july link up right nanana

totally love this blog! thanks everyone...

not quite sure if this is one song or three or five, but it definitely makes the grade of music that i can't stop listening to. the rhythm is an update of a forgettable ("classic") uncle bob track called coming in from the cold and further proof that he was simply more marketable than the current crop of totally ignored, totally more compelling and arguably more worthwhile jamaican artists. there's something so joyful and guarded about all the artists singing on it and a kind of we are the world feeling of everyone being in the studio together - which is almost certainly not the case. Like all great rhythms it's got the holy trinity of a new artist you've never heard of totally running the show (angel doolas - who has 46 friends on myspace WOT) sizzla singing falsetto about colonial systems and the big acorn reggae remix.
