Long story short: almost 20 years ago i realized a dreadlocked friend of my eldest daughter didn't really knew about Reggae-Culture - so I've burned a series of CDs for him with kind of "my understanding" of what Reggae means to me, musically.. So this doesn't yells out loud "This is Reggae", it's more of what I've learned to love since I've heard my first reggae album (it was "War ina Babylon" by Max Romeo, played by an old hippie in the south of France late 70ies). Turned out that a guy  (aka "Snoid Studios") also loved reggae and could provide a wide collection of ie. singles and rare LPs. 

The rest is history, we became friends for now over 40 years amd Reggae always took his place all over these years for us. Soon it turned out Reggae being a major influence in what was heard in the early 80ies in the so called Hinterwald scene, everyoine had LPs in his collection. I was in heaven as the guy who visits you and takes your LPs with him to make a tape of them ;)

My tape collection mid 80ies

So I felt being a bit "sophisticated"enough tp give Bennie (aka JAH Beany) an impression. Of what I love. Early live Bob Marley, Lee Perry, Sly & Robbie, Sata & Roots.He liked it and maybe you'll enjoy it as well ...

The "A Dread At The Controls"-Mikey Dread Saturday Night Show at Radio JBC is also part of the "JAH Beany Tapes"  which sounded for a long hot summer out of every car ...

Roots At The Beep

The Major has some strange habits. Like recording Gideon Coe and Marc Reilley on BBC as WAV, cutting all the live stuff, coding the tracks to .FLAC and .MP3 and storing them well sorted in his archives at the "Hermetic Garage". A very strange habit, yep, but there has always to be the one crazy guy doing this strange work so you can profit from it in downloading the results here. 

As the Major loves Reggae Music since a mystic moment in the year 1975 at the town, where Nostradamus once lived (Salon de Provence in the South of France, where as we know "all the ladies love to dance") when an old french hippie played this "War ina Babylon" longplayer while juggling virtual crepes ... so lets start with a nice collection of roots music from the Beep
