Best Seven Selections 2
In autumn 2003 the Best Seven Selections (SBCD0005) finally came out; a compilation made up of the nicest tracks from the Best Seven catalogue including exclusive tracks. The compilation quickly won the hearts and minds of many listeners. Amazing that only now, three years later a follow up Volume 2 is coming, after the success of the 2003 compilation. And this time again some beautiful Soulreggae tunes are in the center of the happening – mainly from artists out of the Best Seven crew or even personal friends of label boss DANIEL W. BEST.One of the highlights in the groove track Take It Slow from Nürnbergs downbeat heroes BOOZOO BAYOU (with the incomparable JOE DUKIE from FAT FREDDYS DROP on the microphone), the dubby No Memory Of Time by EVA BE (in a „Reggae Version“, also with vocals by JOE DUKIE), or The Answer by THE BLACK SEEDS, which with its addictive mantra „Don’t be so cold…!“ certainly provides the compilations lyrical highlight. Besides FAT FREDDY’S DROP, THE BLACK SEEDS also count as superstars of the New Zealand reggae scene – an EP with four titles from their third album Into The Dojo will also come out on Best Seven (SB7018).Another highlight of the compilation is a brand new and exclusive track by EXTENDED SPIRIT (STEFAN LEISERING and AXEL REINEMER, 1/3 of JAZZANOVA). Their track Sista Riddim features the FAT FREDDYS HORNS and will only appear on the finished version of this compilation.Further contributions come from, among others, MELASSE, CAT RAT) or DJOSOS KROST.So DANIEL W. BEST has once again managed to put together a most wholesome collection which perhaps even surpasses the previous compilation in terms of intensity. It only remains to hope that we don’t have to wait another 3 year for Vol. 3…
