Everything Criss Riddim – Bam Salute Productions

A sharp little 2004 set, Everything Criss Riddim keeps the focus on clean rootsy juggling and a small but memorable lineup, with Horace Andy’s Talk About Peace giving the project its deepest pull while Fano’s Wanted and the Quench Aid and John Wayne combination add a rougher, more talkative edge. Bam Salute Productions keeps the rhythm plain and sturdy rather than flashy, letting the bass and skank do the heavy lifting, and the whole thing plays like a compact slice of early-2000s reggae craft with no wasted motion. With only six cuts in all, including the opening Dub and the closing Version, it moves fast and leaves the title rhythm hanging in the air after 6 tracks.
