No Marley vocals at all, except where he was originally on the backing
tracks with the I-Threes. This project is ambient dub, like much
of the LOST IN THE TRANSLATION album. It will probably appeal more
to ambient fans than dub fans. However, I've heard rumors that
Adrian Sherwood is also remixing some Marley tracks for a second
album of remixes. THAT should prove interesting!
