I'v...Hey man, thanks for this brilliant review. I've been a Midnite fan for years and continue to be so impressed with the work Vaughn (Akae Beka) is putting out. The family of Zion I Kings Productions produces, to me, the best roots reggae. So much else is just boiler plate reggae. That's why I keep coming back to Midnite/Akae Beka albums. It's also great to see that Akae Beka remains prolific, with great material, so I never have to wait long to get a great album.<br /><br />I add also that Beauty for Ashes was my favorite! "A Reminder" starts with such an energy, such a vibe, all the way through to "A Healing". "A Healing" appealed to me especially because of my field of study.<br /><br />I didn't think Beauty for Ashes could be topped. It's still my favorite but the subsequent albums have also been so good!<br /><br />Give thanks for this review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642134995097176874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183638380794714350.post-17708026010938218862016-10-30T22:40:41.015-04:002016-10-30T22:40:41.015-04:00Can't wait to get my paws on this one!

But I am guessing you intentionally chose to focus on the broader commentary on human endurance. <br /><br />Well done !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270406397056855686noreply@blogger.com
