For over 40 years, Ras Midas's visionary and poignant messages of Love, Prosperity, Revolution, Prophecy, and Wisdom serve as concrete observation of past, present, and future. King's Music that is adored and cherished across the four corners of Creation. Certainly mystical, his broad catalog of message music is prophecy revealing and as pertinent today as when first recorded...
Ras Midas's consistency through the decades flows like a mighty river. From his debut, COVER ME (1974) to RAIN AND FIRE (1979) to the Grammy considered CONFIRMATION (2000) and his recent FIRE UP (2010), this humble Rastaman continually creates music with a sense of purpose delivered from the Highest regions.
The treasure you're holding is RASTAMAN IN EXILE. This is not a reissue but a new presentation and extension of this dynamic album. Originally released in 1980, this landmark album is important on many levels. Yes, it was heralded Reggae Album Of The Year (France, 1980). It includes Trop Longtemps Dans Le Vent, the first Reggae song delivered in French from a Jamaican Roots artiste, and is his best-selling album to date. Its absolute importance is because it fits into today's history and truly suits the times. Prophecy revealing? Yes, indeed!
The content on RASTAMAN IN EXILE perfectly describes today's turmoil and world cry. Songs like Rat And Cat World Power, Burning Revelation, and Plague And Armageddon are as relevant today as when first recorded. The earnestness of Lean On Jah injects hope to a hungry massive. Ras Midas explained "the cosmic laws of nature manifest the light into levity." The title track pertains to all people seeking a new living and seeking human rights. This situation is happening right now!
This Roots album has been expertly remixed, remastered, and re-realized to full effect. There is new crispness in the atmosphere while retaining the jazzy feel of the original. The timeless Let The People Go and Natty Dread Surprise are tracks not heard on the original, both remixed by Mabruku Extendedzz. Veteran engineer Dave Plummer (Cypress Recording Studio, Jacksonville Beach, Florida) remixed and remastered this masterpiece. The legendary Sylvan Morris (Harry J's Recording Studio, Kingston, Jamaica) was the original recording and mixing engineer, and he overdubbed this Roots affair. Ras Midas and Sylvan Morris started working together in the early 70s, and their Royal link and deep friendship continues today.
RASTAMAN IN EXILE is considered one of the most powerful albums in Reggae history. Put this musical disc into heavy stereo and let the Royal message flow. These are Zion sounds that will be embraced by true music lovers globally. Whether you're familiar with this wise man's message or hearing Ras Midas's sounds for the very first time, this is an album to be cherished from the first note to the very last drop.
