21st Century Dub [out of print ROIR release, 1CD]
JAPANESE REGGAE AND THE PECKER MIXES
Japanese reggae is reggae music originating from Japan. The first reggae band to perform in Japan was The Pioneers who toured in 1975. However it was not until 1979, when Jamaican singer Bob Marley visited Japan on holiday that reggae would gain momentum. Marley wanted to attend a concert by the Flower Travellin Band and when looking for information, he met famed Japanese percussionist “Pecker” who informed him that the group had already disbanded. The two became good friends, and Pecker suggested to Marley a collaboration between acclaimed Japanese and Jamaican artists. This suggestion resulted in the albums Pecker Power, and Instant Rasta being recorded in Jamaica at “Channel One” and “Tuff Gong Studio” in 1980. The albums featured Japanese artists Minako Yoshida (吉田美奈子?), Ryuuichi Sakamoto (坂本龍一?), Naoya Matsuoka (松岡直也?), Shigeharu Mukai (向井滋春?), and Akira Sakata (坂田明?), alongside Jamaican artists Augustus Pablo, Sly & Robbie, The Wailers, Rico Rodriguez, Carlton Barrett and Marcia Griffiths. These two albums influenced both Japanese and Jamaican artists, and are regarded as spreading reggae to Japan. - Wikipedia (click here)
At the All Music Guide, Steven McDonald wrote: “This is a combination rerelease of Pecker Power and Instant Rasta, two albums recorded by Japanese percussionist Pecker in conjunction with Jamaican musicians. It’s an interesting effort, combining a certain Jamaican rawness with a sophisticated Japanese surface, and it certainly comes equipped with the reggae muscle to kick it along - Sly & Robbie on the one hand, and the Wailers band on the other, and both Channel One and Tuff Gong studios (if only they’d managed Federal as well, but that might have meant the Dragonaires as a backing band).”
