Pama Intl meet Mad Professor new album out today

In all good record outlets from today... 1st Nov'10:

PAMA INTL MEET MAD PROFESSOR - REWIRED! IN DUB (on Rockers Revolt RRHIT13)
A total reconstruction of Pama Intl's critically acclaimed Outernational album (****Mojo, “ An album of substance” Q, "seamless merging of old & new" Echoes) by the legendary Dub specialist - MAD PROFESSOR.

From the early 1980's Mad Professor has furthered dub music like no other. Producing, remixing, collaborating and releasing 1000's of reggae titles, including; Lee Perry, U Roy, Mikey Dread, Sly & Robbie, Horace Andy, Max Romeo, The Orb, Beats International, Sade, Depeche Mode, Jamiroqui, Rancid, KLF, Beastie Boys and many more. In the mid Nineties, Mad Professor’s profile increased to global status after remixing Massive Attack. The resulting album 'No Protection' went onto sell over 1 million copies.

Since 2001 Pama Intl have been brewing a unique blend of 60's soul, 70's reggae with a 21st century commentary. In 2006 they became the first new band to sign to the legendaryTrojan Records in 30 years. The collective's line up has included members from The Specials, Madness, Steel Pulse, Galliano, Lee Perry Band, PWEI, Steel Pulse, Style Council, Bentley Rhythm Ace, The Selecter and collaborations with Dennis Alcapone, Dave & Ansel Collins, Billy Bragg, Groove Corp, Mungos Hi Fi, Michie One, Rico Rodriguez, Derrick Morgan and Dawn Penn.

NOW Pama Intl meet Mad Professor... in a dub extravaganza... transcending the generations!

Welcome

For those of you who don't know me... I play keyboards in Pama Intl and have been playing in ska bands since I was a kid... starting with 'The Loafers', then 'Special Beat' (with Ranking Roger-The Beat, Neville, Brad, Horace and Lynval-all from The Specials and Finny-now in Pama Intl with me) and the shortlived 'Skanga'

I've run labels since I was 17 including; Staccato Records (home to The Loafers, Maroon Town & more), Jamdown Records (home to releases from; Pama Intl, Stubborn All-stars, 4ft Fingers, Laurel Aitken, Bim Skala Bim, Capone & The Bullets & more) and now Rockers Revolt
