Xterminator Dub - Xterminator - CD.

Fatis last dub album of the same name from a few years ago mixed by

Solgie did not have the effect on people it should have done. If

this latest set subtitled 'Make Way For Jah' doesn't inspire people

nothing will. The last one kept vocals out of the mix this puts them

into it. Tubby understood that the human voice was a very versatile

insturment (in his hands) and the same approach as been taken here, by

who well it could be Solgie its good enough for it to be his!

Xterminator - MLK Dub - RAS

Solgie is my favourite engineer for heavyweight rhythms - and they

don't come any heavier than Fatis productions. It's no great surprise

that in the last few years - three dub albums have come from Jamaica,

and he's been involved in all of them. It only needs one of these sets

to take off, and it could all happen again for dub.

V/A (Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell) 1RLP - Turn On The Heat - SCOM - 1989.

Fatis - Phillip Burrell began producing right at the start of the

Ragga era in 1985. Over the years he's carried into the business

singers like Sanchez, Pinchers and Thriller U, as well as working

successfully with more established artists. This album is one of the

first various artists sets he had released and features just some of

that talent previously mentioned. Included here are great works from

singers like Sanchez, Conrad Crystal, Quench Aid, and DJ's like

Flourgon, Daddy Freddy & Tenor Fly.

V/A (Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell) 1RLP - Exterminator Vol II - Justice -

1989. This is Vol II of 'Turn On The Heat' which is a little

confusing. That though is made up for by the sheer quality of this

set. A nice slow to medium paced rhythm is employed by the likes of

Sugar Minott, Josey Wales, Gregory Isaacs Frankie Paul & General Trees

who are all in really good form. Then it's the turn of the newer

talents; Quench Aid, Lukie D, Ricky Chaplain and Conrad Crystal who

also turn it on. With talent like this and producers like Fatis,

things do look good for the music.

V/A (Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell) 1RLP - Exterminator Presents Vol 3 -

Exterminator. Another one rhythm album, another title, and yet more

progress. The last two sets used original rhythms this one is a very

nice recut of 'Party Time' rhythm. Side One is devoted to well

established singers. Ini Kamoze's 'Hot Stepper' was the most popular

cut of the rhythm for Fatis. With Beres's 'See You Tomorrow' being a

favourite. On the DJ side, Tony Rebel's always got something

interesting to say, but so have Tipper Lee & Rappa Robert, Flourgon &

General Trees.

V/A (Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell) 1RLP - Muslim - Exterminator. With the

huge success of Sly Dunbar's 'Bangra' insprired 'Bam Bam' cut. Other

producers were sure to follow it. The origins of this album begin with

'Armshouse' from Capleton a big DJ hit. And it's DJ's who really make

the best out of this rhythm. With a notable exception coming from

Pinchers and 'O Lord Remember Me'. Papa San's 'Price Increase' is the

next to best DJ cut of the rhythm. While Cutty Ranks's 'Eeh' is also

very enjoyable. Capleton's original is not here, but 'G.C.Tax' from

him, is.
