Reggae is a hugely popular art-form, and yet rarely has it been represented properly in a sample CD, so Big Fish is extremely pleased to present Dread. Quit planting that stuff in your back yard, get back inside and make some sweet rhythms. These construction kits are gorgeous...the drums are authentic, the bass is low and throbbing, and in the 'pocket' like it should be. Also included: extra drum hits, loops, keyboard bits, guitar and bass loops, and lots more. This fat one will take you from dirty ol' raggamuffin dub to joyous island sounds, you can't find a better reggae disc. "If you want to 'Marleyfy' your music-making then this'll be just the ticket." - Computer Music. "Dread captures a wide range of contemporary reggae tastes... Reggae devotees will find lots of authentic, no-B.S. material on Dread, and if you're a composer-for-hire who's bluffed your way into TV spots for Caribbean restaurants and haven't a clue about reggae, this would be a great disc too." - Keyboard

Future Music | 7 out of 10

Reggae is a musical evergreen and, like a lot of music from the late sixties and seventies, it has aged well. It's influence on dance music is obviously, from the dubby bass in drum'n'bass to the Augustus Pablo-type noodlings of Gorillaz on their Clint Eastwood...

Keyboard Magazine | Pros: Full of authentic reggae flavor. Welcome balance of clean and lo-fi sound quality. Cons: No isolated guitar skanks. Bottom Line: An outstanding reggae toolkit.

I spent a couple years playing I a reggae band called Workmaster General and another year or so with the Equal Solution Band. I fell into reggae by accident, and it wasn't without resistance that I came to love its throbbing rhythms and the musical freedom offered by...
