SEEED 'New Dubby Conquerors'


Dancehall in German?  Hm?!  In effects on the first the idea could leave us perplexed , but listening to the disk of debut of these Seeed the same idea to the fine one does not there seem then very bizarre.  On the other hand, a lot of you will know already the German outift, considered the success that obtained in all Europe their recent single ‘Water Pumpee’, realized in company of Anthony B, of whose ‘Waan Back’ is in practice the remake.  This ‘New Dubby Conquerors’ is their debut album, a work that leaves to shine through in some parts a considerable talent and leaves to foresee big things for this group constituted from quite 11 (!) elements, between singer, deejays and musicians.  The album is opened with ‘Dancehall Caballeros’ a piece hardocore ragga with everything the cards in rule to split in any dancehall and… yes, sung in German!  Not badly really.  Much the same can be said  for the ska of ‘Pope Noah’, piece from the taste roots sung in English and enriched by intense vocal harmonies, so like ‘Psychedelic Kingdom’.  While the listening continues  we notice  that one of the points of force of the group is the wise use of some effects and of the sampling, as well as the ability and inventive  with whose are made reinterpretations  of the classic reggae like ‘The Tide is high’ of Joh Holt, or the riddim of ‘Police & Thieves’ of Junior Marvin on which is based their strong ‘We Seeed’.  We got to say  that not always their reggae dancehall sprayed of Hip Hop works so to the large one and in fact here we find some pieces of routine in this collection .  Little badly,  because the Seeed already has passed the exam  for what pertains me, thanks to the cited big tunes!!
