Things And Time Riddim – Techniques Records

Back in 2002, Techniques was still leaning on the kind of warm, rootsy one-riddim work that kept reggae radio moving, and Things And Time fits that moment nicely with seven voices riding one classic framework. The cut has that easy mid-tempo swing and a tidy, bass-forward feel, letting the singers carry the emotion without crowding the groove; Freddie McGregor’s “Get Ready” and Marcia Griffiths’ take on “Bend Down Low” feel especially natural in the pocket, while Bushman and Tony Rebel open things up with “What’s The Matter. ” Frankie Paul, Natural Black and Sanchez keep the mood romantic and reflective, which suits the tune’s older-school sensibility. Sanchez closes it out with “I Love You, ” a simple ending that leaves the riddim doing the talking.
