[Dave]

Another patchy attempt at mainstreaming reggae that the late-Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff, among countless others, had long-bettered...

However, with the advent of Dub by Brown's backing band, Joe Gibb and The Professionals, there is partly, the feeling of some renewal...

While Commerciality can help sales and create a diverse market, there's still yet a need to realize the right formula, however, to really keep this from being too much radio banality-overkill...
