Dr. Israel Presents Dreadtone International: Patterns of War, ROIR, 2005
Rating: A
Dr. Israel again. Remember his first? Inna City Pressure? Astonishing musical vision. This is follow-up. Patterns of War. Almost as good.
Track number one. Simple piano riff. Forceful, clipped singing. Repetitive melody line. Skankin good rhythm. Textured electronic trickery. Bass like molasses. (Thick, dark, rich.) Lyrics about escape.
Quote of the Moment
“Many rise, many drop, but we SOLID AS A ROCK
Dem did tink we would a drop, but we SOLID AS A ROCK
Keep we eyes, to di top, and we SOLID AS A ROCK
Lookin forward neva back, cause we SOLID AS A ROCK”
-- T.O.K.
