Dizzy Cat Traditional Roots Reggae sounds with a hint of Jazz. A nice upbeat mix for paradoxically horizontal moments. Alvin Davis shines throughout and a solid mix from Alien Dread again. Favorite track: Stand Firm.

about

Dreadland represents the culmination of two years studio work, where the tracks evolved and were re-engineered to utilise a fresh studio set-up in late 2020. The album eventually came together in Summer 2021, with final production work completed in January 2022.

All of the pieces were inspired by traditional Jamaican Roots Reggae and skillfully produced by Andrew Passey (Alien Dread) with assistance from ISR (long time co-producer). The other players involved were Asha B, who has worked with AD for several years in the percussion department and Steven "Marley" Wright, who supplied guitar rhythm and licks.

Alvin is a talented multi-instrumentalist; specialising in saxophone, flute & trumpet.

He has worked with the studio since 2015 and has contributed to various projects, now available on CD and vinyl (full catalogue online).

In Alvin's own words, "Musically, my roots are firmly in R&B and Reggae. I grew up listening to Stevie Wonder, Earth - Wind & Fire, Grover Washington Jr. and Ronnie Laws. These days you'll find me listening to Jill Scott, D'Angelo and other neo-soul and Reggae artists."

Many thanks to :- Cold Clarity Imaging for support, and our other worldwide colleagues, especially: Annette Cambridge & Phillip Whittaker (Gadd59 Music) for promotion work and special thanks to Leon Leiffer and The Blackstones.
