This is a beautiful album by Johnny Clarke, who is known for his association with producer Bunny Lee and the band The Aggrovators. Here Clarke sets down a delightful selection of fine tunes lavished with some great lyrics and sounds. The tracks to check out are ''Fire And Brimstone A Go Burn The Wicked'', but the really impressive and magical track is the cover of The Wailers, ''Time Will Tell'' from the Kaya album. Clarke here really masters the sunny vibes akin to the Frontline Records sound, coupled with Bunny Lee's flirtation with dub after working a lot with King Tubby. A real merging of Rastafarianism and essentially dub is Johnny Clarke's sound. This is proved as being lyrically associated with Rastafarian themes, but having extended sections with experimentation.
