This is an absolutely terrific purchase and I cannot believe how good this album is. Herbs really laid down on the table the bare roots of Oceanian reggae, and it has never been surpassed, but Katchafire came along and came ever so close to topping it. The tracks to look out for are ''Feels Like'', ''Groove Again'', "Reggae Revival'' and ''Sweet As''. New Zealand reggae to me represents a struggle against colonialism and for identity against pure evil; it is so untouched and unheard of by many, barely making ripples, but the music stands head and shoulders above a lot of contemporary music. It is groovy, well composed with terrific musicianship and lyrical content. It is basically all you could wish for in music.
