Absolutely searing hot release and bubbling on the boil beats from the king of cool. He released a whopping 72 albums, and more than 500 compilations of previously released material. I hold his 1982 album Night Nurse in very high regard, all the tracks of that on this best of are great, the title track and ''Cool Down The Pace''. What is not included on this best of is his song with Lee 'Scratch' Perry, "Mr. Cop'' which is arguably some of 'Scratch's finest work. It remains a mystery, but another highlight is the track ''My Only Lover''. His trademark is the slow pace of his music similar to rock steady, later coined lovers rock, because of this pace and also the theme of the lyrics usually about love interests and with a romantic thematic, coupled with some groovy early synthesizer sounds gracing it all.
