@SulivanCourt you're right... didn't listen to enough of him to judge him, but I loved the psychiatrist thing.... then imagine the surprise after seeing this !

Peace man :)!

@SubzeroedMind I was put off by pum pum too man, BUT TODAY I LISTENED NON STOP TO DOZENS OF TRACKS by "The Psychiatrist", all amazing and original in their own right. Within an ocean of genius, beautiful madness, original sounds "The Toaster" may come up with something like pum pum but IMHO it doesn't affect the least the immensity of his talent, and that should really go without saying but ... well, nothing else to add about "The Madman". "The Scratch" is the Man, the I-Man to be precise. Irie

I'm writing a creative dissertation on the origins of the reggae/punk symbiosis in London, 1976 - the year of the Notting Hill riots. This tune is the first track of it's soundtrack....

@PhillyPhunk You obviously do.

[PhillyPhunk]

@SubzeroedMind Youre speaking about the greatest producer to come out of Jamaica. On top of it the man virtually invented a genre of music. Who the fuck are you and why should anyone give a shit about your opinions ?
