King Tide
Vitamin
ROOTS Pop Reggae is King Tide's third CD and its most accomplished blend of rock steady beats, pop, soul, electronica and ska. King Tide is the final mutation of the heady acid rock of the early 1990s when D.I.G. (Directions in Groove), Swoop, Caligula, Def X and Skunkhour defied the prevailing grunge and Oz rock four-on-the-floor template to venture forth with bold, individualistic blends of infectious melody, electronica and funk-soul. It ruled Sydney inner-city dance clubs for three or four years, then subsided. Main men are MC-singer Tony Hughes, from late 90s funk-dance outfit Bellydance, and toaster Paul Snatch, previously with hip-hop outfit Large Rabbit and pop band Radio Freedom. The two vocalists enjoy the backing of a nine-piece ensemble that pours peerless musicianship into sublime grooves. Players include gun drummers Terepai Richmond and Declan Kelly, guitarist Ross Fotheringham, a four-piece brass section and keyboardist Robbie Woolf, who steps up to the microphone for one of the album's standout tracks, the high, sweet soul lament Anyone Could Tell. It evokes the glistening sorrow of Smokey Robinson's falsetto. Mostly, though, Roots Pop Reggae is infectious melody welded to sinuous rock-steady dance rhythms. Atomised is Hughes's melodic account of how the soul of music is passed through generations. Keep on Lovin' is traditional roots reggae embodying the optimistic message that love can yet save the world. Sun Machine uses programmed beats as a platform for an adventurous simulation of the stimulation of summer days. Chemical is a Paul Snatch rave-up that looks for and finds reggae's DNA in disco nursery rhymes. Beggars Waltz is soul contemporised with electronic brass flourishes. Rockers Roots takes Hughes back to his childhood in Britain, awed and floored by Millie Small's pop-reggae smash My Boy Lollipop. From Reg Mombassa's vivid cover art to the frolicking music inside, Roots Pop Reggae is a rarity: dance music that leaves messages in one's ears, one being to check the gig guide to see when King Tide is next playing live.
