Mark Wonder - Victory - Jah Light Music

A remarkable singer and songwriter - Mark's previous works are truly

outstanding, but when you have a number of singles out there it makes

a lot of sense to gather them together for a set like this. All the

greats have done that, Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott and Gregory Isaacs.

And they have been great works, this one joins them. And hopefully

will provide the little bit of punch that will make more take notice

of him. A 13 track set - full of cultural and reality lyrics of the

highest quality - sung in a unique style. Mark's now got a really good

team of people around - its just up to the reggae fans now to go and

support works like this - reggae music needs more artists like Mark

Wonder to truly move forward - but they also need some support - its

always nice to get a download, but then go and buy!!!

Mark Wonder - Jeremiah - Soundproof - CD

Mark Wonder - The Avalanche - Redbridge - CD

Followers of reggae music all know that there are very little

overnight sensations in the music, all the greats have had many

releases before they finally breakthrough - but that was the sixties

and the seventies. In this day and age, it should not take years for a

major talent to be noticed.

And yet here we have two albums - 'Jeremiah' released in 1999

and 'The Avalanche' which is still a possiblity for release. Something

is seriously wrong in reggae music, when this kind of thing is going

on.

Lets be clear these are not just good albums these two are up there

with the alltime classics.

Mark Wonder's vocals are something new to reggae - Aaron Neville the

great New Orleans R&B singer would be the only person who sounds

anything like him. Yet its the lyrics from Mark that make him special

they are on par with Luciano and Garnett Silk - really deep meaningful

songs that touch your very soul. This is reggae music at its very very

best. So how do you get the first album, well thankfully are on the

internet so please contact them

by email - soundproof31@hotmail.com or phone 876 944 4697. Hopefully

when the Redbridge set comes out, someone will make sure that

'Jeremiah' is available as well. Both of these albums are something

that needs to be heard.
