Blacker Dread
Various Artists - Rhythm 2 Rhythm -Vol 8 -Blacker Dread
Many many years ago - the one rhythms was very easy to understand
12-14 cuts of a rhythm. After a while it went all the way down to 8 -
no problem - it was still nice to get X amounts of cuts of a rhythm
all in one place. Then things started to change - rhythms no longer
carried the name of the tune. Then the albums started to carry two
rhythms instead of one - finally with the CD - the track count jumped
to 20 or more. You put all this lot together and you end up with this
CD. Which is a good work - but is still confusing. 'Real Iron' is not
on this album it would make a great title for a instrumental - that
would bring the track count up to 15. That would be a great CD. 'From
Creation' one of Blacker Dread greatest tunes would be better served
as another set. The five tracks present here are not enough. Hopefully
the next Rhythm album will be that set.
