Culture - Harder Than The Rest

I just got my hands on this exemplary landmark release on CD by the very gracious Culture. Just scanning through the sleeve notes and noticed Sly & Robbie are involved and there is Ansel Collins on piano and organ. Basically this is a monumental achievement. The label The Front Line has a very revolutionary and militant aesthetic to the music, which in turn creates this affect with the lyrics that this is like a soundtrack to an imagined Rastafarian utopia. Culture really base their music around a bright vocally driven approach (the original group all sing and play nothing else) with punchy organ parts. The tracks to lookout for are ''Behold'', "Stop Fussing And Fighting'' and ''Tell Me Where You Get It''. ''Iron Sharpening Iron'' is also a bit of a highlight.
