The production team of Fitzgerald "Danny" Chambers and Courtland "Gizmo" White doesn't seem ever to have made much of an impact on the larger reggae scene, but the duo did manage to recruit a fairly impressive roster of singers and DJs for this mid-'90s collection. Featuring such established names as Nardo Ranks, Johnny Osbourne, Admiral Tibet, and the celebrated old-school DJ Michigan, this compilation is chock-full of heavyweight dancehall and digital roots rhythms (most of them homemade but two provided by the fearsome Firehouse Crew), and if the singing and chatting are both less than consistently compelling, well, that's just how reggae compilations usually are. Admiral Tibet ("Break the Barriers") and Edi Fitzroy ("Jail House") are, unsurprisingly, the class of the singers, while Michigan walks away with top DJ honors for his brilliant chat over the "This Time" rhythm. Lady G. gives him a run for his money, though, with her stern rudeboy admonishments on "Work and Trade." Elsewhere, Charlie Sprang does his annoying glottal-noise thing and Wayne Junior sings consistently flat. But hey, you take the good with the bad, and there's more good than bad on this album. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi
