The Revolutionaries to rockers music what the skatalites to ska. With their producer Jo Jo Hookim and Channel One´s engineer Ernest Hookim they created a new era in sound which completly revitalised the music of Jamaica. Never before had the drums been given such prominence and used to such great effect, with Sly Dunbars millitant rim shots sounding like gun shot and the horns of Marquis, McCook and Gordon blazing over the top of the lethal rhythm section. The album contains some of the finest rhythms ever laid by the Revolutionaries during that explosive year of 1976 when their sound led the way. Some of the rhythms may be familiar to you as the backing tracks to highly successful Cannel One vocal outings, but they have never been released in their present form either in England or Jamaica, which makes "Revolutionaries Sounds Vol.2" a somewhat unique dub album.
