Carl,
I havent heard the releases you mention, (except for the
Massive Attack) but have known of him for a while, from eg "Horace Andy
Meets Bim Sherman and U-Black" (or something like that.) and he used to
do some Ragga stuff too I *think* like "Rambo". I would guess that the
Marley cover album would be exellent as like many Jamaican singers,Horace
Andy has an exellent voice but sometimes sings dodgy tunes :) , > >
This reminds me of when I first heard this (aj) type of music, as my
freinds would say havent you heard this and play Jazzmatazz and Massive
Attack, And I'd say Isnt that Ini Kamoze/ Horace Andy ?
