Product Details

By 2007, the remix album had become a minefield for legacy artists, more likely to dilute than to honor. This Six Degrees collection threads that needle carefully, putting Marley's vocal performances and the original rhythmic architecture front and center while giving producers room to work within a dub and bass music tradition that was always in conversation with reggae anyway.

Reggae legend Bob Marley is being reintroduced to sound systems worldwide. A crop of today's hottest producers including Jimpster (Jamie Odell), Yes King (Rhys Adams & Mark Rae), Trio Elétrico (Boozoo Bajou), Fort Knox Five and DJ Spooky have remixed a dozen of the cherished songs of the celebrated and beloved master. Roots, Rock, Remixed balances that fine line of being respectful to the inimitable artist Nesta was, and using the bass-heavy, digital technologies available to US today. Nothing of the gorgeous, crackly analog originals (including classics like One Love, Trenchtown Rock, and Lively Up Yourself is lost in translation.
