There will be no more Flac files, shared by me (Reb) here on Vibes (updated Oct 17th)

 

Ok I have been thinking about a lot of the last week, being a bit under the weather!!! If I posted flac, in the past I kept a copy to re post it, if it was requested (as I did earlier this week) . 

So as space is getting tight once again. If you want a re up of something I posted as Flac, sorry you're only going to get a 320 version from now on Oct 17th. The flac copies I have once posted it, I will convert to 320 and keep that. I do this already but keep the flac copy as well, but just won't have the room in the future to keep the flac and 320 copies and as 320 files are small make sense to keep the 320 rather than the flac. 

The cost of external HD's is sky high at the moment, so I am sorry but something has to give!!

I have been trying to sort my flac, reggae and soul albums/comps which I kept and I just will keep these now and everything else will be deleted once posted as flac and then converted to 320. 

So as of today October 17th 2026 no more flac files from me. I will only be posting 320 or lower bit rate mp3 files. 

The choice of 320 or Flac has been down to the poster, and this will remain the same, but there will be no more flac from me, sorry.

And 320 is good enough!!

Jah Shaka - Commandments of Dub 05  - Jah Dub Creator (1985) (Flac)

Players of instruments hailed as Shaka All Stars in the Jamaican tradition with studio groups like Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors at Studio One or Aggrovators and Revoulutionaries at Channel One comprising a similar group of musicians with maybe a few differences in the line up. For this album it's back to Ariwa studio and Mad Professor to let go at the controls and deliver a mix of effected rhythm and sound.

👽Material 👽 One Down 1982 (1992 CD Reissue) Flac 👽

American experimental punk-jazz-funk-noise-electro band, founded circa 1978/79 by bassist Bill Laswell and keyboard player Michael Beinhorn.

Material was not only a band name, but an alias for the intensive production work of the duo (for Afrika Bambaataa, Herbie Hancock, Nona Hendryx ...).

Michael Beinhorn left the 'band' in 1985. In the 90s, Material became more world/indian/afro/ambient/dub-oriented.

The first set to feature Shaka`s newly named band The Fasimbas, though the musicians comprise of those used on previous albums. The album is starker in production, again leaning more on the meditative side and with drum and bass to the fore.

👽 10 Ft Ganja Plant 👽 Skycatcher 2013 320 👽

10 Foot Ganja Plant (also stylized as 10 Ft. Ganja Plant) is a roots/dub Reggae group primarily based in upstate New York that is a spinoff collective of the popular group John Brown's Body, and is spearheaded by former JBB dub engineer Craig Welsch. The group lineup does not consist of the entire JBB lineup, often employing the assistance of many special guest artists.

One of the main keys to 10 Ft. Ganja Plant's legacy is their consistent shroud of mystery, considering that, for the most part, fans are baffled as to whom the unfamiliar guest artists are in particular as there are often no personnel credits featured on any of their albums. Their key vocalists, however, were Ras Jay Champany and former JBB lead singer Kevin Kinsella. While their music today has a wide range of styles, most of their music often has a more traditional vintage '70s Jamaican sound to it.

10 Ft. Ganja Plant has released six albums to date: Presents, Hillside Airstrip, Midnight Landing, Bass Chalice, Bush Rock, and 10 Deadly Shots, Vol. 1. In 2007, Presents was remastered and reissued by ROIR with two bonus tracks previously released strictly on 45 RPM single (one from 2000 during the same sessions as Presents and one from 2003) on their homebase label, I-Town Records, founded by Kevin Kinsella.

Elevator - A Taste Of Complete Perspective (2000) 320

Elevator clearly sees the connection between the soil and supernovae - I could almost smell the dope on this disc before the cellophane came off. Using the theme of nature throughout the album ("Driftwood," "The Animals," "My Library In The Weeds"), the band explores its meaning from the cosmic heights of freaked-out jamming. Most of the album must have been recorded live-off-the-floor, as the arrangements are impossible to follow. For fans of Syd Barrett, Hawkwind and Holy Modal Rounders.

Jah Shaka - Commandments Of Dub 03

 - Lion's Share Of Dub @320

This might be the best of the Commandments series, more by virtue of some of the most interesting rhythms to be produced at the time, the use of synthesizer and electric drum adding flavour to the heaving mix of bass and drum, keyboards and percussion held down by a more sublime, meditative mix.
