Sinead O'Connor is back in the music. Become quiet it was after their retreat 2 years ago about her, obviously she had become too much and become necessary to establish a sufficient distance from the professional events the hype. The time has obviously used for self-discovery and deepening their own spirituality. One aspect of their very deep faith had signed off for some time: The influence of the Rastafarian movement, crystallized particularly in the roots reggae rhythms of the 70s and 80s. Not quite surprisingly for connoisseurs of Sinead O'Connor therefore their new album Throw Down Your Arms where they give this old gentlemen pays its toll. The tribute is interpretation of the pieces that have influenced them most, and. While maintaining the essence So any new interpretation or artistic work-but "homage" and emphasis. Sly and Robbie and the no less excellent and well-known musicians remaining crew are building a solid foundation for this album. Although the riddims could still be a lot stronger expression for my taste, but they provide the perfect foundation for Sineads voice. So clean riddims, gentle Dubs (on CD2, see below) and a very expressive voice. A few highlights from the songs broached times: The beginning is made with an a capella of Burning Spears Jah Nuh Dead. Here O'Connor can show the same, what you really can: Accented sing! She changes fluently from cautious, thoughtful - almost absent - "moralizing" the pictorial. After another Spear-covers (clearly her Favourite) comes the Abyssinians classic Y Mas Gan - by distant background vocals and Sineads strong front presence my first check out tip! The Riddim Twins characterize here the Riddim so extremely relaxed, Geil! Untold Stories mentioned, Buju's classics, suddenly turns up with an acoustic guitar, Niyabinghi drumming and an extremely subtle drums. Perfect production, hard to the original but it is still by good sound and rough voice original! Completing the album, of course, Marley's War - the song she once intoned in her most famous and most notorious performance, Sineads banishment from the American pop scene as she tore Live on TV a Pope photograph. I can recommend übrigends apparently produced exclusively for the German market second CD in a twin pack. Here are once again all tracks found in a slightly different way. Sly and Robbie have immortalized themselves with a couple of fine Dubs. When first playing the difference is not really clear, the details come to the hearing. The reggae fanatics so may save CD 1 and concentrate on CD 2. Summary: Sineads voice and often very moody nature and in contrast cleanest Roots Beats by Sly and Robbie, somehow most perfect Winter Reggae, provided thanks to thematic selection of songs with enough content!
