I lose it when you hear a good DJ toasting/chanting over a solid dubwise track. This delivers 100%.

An absolutely killer Prince farI and Arabs collaboration.
Solid tracks laid by the Arabs and Fari in typically stupendous form.

This for me rates massively alongside Long life, Psalms For I, Under Heavy manners, Cry Tuff Dub Encounter series as works of pure genius.

long live King cry cry. Never ever forgotten!!

Gold and Gold, 03 Jan 2008
The late Prince Far I was dubbed `the voice of thunder' and often likened to a fire and brimstone Old Testament prophet descending from the mountain - which was perfect!
This is dread, dread music, intoned in a big, deep voice by the dee-jay. He has long been a favourite, and to hear these obscure sides gathered together is a true joy.
The earliest title is a reworking of the Slickers' `Johnny Too Bad' for Syd Bucknor entitled `Johnny Get Worse', released only on a white label, but already Far I's style is instantly recognisable. Two Enos McLeod productions for Soul Beat and several sides for Micron follow, then material from Far I's own `Cry Tuff' label and finally sides from the UK label HitRun. The sounds are exemplary throughout, and variation is added by the presence of a couple of Far I's productions on singer Errol Holt.
In short, essential listening for anyone interested in seventies roots, and as lovingly presented as only Blood & Fire know how. Buy it!

For me, this is where Prince Far I is at his infectious best. Using that wonderful gravelly voice to blaze out Psalms like a Fire and brimstone preacher. Definately one of his better albums.

The best dub album of all time? although the second half hasn't dated that well, and is mainly straight - ahead instrumental versions of vocal tracks, the first half is out of this world. Apparently the young Adrian Sherwood was recording engineer, and it shows. Totally spaced out percussion that can give you vertigo if you listen through headphones, and the sort of earthshaking basslines that only '70s dub could produce. Maybe a bit too dry & heavy for some, but an all time classic nonetheless.

if you like your dub with a BIG bass this is for you, 19 Dec 2000
This is a classic example of 1970's dub at it's best. From the first track the deep deep bass line and the throaty growl that is Prince Far I's voice pervade your ears. Track after track the minimal but visceral bass never ceases to please.Play it loud, turn the bass on your amp to maximum and enjoy the aural assault!

Another excellent Prince FarI album. Difficult to find fault when Fari chants/toasts/sings over haevyweight dub rhythms.
I,ve had this on vinyl for over 20 years and it brings tears to my eyes to think some cretin senselessly killed this man for some unknown reason.

Long Live, Prince Fari.

Dubs Worthy Of Prince Far I's Name, 05 Sep 2003
Prince Far I chants on this CD but only in small doses. His thundering voice appears on some tracks, where the producer has included it over some excellent dubs. The musicians on this CD are some of the best including The Roots Radics. Most of the dubs are reminiscent of the typical Roots Radics sound and if Prince Far I had lived longer, I’m sure his dub music would have had a similar sound. This CD is dedicated to Prince Far I and not by him as the cover implies. The dubs though are definitely worthy of his name.

Track after track the minimal but visceral bass never ceases to please.Play it loud, turn the bass on your amp to maximum and enjoy the aural assault!

Must Have!!, 22 Mar 2002
A fantastic collection of dub roots reggae by the late Prince Far-I-funearal in mood,only gets uptempo for the last track which is an absolute blinder!!The dub versions here of many of their tracks work really well.I think it's the best in the cry tuff series.

if you like your dub with a BIG bass this is for you, 19 Dec 2000
This is a classic example of 1970's dub at it's best. From the first track the deep deep bass line and the throaty growl that is Prince Far I's voice pervade your ears. Track after track the minimal but visceral bass never ceases to please.Play it loud, turn the bass on your amp to maximum and enjoy the aural assault!
