Review:  Jamaican music timeline (aka family tree) 221 piece puzzle housed in color printed box, includes a bonus J-ROOTS poster, WE DO THE SKA VOL3 CD sampler and AKASHA grey 7 inch single. Incredibly detailed history presented in a stimulating illustration by Trunkfish.net.

Review: Flying Vipers come through here with their first full length album Cuttings which is steeped in reverence for original Jamaican engineers of the 70s who were masters of their vast mixing consoles. Here the Vipers master steady drum & bass rhythms that are detailed with jazz melodies and a gritty post-punk attitude. The record builds on the success of The Green & Copper Tape EPs with extra horns, wild effects and vintage synths all making it a contemporary affair. All 12 tracks will get you in a meditative state where you can take some deserving time to reflect and sinking into your own mindful thoughts.
