Thank you. To be quite honest, I've had a roommate once who loved reggae and ska, and even though I don't know the names of the songs nor the artists, I kinda like the entire vibe of it. Not that I'd want to listen to it all day though, but a bit of it in a day's listening makes my day a bit brighter, if that even makes sense.
I might have been guilty of wrongfully associating ska with reggae though, and to be fair, I couldn't even distinguish one from the other.
The best way I can describe it is that reggae is a walking beat, rocksteady is a jogging beat, and ska is a running beat.
(I like pineapple on pizza and ska)
Whoa! Dude, lol! Now I kinda want to hear reggae sped up to a ska-like BPM, and ska slowed down to a relaxing reggae-like BPM.
Listen to "Overcome (the Recapitulation)" by RX Bandits, may scratch that itch.
Wow, this is real good! Thanks for the recommend!
One of my favourite bands back in the day. They had an amazing evolution from a generic ska band to a prog type act over their fifteen year odd career.
