In Reggae terminology „Showcase“ is a style of arranging tracks on an album (songs followed by dubs). The “New Hurricane Protection” follows this idea by mixing vocal songs of three non-reggae albums (
Massive Attack: Protection / 1994,
Gil Scott Heron: I´m new here / 2010,
Grace Jones:Hurricane / 2008) with the versions of their dub albums (
Massive Attack v
Mad Professor: No Protection / 1995,
Gil Scott Heron &
Jamie XX: We´re new here / 2011,
Grace Jones and
Ivor Guest: Hurricane Deluxe / 2011).
Like that? Then go and buy the complete albums, they will entertain you for a long time, trust me.
