Inna de Yard Fire Burn

Release from the legendary reggae star. Ken Boothe, O.D. has been through thick and thin, through star-time and no-time, from living in the shanties of Denham Town and it's environs to the beautiful neighborhoods of Kings House, St. Andrews in his homeland of Jamaica. Ken Boothe, O.D. has straddled the social status-spheres, both locally and internationally, in California, New York, Toronto and London. He has conducted numerous tours of Europe, North and South America, Japan and the Caribbean.

Guitarist and composer, Mike De Souza, is making waves on the London jazz scene and his debut album entitled Slow Burn, is a testament to his talents. Previously having released an EP, Road Fork with the same band, this is a much broader representation of his compositions and influences.

Classics are classics for a reason, and this compilation champions them across two slabs of wax. All four sides are jam packed with firm reggae favourites from Bob Marley's stirring "Soul Rebel" to the buttery croons of Gregory Isaacs on "Babylon Too Rough". Mick Hucknall's inclusion will raise some eyebrows, but there is no denying his version of "Night Nurse" with Sly & Robbie has something going on. Smokers will delight in ganga odes from Eek-a-mouse and the lovable innocence of The Congos hit "La La Bam-Bam" will always have a place in anyone's affections.

A compilation of the legendary voices of reggae. It features Bob Marley, Linval Thompson, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Jimmy Cliff, Dennis Brown, Lee Scratch Perry, Ken Boothe, UB40 etc.

1000 Smiling Knuckles is the 1991 album by Seattle rock band Skin Yard, a group who were arguably a major part of the Seattle sound of the 1980's and early 90's before a Seattle sound became trendy. This was released by Cruz Records.

While Nova is preparing to celebrate its 35 years of clearing all the way, the Nova Tunes number 3.5 does not deviate from the vocation of this collection: to offer ever more demanding ears the best of the playlist of Radio Nova of these month. Heat, eclecticism, surprises, detours and musical obsessions of the programmers of Radio Nova, always turned to new sounds, unstoppable melodies, spectroscopic arrangements that make the uniqueness of Radio Nova's Grand Mix.And as the period is dark, Nova Tunes 3.5 chooses to display itself in warm colors, promises of better days.
