Jonny Greenwood Is the Controller


Recommended Posts

I just spent a few minutes searching for a thread that I swear I saw recently where someone mentioned this album, basically wondering what it was. It looks like it's a collection of reggae tunes from the Trojan Records vaults, chosen by Johnny Greenwood (yes, that Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead fame and fortune). You can find some more info here:

2. Let Me Down Easy - Derrick Harriott

3. I'm Still in Love [12" Mix] - Marcia Aitken

4. Never Be Ungrateful [12" Mix] - Gregory Isaacs

5. Bionic Rats - Lee "Scratch" Perry

From what I've listened too so far it's a solid, if slightly downtempo, set of reggae - good stuff!
