Resistance

Burning Spear

Stately brass and hypnotic chanting recorded at Tuff Gong. A mid-eighties roots masterwork that feels like ancient history being retold over a heavy, slow-burning fire.

A dignified and unshakeable spiritual resolve anchored by heavy, slow-burning rhythms.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic repetition of the mountain foundation lyric on track 3, creating a trance-like state.
The mournful, stately trumpet entry on Jah Feeling that anchors the track in deep dread territory.
The way the bassline on the title track locks into a relentless, unshakeable groove.
