Album Notes
SOUND OF SOUND appears on the newly revived Taxi label; this is the second album in a series of Sly & Robbie compilations.Sly & Robbie: Sly Dunbar (drums); Robbie Shakespeare (bass).Additional personnel includes: Judy Mowatt, Jack Radic, Michael Rose, Dollar Fifty, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Garnet Silk.Recording information: Megabite Studio, Kingston, Jamaica.Unknown Contributor Roles: Cutty Ranks; Dollar Fifty; Garnett Silk; Jack Radics; Judy Mowatt; Leroy Smart; Michael Rose; Nadine Sutherland; Chaka Demus.The second compilation released by Sly and Robbie's Taxi Records label, which was newly revived in 1993 at the time of this release, SOUND OF SOUND is rather like a state of the union address of early '90s reggae. There's roots reggae, including a terrific solo track by former Black Uhuru lead singer Michael Rose, who has arguably the best voice in reggae history (with the possible exception of the late Dennis Brown) and a playful cover of the Supremes's "Stop! In The Name of Love" by the underrated Judy Mowatt. There's '90s-style reggae pop, including a track by British chart sensations Chaka Demus and Pliers. There's electronic dancehall reggae in the form of two tracks by the wily Dollar Fifty. There's even some good old-fashioned lover's rock; in that underrated style, Garnet Silk's "Green Light," probably the best thing on this collection. Sly and Robbie produced and play on every track, but these singers and musicians have enough of their own creative spark to ensure that they sound like no one but themselves.

Editorial Reviews
...the production picks up where the Black Uhuru records left off: crisp and clean, with modern rhythms and spare arrangements, plus occasional dub-style effects...
