Studio One Scorchers highlights the strength of Studio One's
instrumentals. Surprisingly, instrumentals were chosen fifth in
Soul Jazz's Studio One series. The foundation and hard selling
point of all of Studio One's hits have been the pure strength of
their instrumentals. DJ's and singers were able to rock their
melodies over top of the gifted instrumentals and make themselves
stars. Studio One Scorchers shifts the spotlight onto those who
provided the basis for all of the success. Of these 19 tracks, none
passes by without note. Many tracks provided hits for reggae stars
20 years after they were originally released, and have come to be
associated with twelve-inch singles far removed from their roots at
Studio One. The pure quality of the tracks makes it easy for
musicians to revisit and shape versions of them. In the liner notes
to this collection, these tracks are claimed to have been selected
from a possible 915 instrumentals that were, for the most part,
equal to the ones that made it onto the album. The sheer volume of
output from Studio One is astonishing, combined with the fact that
the quality of the recordings never seem to diminish. These
instrumentals touch on ska, rocksteady, dub, and begin to hint at
the reggae sound of the late '70s. Each instrumental is perfect and
has the feel that it could hardly be improved upon. Soul Jazz has
once again put together a wonderfully rounded collection of music
from Studio One. These purely instrumental tracks have a sound that
is entirely complete and lack nothing that a singer or DJ could
offer. ~ Matt Whalley
