'roots, rock, remixed' is the first and only bob marley and the wailers remix album approved by the marley family and estate. the album features remixes from jimpster, fort knox five, king kooba, dj spooky, yes king and trio electrico (gotan project / boozoo bajou) to name a few. the whole idea of remixing has its roots in jamaican music so it makes total sense that marley would finally get a good remix treatment. for the most part, the remixers treat the tracks with great respect, adding a danceable thump or some stoney dub in just the right places. 'duppy conqueror' sounds like a pop hit with a great sing-along chorus. 'sun is shining' is a fantastic slice of downtempo dub. 'soul shakedown party' and 'soul rebel' are great fun for the dance floor as well. a few tracks go further than just tasteful modernizing. jimpster's '400 years' is a particular favourite, a dubbed out tech house makeover so hypnotic you will keep hitting repeat.
