First Born

First Born – Exodus – Chapter 13 Verse 2 –

Vizion Sound -1999

The same inspiration and vibes found on the

early albums of Midnite are also present here

on this magnificent set from First Born who

hail from Guyana.

A truly talented band of musicians which

included back in 1999 - Wally Fraser,

Compton Garrett, Cecil Smith, Russell

Lancaster, Lamber Semple, Trayon Garrett,

Shawn Williams Troy Azore, and Earl

Soloman.

Wally Fraser gets the production credit – and

probably made the decision to bring in some

serious talent to help the band make this set

at Leggo's Studio with Gaylord Bravo and

Perry Hendricks at the controls.

The sound on this album is unlike that was

coming from Jamaica at the time. If anything

its closer to the kind of sound that Jah Shaka

was getting with the Firehouse Crew in the

early nineties.

And two tracks on this work of works are

pure steppers. 'Put A Shield Around I' and

'Don't Find Me Wrong' and I'm sure have

been played at many a Shaka dance over the

years.

Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps just like Midnite

who have released nearly 80 Albums. The

music of First Born remains a mystery to

followers of the music in this country. Yet Jet

Star to their credit released this set in UK.

So seek and ye shall find, because I know

there is more First Born music out deh!
