V.A - 100% British Ska

El 2 tone fue muy importante en Inglaterra durante los 80. Grupos como los Specials o los Madness alcanzaron una fama enorme, llegando a tener discos entre los mas vendidos del pais durante semanas. Incluso Rowan Aitkinson, desde su programa de Skeches, Not the nine o´clock news se animo a hacer una cancion de lo que por aquel entonces era el ritmo de moda



Sin embargo, se conocen muy pocos grupos de 2 tone ingles mas alla de los de Coventry (Specials, Selecter, Swinging Cats..) y los de Londres (Madness, Bodysnatchers, Bad Manners..)
Otras bandas como The Tigers, The Birmingham, The Pharoahs o Ska city rockers, aunque gozaron de cierta fama en su dia, hoy se encuentran bastante olvidadas, siendo muy, muy dificil encontrar temas de ellas en internet. Precisamente, este recopilatorio trae temas de las bandas anteriores y de otras muchas, menos conocidas, ofreciendonos un repaso de la seccion mas "underground" del 2 tone britanico. ¡Que lo disfruteis!

State Of The Union - Rebelation

Buen disco con mezcla de ritmos entre el Ska/Reggae con algún que otro toque de Roots,solo tiene un pequeño fallo desde mi punto de vista,y es la gran duración de la mayoria de sus canciones que hace que se haga un poco pesado,por el resto es un disco muy recomendable.

Derrick Morgan - Blazing Fire

Cuando Derrick Morgan grabo su "housewife choice" producida por Leslie Kong, Prince buster se quejo, puesto que segun él, la cancion iba a ser cantada por el mismo, pero Kong prefirio a Derrick. Mas tarde, Cecil saco su famoso "Blackhead chinaman" donde se reia de Derrick Morgan por sus ojos achinados. Derrick respondio con la cancion que da titulo a este disco, "Blazing Fire" . Este pique entre titanes seguiria con temas como "Watch it chinaman" de Prince Buster o "Be still" de Derrick Morgan. Tal era la popularidad de ambos que se grupos de fans de ambos llegaron a protagonizar peleas en bares
