ALGORIDDIM: LINVALL THOMPSON (1)

ALGORIDDIM: LINVALL THOMPSON (1)
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, January 2008 - In three episodes, Chicago-based Reggae Radio program Algoriddim introduces us to the life and works of Reggae Vocalist and Producer Linvall Thompson.

Linvall Thompson is a remarkable figure in the history of Reggae Music. He is a talented and skillful singer as well as producer with an enormous catalogue of works that somehow involves his name as his resume.

Born in Jamaica, he left for the USA in 1971 to be with his parents. The going was rough, especially for Reggae Music in the USA. In New York, Linvall teamed up with Horace Andy and started an band-with-no-name, only to return to Jamaica where he would work as a vocalist and producer with just about everyone in the business: Lee Perry, King Tubby, the list goes on and on.

Algoriddim Radio livicated three episodes to the enormous amount of work that somehow had Linvall Thompson involved. This is the first part, mostly diving into Thompson's work with and for producer Bunny Lee in the 1970's.

The show takes us through 50 different titles in just over an hour, all skillfully mixed into one non-stop mix by our host who knows his riddims as well. As we move from one tune into the next, we are being treated with the skills of King Tubby, Tappa Zukie and many others.

And this is just part one-of-three!
