Natural Vibes - Life Inna Prison No Nice / Version
Blue Mountain / Digikiller / Deeper Knowledge US 1986
N/A
atural Vibes tune is a holy grail, plain and simple. In several years of watching the internet and digging records in New York, Canada and Jamaica, we know of only two copies. No small feat in this day and age! But more importantly, this rare beast is a hell of a tune, a wicked sparse and heavy variation on the 'tempo' rhythm, with a stark message of reality to match and killer synth/keyboard sounds.
