Label: Germaican
Artist: Various
Title: Messer Banzani Riddim
Avail: March 2005
Distr: Soundquake Records

Rating: [XXXXXXXXXX]

Listening to the riddim for the first time there are certain elements that remind of "Oh Carolina" on a swingbeat, a feeling you just can´t get rid of. It´s also somehow a bit questionable if this riddim is still dancehall or even reggae of any kind, but no matter what it´s meant to be - it will work within the dancehall. Voiced on that catchy melody re-modelled by Germaican Chief-Engineer Pionear are no other than Cobra, Sizzla, Capleton, Gregory Isaacs, Ill Inspecta & Bobby Buster, Vybz Kartel, Liquid, Admiral Tibett, 4th St. Sista and as the only german representative - Dr. Ring Ding. All tunes rank on a high level, so it´s really just up to your daily mood which tune to favour.

Résumé: Catchy tune for the dancehall. Nothing you´d maybe want to play all day at home..

Tracklist:

• Admiral Tibett - If I love you and you love me
• Liquid - Get the party started
• Capleton - Step 2 the fire
• Dr Ring Ding - Dancehallfieber (Wer kennt die Frau)
• Gregory Isaacs - Margeret
• 4th St. Sista - Can you feel it
• Mad Cobra - Gangster role
• Ill Inspecta & Bobby Buster - All a di gal dem
• Sizzla - It`s approptiate
• Vybz Kartel - If u man nah sow no seed
• Messer Banzani - Version

Produced & arranged by Messer Banzani for Topp Ent./ Germaican Rec.
Executive producer: Pionear for Topp Ent./ Germaican Rec.
Mixed by Tom & Nachtigal for Topp Ent./ Germaican Rec.
Mastered by Busy for True Busyness Prod./ Germaican Rec.
