CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "A feast of heavy, pulsing reggae ... next to any vintage record from the likes of Spear, Marley or Tosh, you'll find it on par with those noble predecessors." -- CMJ New Music ReportOverwhelmingly authentic, Rasta-inspired reggae with crushing grooves, mesmerizing lyrics, and razor-sharp social commentary. Reissue of the most acclaimed, rootsy album from Midnite's plethora of releases. Includes three of Midnite's greatest hits: "Lion Wears the Crown," "Love Right, Live Right," and "Foolish and the Wise." The first-ever reggae CD recorded entirely without artificial enhancements--no overdubs, EQ, or electronic reverb. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsLion devour and the lamb decipher DAN SCHWARTZ | NY, NY USA | 10/24/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "i own hundreds and hundreds of roots based reggae cd's. this album is one of the finest ever made in the genre. fierce rhythm skank, deep bass lines, hard one drop style drumming and intense lyrical dexterity rank ras mek peace right up there with the all time classics. i eagerly await the next offering from midnite and highly recommend this one to any and all who seek the truth within. reggae music is alive and well thanks to works such as this." "Who feels it knows it." - Bunny Livingston R.T. Makonnen | Earth | 10/23/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "In light of their prolific output of consistently moving roots reggae, their creative genius, precise musicianship, and inspiring message, one can only guess that the only two reasons Midnite has not achieved global superstardom are (1) they are from St. Croix, Virgin Islands, and not Jamaica, and (2) they do not want global superstardom. True to their religious beliefs, they realize that global superstardom is empty and not worth their aspirations. I feel certain that the more juvenile reviews ("They're great! "No, they're not!" "You suck!") posted here do not reflect the tenets of the music its "supporters" claim to appreciate. Universal peace and love is the way. Respect for all. To each his own. Make your choice and move. "Ras Mek Peace" (and the rest of this band's work) demonstrates musically the Rastafarian faith in its purest essence, unashamedly. Dark brown wood roots grow from the soles of the feet of the artists who make up Midnite, digging deep into the sands of St. Croix, trees of truth whose fruits are falling slowly, one by one, on all the lands of this desperate Creation." Keep'em coming... aloha2go | aloha2go.com , | 10/12/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "with 4 albums under their belt, Midnite is a bonafide supergroup
in the Reggae arena, their sweet rasta sound is mixed bass heavy and the lead singer's voice and lyrics are just...just massive. look for their other 3 CD titles...not much dancehall stuffs here, Roots to da max. there's not another reggae band out there that has their blends of rich reggae sounds! jah says to check it out mon!" |
