In Good Company
About This Album
No rhythm section in history has impacted across the world's music scene as has Sly & Robbie. Their innovative playing style, studio experimentation, and pure production genius has propelled music to a whole new level, and their influence remains undiminished both in their homeland and abroad. In fact, it's virtually impossible to imagine modern music without them. Attempting to encapsulate their career on one disc defies logic, yet Ultimate Collection: In Good Company does not belie its series' title and can indeed be considered the ultimate collection. With excellent sleeve notes by Brian Chin, expert sequencing, and a keen attention to detail, this compilation presents the Riddim Twins in all their glory. Across 17 songs, the album brings to light the breadth of their accomplishments on both sides of the recording desk, all fired by the duo's unmistakable rhythms. And it's this very distinctiveness, even as Dunbar deserted his drum kit for syndrums and then synths, that skyrocketed the pair to superstardom. Already heroes at home, it was their work with Black Uhuru in the late '70s that brought them international acclaim. The pair estimated their rhythms have fired over 200,000 tracks, not including dubs or remixes, providing the fulcrum for songs across the musical spectrum, while their productions, too, brought them into contact with an ever-expanding segment of the international scene.
