Respect to Bulby York because all that seemed so pressing before simply fades away under the master blast of these wisely paired collaborations and structurally complex productions.
Therefore, before we proceed, it is crucial we disclose this album requires an advisory label. Warnings, warning, warning, do not press play until you secure the premises. Clear your agenda. Abandon your shyness. Check the fire extinguisher. Now get ready for Bulby York to remind you that music is life. Remaining astonished by the level of creativity and talent, we recommend Bulby York receive an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies. It is time we honour the origin of cultural knowledge and ingenuity. He is an exceptional musician, producer, and sound engineer, Dr. Bulby York.
A doctor prolongs life and culture. And throughout the years, as well as with Master Blaster, and his previous success, Epic &Ting, Bulby York is entitled to the highest respect and positive reception for his participation and contribution to music and life. This current album is an amazingly addictive and positive body of work. And it is produced by a man keenly aware of the revival sound in art and culture. His work penetrates the hardened surface of mankind, the distant and isolated spaces of societies where restlessness dwells. Relatively youthful, but, embedded within Bulby York is a wise and knowledge man that can foster engagement and connectivity, to liven up the self and the collective, to cease petty wars, and proclaim peace treaties. Remember what one dance can do?
With this high level of art and cultural intelligence, Bulby York orchestrates sounds that capture the listeners sonically and physically. As in “Lots of Signs,” featuring Christopher Martin and Beenie Man, the rhythmic invasion comes from multiple angles and echelons of sound design. This is demonstrative of an exceptional active listener as Bulby York who can access, detect, and create rhythms that liberates the listener from the confines of self censorship and social conditioning. From the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America to North America and European spaces, we unite, park the stress and the fuss and move because with Dr. Collin “Bulby” York everything is okay. ©
