oi, you, put down that doob and get out you're credit card!, 31 Jan 2004
Can't believe no one has reviewed this! The twinkles are such a well loved bunch and this is such a top collection of tunes!! I guess you'd say they were roots reggae, so how comes they've got so much energy?! The lyrics are a classic blend of rasta indignation and rasta nonsense, and all the more loveable for it, but its the driving riddims and hooky melodies that really make this special. Really in it's own league and this contains the best twinkle tunes - Never Get Burn, Babylon Falling and Jah Kingdom Come - all classic rasta biblical baloney, but absolitely blinding songs, Since I Throw The Comb Away (nearest you get to social comment), and One Head (... only one head you've got, take good care of it... sage advice, but how were they at taking their own medicine?!). If you like roots reggae go and buy this. Then go and buy live at Sunsplash to hear some rocking live versions of these great tunes. Enjoy!
