Eastwood And Saint - Stop That Train - Greensleeves

DJ duo's have always been successful in reggae - to the extent that

Chakademus and Pliers took that success into the pop charts. Clint

Eastwood and General Saint, never had that kind of success - but ten

years before Chakademus and Pliers - they were working the same idea -

and they got close very close. Produced by Chris Cracknell, this album

'Stop That Train' is probably the first Dancehall/Pop album. It

predates the success of people like Smiley Culture who came into the

pop charts with the fast style mc-ing. This is more traditional than

that. And all the time you are listening you can't help wondering what

this would have sounded like with the Roots Radics pounding away, but

that kinda misses what this is about. The Inity Rockers provide the

rhythms, and they do a great job. Another part of the great reggae

jigsaw puzzle.
