Simply one of the best albums of all time! Vocalists Cedric Myton and Roy
Johnson together with producer Lee Perry and a stellar cast of musicians and
singers at the Black Ark in 1976/77 make music which transcends any
category. Special 2-CD set contains the Congo's entire Black Ark output,
including many previously unreleased full-length versions, plus rare 12 inch
and dub mixes.
What the press say:
No reggae album more obscure than the Congos' Heart of the Congos is as
rich, and no richer album is as obscure. The Congos were just a duo,
airborne falsetto Cedric Myton and tenor Roydel Johnson, who got together in
1976 and approached old acquaintance Lee 'Scratch' Perry about recording an
album at his Black Ark Studio. This was in a two-year period when Black Ark
(along with King Tubby's) offered the most exciting, unpredictable
facilities on the island and attracted top hands like guitarist Ernest
Ranglin, organist Winston Wright, and percussionist Noel "Skully" Simms.
During the sessions, unrepeatable chemistry resulted in Perry's finest
production of a vocal group and a body of songs more vivid than anything
else by the Congos. Oddly, Island Records passed on The Heart of the Congos.
Perry put it out under his own Black Ark insignia. Then the Congos released
in themselves. The British Go-Feet label reissued it in 1980. It has popped
up several other times, each edition muddy sounding, incomplete, or both.
The handsome Blood and Fire reissue package gathers every snippet; vocal
renditions and their dubs, extra Perry-Congos numbers and a second CD of
12-inch remixes. This is a full-length revival metting in the Promised Land
of the Rasta faithful, though nonbelievers can still revel in its fervent
activist force. Perry knots electronic and handmade beats with consummate
ease while Ranglin and Wright deliver unobtrusive solos that etch like slow
acid. The album swims in hazy tones, shot through with mammoth bass rumbles
and slow sweet moans from background singers, most often the silky
Meditations. The sound that bursts out immediately is Cedric Myton's
falsetto. On "Can't Come In" and "Solid Foundation" he seems to breathe the
same air as Curtis Mayfield. Roy Johnson puts the vocal dignity and
assurance he learned as a member of of all-Rasta bands into his tenor work
on tunes like 'Open up the Gate'. The snaps and rumbles that power
'Congoman' make it a party natural, as does the jocular mood of 'At The
Feast" Passover plus ganja). Poetically twisted Biblical metaphors add
mystery to 'La La Bam-Bam' and especially 'Ark of the Covenant', which fuses
that ark and Noah's into a militant salvation granted to 'Even the ants /
Safe in a Noah sugar pan.' Still, compassion for humans shines on Heart of
the Congos. The mysterious images of 'Fisherman' flow around and around from
Jah Rasta/Jesus as a fisher of men, to a provider of spiritual food, to a
symbol of the congregation voyaging to redemption. All that is certain is
that those who would save their souls must row to reach higher ground. No
one sings the parable better than the Congos. Milo Miles - Spin (US), June
'96
