Subtitled "Skanking into Dreamland." My daughters were clamoring for something new to hear on their CD player at bedtime. They had tired of the usual Chet Baker, Vaughan Williams and Mozart selections …

Comment:
I wanted to create a "warm weather" mix with a theme.This mix serves as a soundtrack for an imaginary film about a riot, styled after the Notting Hill Carnival riot of 1976. The opening tracks are meant to convey the misery-free, all-dancing party portion of the film. Skanking galore!
Right around the half-way mark or so, we begin to learn that life is not so grand for our imaginary protagonists. Then, the carnival descends into a full-scale riot... Babylon is truly burning.
I anchor this mix with "Police and Thieves," a deceptively beautiful song and the tune that provided a de facto soundtrack for the real Notting Hill Carnival riot. After the Heptones weigh in with the sumptuous "Babylon Falling," I lighten the mix considerably -- giving my imaginary film a happy ending by closing with Johnny Rotten's third favorite song and a Jimmy Cliff tune that reminds us all to quit "fussin' and fightin.'"
This mix is dedicated to all of us who are emerging from a winter of sadness and entering into a spring that promises much happier times. You know who you are.

Hooray for Toots! And all the rest, too.

This looks fantastic. I especially love "Sweet and Dandy".
Excellent mix! Maybe also Brand Nubian's "Wake Up (Reprise In The Sunshine)" could've made it.
I can dig this! I have some John Holt on cassette I picked up in Jamaica in the 80's. Very cool and laid back. This looks interesting and off-beat (but I am not a reggae expert - just a mainstreamer). Hope all is well.
very nice Erik!!!!!!
quite brilliant. I can't get enough of me ska/reggae mon.
John Holt=god. This mix is a heart attack.
