Irie Time is generous with the creativity. Categorically, this one would fall safely into the dub category. But if you listen closely, you can hear a lot of things going on here. Tinges of guitar psychedelia, blues, jazz, funk, retro rock, calypso - versatility is the word of the day for Irie Time. This is the band's sixth outing, so it's obviously doing something right. One listen to the CD will show you what. The increasing longevity of this independent act speaks well for its acceptance in the music community. The audience is obvioulsy there. And why shouldn't it be? With its reggae-infused hybrid of styles, these dubmasters are ensured an avid audience for as long as the membership wishes to continue with the endeavor. Evocative vocals, delicious grooves, engaging guitar work, creativity, originality - really, all the right elements are here for success. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
