About This Album
Following up the amazing double-disc Artists compilation, Rhythm & Sound unleashed on a rather unsuspecting record-buying public a series of 7" records with Jamaican reggae legends Willie Williams, Sugar Minott and various Berlin-based MCs. This disc collects the vocal versions of these sessions. See Mi Yah is essentially one long 46-minute song composition, with each MC taking a turn on the microphone for a few minutes, with Rhythm & Sound figureheads Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus varying the hypnotic, super-minimal arrangements from artist to artist. The results cast a spell and leave an imprint, as remnants of minor-chord stabs and driving kick-drums remain in the air long after the disc has ceased playing. Simply essential for any dub or reggae fan, and a landmark moment in a career already filled with them. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
