GREAT REGGAE CD!
Wow! This tasty reggae CD is the best Aswad title available with soaring vocals and a good remastered 32 year old recording. I rate this as good as the first New World CD which is exceptional. In fact I usually play Aswad after New World. It has sophisticated arrangements with melodic songs. As a bonus there's some dub. Get this CD if you want a tasty reggae treat.

Awesome Aswad
I found the song Ethiopian Rhapsody to be a unique treasure to the music industry, there is no other song like it. Even after 25 years their music lives on, fantastic album if you like reggae it should be in your collection.

Aswawesome!
Probably one of the best and most underrated Reggae albums of all time! This could pass for a Marley album to the casual listener. It's that good!

Do you like Rude SUNSPLASHING...
Aswad is a great. I really reccommend this and they're other cd to consume, they are all awesome.

great debut
Aswad will probably be best known for the crossover hit "Don't Turn Around," which was later covered by the Sweedish juggernaut Ace of Base. To me, this is a shame, as the group made a few very credible examples of UK influenced roots reggae before their crossover to more soul/funk based grooves.From 1976, Aswad's debut lp is a great slice of the roots reggae of which I speak. Each track on here, particularly "Ethiopian Rhapsody," and "Back to Africa," which is arguably their best track ever, is a powerful one, and helps to solidify this great lp.While in my opinion, their "Hulet" lp is a more desirable one to listen to, there is little doubt that Aswad's debut lp is a very credible effort, and one worth having amongst your UK reggae collection.
