Rumours Riddim (1996) – Star Trail

1996 reggae from Star Trail, Rumours Riddim brings together a compact five-track lineup led by Beres Hammond’s Rose Garden and Terry Ganzie and Anthony B’s Jah Will See Me Through, with Derrick Lara, Daniki and Steady Ranks, and Danny Browne and Paul Crosdale also cutting cuts to the same rhythm. The release was produced under the Star Trail name and carries that mid-90s roots-to-rub-a-dub feel, with the vocal versioning giving the riddim a warm, melodic flow. It’s a short but well-chosen set, and Beres Hammond’s presence gives the package extra weight, while Anthony B and Terry Ganzie help anchor it with one of the stronger combinations on the tracklist.
