Review

Alternative Press (8/94, p.80) - "...Terror is pure raggamuffin, yet his sweet, but rough, toasting/singing and melodies have equal roots in gospel and early `60s harmonies, while the rhythms and sound are largely based on dub..."
Option (11-12/94, p.149) - "...[YAGA YAGA] manages to continually satisfy without giving way to the traditional crossover inclinations of stateside distribution....Terror Fabulous' vocal style...rides tensely wound ragamuffin grooves that give few nods to commerciality..."
Urban Latino (10/94, p.53) - "...[Terror Fabulous] has shown with YAGA YAGA that he can go the distance, be as patient as his delivery and true to his original dancehall roots for an entire album..."
NME (Magazine) (8/27/94, p.37) - 9 - Excellent Plus - "...Terror Fabulous is nothing short of Goat Vindaloo and `Yaga Yaga' is your main curry course. State of the art..."

Title Note

Personnel: Terror Fabulous, Nadine Sutherland, Wayne Wonder, Daddy Screw (vocals); Dave Kelly (keyboards, bass, drums); Paul Crosdale (keyboards, bass); Donald Dennis (keyboards); Brian Gold, Tony Gold (background vocals); Maxi Priest, Gary Minott.

Recorded at Penthouse Studio, Kingston, Jamaica.

In 1994, Terror Fabulous' "Action" was everywhere. You couldn't turn on a radio without hearing the super-catchy chorus and the interplay between Terror's gritty dancehall chat and Nadine Sutherland's sublimely breathy vocals. The big question was whether YAGA YAGA could live up to that single. Snow, Inner Circle, and Dawn Penn had all scored big crossover reggae hits only to follow them with uninspired albums. Yet Terror's truly fabulous full-length bucked the trend and became a lofty peak in the history of dancehall albums.

The obvious hits ("Number 2," "Gangster's Anthem," "Miss Goody Goody") are balanced with equally catchy filler, making for a totally satisfying release. Terror buoys monotone chatting and beat-heavy but minimal rhythm tracks with melodic hooks. He mainly calls on the help of sweet-voiced friends-Sutherland, Maxi Priest, Wayne Wonder, and Gary Minott-but sings an occasional melody himself (like the sadly chilling "Too Bad," its hook pirated from The Slickers' "Johnny Too Bad"). Unfortunately, Terror was never able to follow up this great record. The tough dancehall world eats its biggest stars as quickly as it produces them. Terror quickly faded from the scene, but the near-perfection of YAGA YAGA will always assure him a place on record shelves.
