Sensie Rebsie -
Way to go with the dub mix. It works really well. Really unexpected yet a natural feel for this tune. Great job.

Indeed
Great Point . That and maybe the south wouldve realized slavery is Wrong . This is an interesting mix now that I think about it. Reagge has long been a style preaching freedom from slavery . The civil war was fought over the same issue,......hmmmmm. Interesting cycle dont ya think ?

I reckon that between us we could sort out all the world's problems. Bit of Reggae/bit of weed - problems solved. I could be Prime Minister, you could be President.

You know, when I first heard Rebsie's take on this,
my first thought was. Man, that would make a great reggae tune. Ok, I'm like totally fibbing. How fun this is!

LOL

You did promise a fun entry and fun it is Len :o) I just
love the timing on those flam fills in the gaps/pauses
in Rebsie's backing. Bit of snipping her part to make it
a bit more snappy if I'm not mistaken too.

That violin sound is a bit 'scratchy' IMO though... athough I really like the additional 'dee doot' bit though ..lol.

Yeah mon .. rebstafari!

A perfect example...
...of why music is the coolest way to travel inside of someone else's world...

Thick and chunky rich, with goodness!

Vox... Drums.. Bass... Violin... The odd toy synth piano/organ... That funky weird twagn' thang at the end... Production values.. - All very impressive!

Thanks! Macca

now I've heard them all.. I laughed at first.. until I realized that this is a very good job... and the vocal worked in a layed back way over the top of this... excellent idea... what a cool contest this is for bringiing out the creativity of MJ... is there a genre that is not represented?... you've done your part

bravo

Very chilled out mix.
The overall production is better than most dub/reggae I've heard.
Excellent groove.

I've never successfully played anything like this. I think you have to be a natural mystic.
Good work.

i overlooked you sorry!!
in so many versions of the same song names i didn't notice you, sorry for that len.
NEVER in my life EVER i could imagine that one can make out of the most traditional irish song a reggae! unbelievable. i am raising the hut to you. not only for the result, which is great and so unusual. but mostly for the fantastic fresh idea :) i like very much the bass and that extraterrestrial close-tongued fiddle. and the ending (the bell) gives little scary feeling, which is very joyful in the contrast with the happy rhythm of reggae. very nice twist at the end. very good job :)

Of course, I be sayin' it with a big smile because music be the ultimate herb and ideas be the ultimate groove, and when the ultimate groove and ultimate herb get together, it going to be one cool runnings, you know. And you do it one nice ride.

Aces!!!
len, you really did a piece of work on this ... this coulda been a disaster, but it's wonderfully playful! This works with rebsies vocals so well great drums, and a really chilled feel, which oddly works with the emotion of her vocal.

Big risk, but you pulled it off - well done man!!!
