';: ........................................... :;`
' `
Having signed to the Columbia subsidiary Chaos, the Wailing
Souls were now ready to conquer America, and launch
themselves all over the world. However, the title track,
which opens the album, was guaranteed to send their old
roots fans running for cover. A funky disco monster, it's
hard to believe this is the same group that gave us "Bredda
Gravilicious" and "Lawless Society" all those years ago. But
just to drive home the changes, two tracks later the Souls
throw themselves into the housey R&B of "If I Were You." All
Over the World is as stunning as it is shocking,
incorporating virtually every element of the current music
scene, from jungle beats to urban R&B gloss, from rappers
("Pappa Juggy" and U-Roy) to backing vocalists parading as a
church choir. The record's rhythms are absolutely
astounding, a seething cross between the new hip jungle
style and the dancehall's beloved military tattoo. The
diverse sounds collide head on, as on "You Ain't Leaving,"
where the militaristic beats plow into the steel drums, and
the ballad the Souls are crooning crash into the DJs' raps.
Elsewhere, hardcore hip-hop smacks into R&B, as the amazing
rhythms pummel everything in their path; Latino melodies
slink in, too, but all that's nothing compared with the
covers. The startling version of the Rolling Stones' "Sweet
Black Angel" is done up Western style, but is corralled by a
Gospel choir, and serenaded round the campfire by an
incredibly smoky sax. Less successful, but equally
unexpected, is the cover of a McGarrigle Sisters song; a
love ballad gone jungle, but with elements of its folky
origins still simmering in the brew. However, there are a
few more island-orientated tracks, a purer dancehall number,
the deep roots of "Shark Attack," and the blast from the
past "Picky Picky Head," which blends early reggae, steel
drums, digitized beats, and a roots segment into a frothy,
infectious confection. A truly awesome album, that, even
after multiple plays, continues to astound.
