Rob And Gone Overview

The rocksteady flow on this release was shaped in the studio with careful attention to classic reggae rhythms. The roots selector guided the session, choosing deep bass and steady drums to create a sound that feels both vintage and fresh. This creative direction helped the musicians bring out the best of the riddim, making sure each track carried a strong roots vibe. The production was handled by Thompson Sounds, a label known for its work in the early 1980s reggae scene. Their experience brought a warm, analog feel to the music, capturing the spirit of roots reggae while allowing new ideas to shine. Barrington Levy stands out on the track "Rob & Gone." He is famous for his powerful voice and hits like "Here I Come." His performance on this song adds energy and emotion, showing why he is a respected figure in reggae. Scientist and Prince Jammy join forces on "The Force." Scientist is known for his innovative dub mixes, especially on albums like "Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires." Prince Jammy later became King Jammy, a key name in digital reggae. Their work together on this track brings a unique, atmospheric sound. Today, the rocksteady flow from this session is still played in roots sound systems, keeping the classic reggae spirit alive for new generations.
