About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Reggae
- Description: Following the of Hollie Cook's fifth studio album, Shy Girl, and her return to Mr Bongo 15 years after her debut, the album's producer Ben McKone reconstructs the recordings into a newly cut dubwise . Crafted on an analogue mixing desk, Ben strips back the productions in vintage dub reggae style. He weaves in delays, echoes, and reverb to push Hollie's trademark sound into a hypnotising, rhythm and bass-heavy, electronic realm.Rich in the tradition of reggae albums from the late '60s onwards, Hollie wanted to reimagine Shy Girl through a dub-focused lens. Evidently, only one person seemed the perfect fit to do so Ben McKone of the General Roots, who was the producer of Shy Girl and featured heavily across the album as a co-writer and instrumentalist. Someone who had sat with Shy Girl for so long and knew the record inside out. Having found a studio that could accommodate his creative process, Ben got to work experimenting with the stems and effects. He brings the rhythms back to the mixing desk, using it like it's own instrument to give the tracks that heavy, spatial, dubwise treatment. Taking influence from past pioneers, everything happening on the album was improvised live, with some mixes taking up to 25 attempts to get right from start to finish. As Ben mentions, InchI love the freedom and human element of dub mixing and find the limitations of some older productions very inspiring tooInch.Paring the songs back, yet dialling up that bass-weight pressure, Ben creates space for chosen elements and instruments to do the talking. Bringing the drums and bass to the fore, he utilises classic echoes, reverb, and effects, as Hollie's vocals drift in and out of the mix. The album opens with 'Shy Dub', a sound system focussed reimagination of the original album's title track, heavy on the tape delay with snippets of Hollie reverberating across the drums and bass.

While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.
