Invisible City Editions prize another
disco pearl from the clutches of
history with reissue of Oluko Imo's
sultry, subtly acidic disco blinder,
Praise Jah dusted down and primed for
big grins in the dance.
Every inch a cult anthem (with 2nd hand
prices to prove it) Praise Jah was
written by multi instrumentalist Oluko
Imo after arriving in New York from
Trinidad in the late '70s, where he was
member of groups including Black Truth
Rhythm Band.
The sound of New York clearly had a
sway on Imo's sound, where the results
heard on Praise Jah patently blend the
breeze and lilt of original soca and
reggae with rude and wild electronics
to properly hypnotic effect.
That wriggling bass, those daubs of
strings, the simmering vocals,
streaking electronics and utterly
reverent vocal are simply powerful. We
can only recommend buying two copies
and rubbing it next to the dub 'cause
you'll want to play this out for as
long as possible.
TIP!
NB: Encoded from WAVE file.
Vinyl is a good investment!
