Description:
By the dawn of the 1980s, Jamaican music was undergoing a transformation, as a new generation of music producers began changing the sound of Reggae, introducing new techniques and approaches to the art of music making. Spearheading this sea change were two of the island's most respected musicians: Sly Dunbar (drums) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass). Following the launch of their Taxi imprint in 1979, Jamaica's so-called ‘Riddim Twins' quickly became established as the island's most innovative and successful producers. By way of introducing their music to the world at large, Island issued 'Sly & Robbie Present Taxi' in 1981, with the album swiftly topping the Reggae Album listings. Now, at long last, this seminal collection, featuring some of Reggae biggest acts of the Dancehall era, is finally made available on CD as part of Spectrum's 'Originals' range.
