Review

Mojo (Publisher) (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "One of the first reggae albums to utilize digital rhythms, it combined Sly and Robbie's experimental backing with the group's trademark Rastafarian roots stance."

Title Note

Black Uhuru: Duckie Simpson, Michael Rose, Puma Jones.

Additional personnel: Darryl Thompson, Willie Lindo (guitar); Dean Fraser (saxophone); David Madden, Chico Chin (trumpet); Nambo Robinson (trombone); Franklyn "Bubbler" Waul, Wally Badarou (keyboards); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Sly Dunbar (drums); Sky Juice (percussion).

Producers: Black Uhuru, Steven Stanley, Paul "Groucho" Smykle.

Recorded at Dynamic Sound Studios, Kingston, Jamaica and Compass Point Studios, Nassau.

ANTHEM came at the peak of Black Uhuru's career. Michael Rose was still its lead vocalist and the group was involved with Mango/Island Records, giving it significant clout. ANTHEM provides the classic Black Uhuru sound from start to finish, with a very flowing, unified feel among the tracks.

"What is Life?" starts the album off with an electrified feel, with Rose at his vocal best. "Solidarity" and "Botanical Roots" provide a similarly powerful vibe, and the album reaches its apex on the reggae classic "Black Uhuru Anthem" ("I and I are the living dread, / This is the dawn of the living dead"). Robbie Shakespeare's slow, driving bassline and Rose's carefully controlled vocals make this track's title utterly appropriate--it exemplifies all that is Black Uhuru. The album's closing track, "Elements," provides a similar feel with a more contemplative, philosophical tone.
