Anthony B - Higher Meditation - Greensleeves

Frenchie the Frenchman and the one Anthony B have stuck up a good

working reletionship over the last few years. This is another great

set. Anthony B can deejay and come up with good lyrics - its a shame

that his style was not copied more back in the early nineties,

deejaying would be better for it. Frenchie's rhythms show that Mr B

can handle all kinds of rhythms, but it would be better if he stuck

with one style of rhythm. For the most part these are roots rhythms

here, and they do suit Anthony B, they suited back in the days when he

was recording for Richard Bell's Star Trail label. Its good to see

producers working with artists over the course of an album again.

Nothing against the compilations - but one artist - one producer does

seem to suit reggae music better.

Anthony B - Black Star - Greensleeves

The second album in six months from Anthony B produced by Frenchie.

And this one as got a very good vibe - its kinda crackles with energy

from the first track to the last. From Ini Kamoze's 'World A Reggae

Music' to the combinations with Jah Cure, and Ras Shiloh. Anthony B

lyrics go from the cultural to the everyday. Frenchie's productions is

clear and crisp - making good use of all what new studio technology

can offer. Its just the kind of album that Athony B needs and what

reggae music needs more of.

"Anthony B - Real Revolutionary - Greensleeves - 1996

Buju Banton didn’t invent the singjay style style, but the impact of his ‘Til Shiloh’ was sure to make a big impact on the upcoming DJ’s., and this debut set is the first sign of the process. Anthony B’s big hit ‘Fire Pon Rome’ for producer Richard Bell’s Startrail label, was always going to lead to an album, no doubt about it, but would that set ever been released without the success of ‘Til Shiloh’? The fact that it is, and it’s on Greensleeves is a major cause to celebrate. For this is a tremendous album. That it is a debut, makes it even more special, Recoreded and mixed at a wide range of studios, with an incredible line up of musicians."
