V.A. - New Cross Fire Page One
Sir Collins Music Wheel LP 1981, engineered, arranged and produced by Sir Collins
"What's happening with you when you listen to the tracks of New Cross Fire in which Sir Collins put the voice of his dead son?
Inspire yourself by listening to this record, do not only judge the music. Put yourself in the place of Sir collins who made this album in a process of enormous bereavement.
Goose bumps! Is the music interesting? Musically technically maybe not, but who cares? Music is emotion and can help you in every part of your life. And when, where, how and which music does help you is something that overcomes you, let it happen and describe your experience. So you can inspire others to appreciate the music by making them listen through your ears."
If I listen to that album of Sir Collins the album doesn't get any better because now you told me the child's voice is of his dead son. I like the album, it's happy catchy reggae, that's it. If an artist suffered a lot, f.e. he spent five years in prison, and he put that in his music, or at least tried to, his album might as well be dull. Music can be judged objectively by criteria. Experiencing music is a personal thing, and is not directly related to musical-technical quality. The artwork of an album defines your personal feeling too.
"Sure listening to an album is a combination of the album cover and the music. Surely in the case of this Sir Collins album. The cover makes you curious, gives you expectations... and the music might reveal itself.
To me to listen with other ears means to uncover myself. It's easy to say "happy catchy reggae, and that's it." You've heard the record and write it off as nice. That's how I translate it. Funny thing is that I don't hear happy catchy reggae on this album. Obviously I listen to this album with other ears. Question is "What would the artist have rendered with his music on his album?" Something about this album touches me deeply.
I can feel that this album had a function for this artist, and in certain tracks this is very strongly expressed.
You tell me that it doesn't matter to you that Sir Collins uses the voice of his passed away son.
In other words: It does not change your ears to the story that the artist wants to tell you.
You hear happy catchy reggae on an album which is a tribute to all the victims of the New Cross Fire.
By the way, what touches me is not the voice, it's in the mix. The sweltering emotion that Sir Collins put in certain songs is very strong. If you want to be touched by that you have to place yourself in the frame in which the artist created the album. I spin this record rarely. I almost feel some kind of shame, because this is a document of somebody elses very deep personal emotion. Fortunately experiencing music is a very subjective thing.
Often I search for different ears, and to the deeper layer of an album or a song. Often the most tuneful and catchy tracks that you first liked are not the tracks that eventually will stay on your mind, by listening more carefully and often. Maybe you listen with more artistic ears to the music than I do. I listen exclusively with feeling. What does the music do to me, where does it pull me, what state of mind does the music fit in, does it make me happy or quiet? I can't explain it. The albums I sincerely love and that are interesting to me
probably aren't interesting to you. So I can ask you if your ears hear what my ears hear. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't." (email conversation of brethren and I)

Ice LP 1979, produced by Riot Squad & Dennis Bovell & Patrick Cann.
The Best Of British Reggae rocks more to the skank whereas Jamaican reggae is more drum and bass orientated. Besides the hit Silly Games by Janet Kay there are plenty more lovely warm tunes out of cold rainy Britain on this album such as Riot Squad's Cheater and Errol Dunkley's Little Way Different. The reworkings of Fly Your Natty Dread and Loving Pauper are nice, but the originals are much better.
