So this arrived in the post today, and it's absolutely amazing. This album is austere, tantalizing and reminiscent of some of the old school dancehall greats like Sizzla. Proudly Rastafarian, packed with astute lyrical content. ''Officer ease out and don't you touch me by my hair'', from ''Rastaman Wheel Out'', speaks smartly about police brutality. Chronixx harks back to Rastafarian days of strength and unity, representing good and its struggle in conflict with Babylon and its evils. Musically it's quite dark and sombre, with some interesting dub versions at the end that are endearing. If there was one song to highlight, it would have to be ''Eternal Fire'' which pulses along with a fantastic groove and is filled with enchanting synth sounds.
