From full-page review by Adam Budofsky
of "Exodus" by Bob Marley and

Wailers

Drummer magazine, March 2003, page

"Theres a point in 'Natural
Mystic,' the lead-off track of Exodus, where
we
hear an almost sub-sonic bass drum note
accent (on the 1, of course). It's a
subtle
touch, no doubt, but an effective one, and a telling one......The
band's
smash American crossover, Exodus
features several classic cuts.....each of
which
is brijmming with invention, soul, and big, open sonic spaces.
Drummer
Carlton Barrett's beats are some of the
most profound ever recorded.
Steady,
playful, dramatic, teasing.
Carly's licks of course cannot be separated
from
the rest of the instruments here....Still,
close inspection of Barrett's kit
playing is
research worthy of a college
degree...."
