CHECK What the pros are saying about Haile Unlikely . . . .
* "This band from Strong Island is THE HARDEST WORKING BAND in the reggae business. "(KING NUKLA is)"...my favorite favorite favorite tune... the most important reggae tune ever written. " "The original Hamptons Rastas - Make sure you see this band whenever they come around. " Every ganja smoking surfer in the Hamptons LOVES this tune called BIG DREAMS, SMALL REALITY" "One of my favourite reggae bands...sounds like Lee Scratch Perry produced by P.Diddy", Every Thursday morning at WBAI NUFF people call in and BAWL fe DIS one called Big Dreams Small Reality - One GREAT tune!"
- Lister Hewan-Lowe, legendary reggae producer and North Americas' longest-running reggae DJ - WUSB-FM Long Island and WBAI-FM in New York City
With 30+ years on the air, Lister Hewan Lowe is the LONGEST RUNNING REGGAE DJ in all of North America, and the winner of Specialty Music Director Of The Year at The second annual CMJ College Radio Awards held Nov 2006!
* "I just dropped some of the tracks on the show yesterday, I opened the show with Big Dreams, Small Reality (which is an awesome track) and then I finished the show with King Nukla (and get this, I dropped the track and Rummy resigned....maybe I need to play this one every week till they all are gone from office). I want to say respect for the musicianship evident on this release and please continue to send us new material so we can continue to share the music with our fans in California, but also the world with our net stream. Give thanks and I confess frankly and haile, as James Taylor sings (you gotta fan)

-Edward Burke, AKA DJ Sterling of "Zion Planet", WWPV 88.7FM, Colchester, Vermont.

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
Hello brothers, to honour you and your great work we dedicated a brandnew track to you, titled "Haile Unlikely"! Enjoy that creepy little track, all the best from Cologne/Krautrock-City nuff respect and blessings
