Product Description
An Unlikely Rasta, Pierpoljak was Born Near Paris. After a Misspent Childhood Hanging Out with the Wrong Crowd He Discovered Punk Music and Skinhead Reggae which Gave Him the Urge to Move to London and Immerse Himself with the Local Jamaican Crowd with Its Music Scene and Sound-systems. This Most Recent Album Continues in the Same Vein of Performing Good Reggae but Keeping the Spirit of the Elders, this is a Modern Sounding Item but One Does Not have to Go Too Far to Locate What Influences Him.

One of the best Juliette!.......2000-07-02

After buying this CD at Sam's Record for CAD13.00, I do listen regularly. I heard this CD first time at Santa Clara Libarary at the bay area, CA. Well, 3 full CDs seems to be a little long for me, though I knew which arias are my favorite. well, now, I do have a highlight, I donot have to program to skip the boring part for me. Best arias for me are "O nuit divine...", "Va!, Je t'ai pardonne..","Dieu!...", "A toi, ma ..". They are very beautiful. In a way, pretty different feeling from Verdi Arias. In terms of Jewel song, you can hear better version by Hei-kyung hong(by RCA victor) or Sumi Jo(by Erato). I don't think you can expect good coloratura from Angela. However, her voice has a beautiful drama. I do recommend to buy this CD if you like voice with drama and nice tone.

Victoire de la Musique winner 2001 for reggae(+) in France.......2001-07-27

The Music Victory Awards in France are a bit of a joke production-wise, but that does not mean that this is not an excellent album! People who know reggae will recognize many of the musicians on the album: Clive Hunt, Strickland Stone, Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace and Earl Chinna Smith. This CD is an excellent follow up to Pierpoljak's earlier album Kingston Karma; and is simply the best reggae in French I have ever heard. While the lead singer is not quite at the same level as Marley, Winston Rodney or Peter Tosh -- he IS very very good.

This album seems to be focused primariy on the Parisian-born Pierpoljak's sense of alienation from the European life style. The track that has received the most airplay (in France) is "Maman" which is an homage to his Mom (Ma reine et mon roi, à la fwa...). What I particularly like about Pierpoljak is that he expresses a bit of skepticism about both Rasta and non-Rasta living: "Pas de culture pour m'accrocher / Blanc c'est diable et noir c'est Dieu / J'suis pas convaincu, j'm'avoue pas vaincu / Sectes et gourous hors de ma vue." (from Dépareillé)

It's not easy being Blanc and Ital, I read him as saying. (It should be noted that he claims to be the proud new owner of a BMW and a true 'cultivateur moderne' à la fwa...)

In short, this is a very professionally produced follow-up album to Kingston Karma that is definetly worth the price. (I am reserving the rating of five for what I believe to be absolute masterpieces, this album is just excellent.)

Happy listening.
