Late-ska/rocksteady flavour.
09. A Who
There's a lot of wool in a sheep's clothing. Rastaman, who are you?

It's a wicked album.
This a first one.
Many more coming, original Phabao style, but better!

[djouls.com - best of 2004 - part one] Grant Phabao "Presents Lone Ranger & Friends" (TIMEC 2004)
Grant Phabao, alias "Dub Salvador" pour certains en manque de mix vraiment profond, "Je Sais Pas Ou Il Va Chercher Ses Oreilles" pour d'autres, est parti en 2003 à Kingston (Jamaïque), jusqu'à New York (USA) en passant par le studio La Pinède à Paris (France!), pour produire deux albums de reggae comme un véritable Lee Perry ou King Tubby, avec la minutie d'un Herbie Hancock et d'un Mike Marsh (The Exchange). Le bouche-à-oreille bat son plein et les invités se bousculent aux sessions organisés par le Grant. Un premier album voit finalement le jour début 2004, avec en invité de marque une des inventeurs du rub-a-dub (plus tard ragga), légende de chez Studio One, Lone Ranger, et quelques-uns de ses amis, parmi lequels Ray I (célèbre pour son "Weatherman Skank" ou ses collaborations avec Jacob Miller) ou Danny Dread. Un chef d'oeuvre de reggae roots aux tubes multiples (la cover de "Fever"!).
Le premier pressage (1.000 ex.) étant été vendu en moins de 2 jours (quasiment intégralement sur Ebay et aux abonnés du djouls.com) il faudra désormais attendre la diffusion de cet album par le réseau libre et légal Utopeer.com et le prochain pressage, limité cette fois à 500 copies, prévus tout deux pour l'automne, mais remasterisés en THSIX Supersaound™ par Grant Phabao lui-même!! Ça c'est de la bonne nouvelle. Suivra ensuite début 2005 le deuxième album issu de ces sessions, moins roots et plus électronique, lui, avec Horace Andy, Simon Diamond, Pompidoo, Quench Aid & John Wayne... Et ça, c'est de la super bonne nouvelle.
