Album Description
Available in:
Aswad has proven to be one of Britain's most influential and enduring reggae acts. Though later releases would find the group exploring more commercially oriented, R&B-flavored reggae (and garnering crossover chart success as a result), their self-titled debut for Mango is a satisfying set of straightforward roots music. For the most part, the album traffics in floating, downtempo grooves, as on the instrumental "Red Up" and the surging "Natural Progression." In addition to their bright, guitar/keys interplay and air-tight rhythms, four of Aswad's five members sing, and the album is filled with strong solo and group vocal performances--the gospel-touched "Can't Stand the Pressure," for example, and "Back to Africa," Aswad's first single.
