Thread Name: So, what about reggae?
Subject: RE: So, what about reggae?
I did not realise what a brilliant band Bob Marley and the Wailers were until it was all over. They seemed to have a psychic bond which let the musicians know when to leave space for each other. It was rhythmically very complex, but there was no neglect of melody or harmony. I particularly like the dynamic effect which they got from their harmony and rhythm. "Stir It Up" is an erotic masterpiece, without being the slightest bit smutty. It's not my favourite music, but I am a great admirer.
