It's also one of their more rootsy and serious affairs, with a more pronounced Rasta vibe than many of their poppier LPs.\n\u003cbr\u003eThere are still the usual Third World R\u0026amp;B influences, as on the opening \"One Cold Boogie,\" \"Cold Sweat\"--not the James Brown tune--and the almost discoish \"Now That We've Found Love\" (think of Philadelphia International's Gamble and Huff productions remixed by Lee \"Scratch\" Perry). But, from the aptly titled \"Cool Meditation\" to the fiery title track, the emphasis is more on serious declarations of religious and social pride. JOURNEY TO ADDIS is a thoughtful but never over-serious roots reggae gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1999-07-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Reggae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49260083183858,"sku":"XBV2TR-AD1V-D5","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/third-world-journey-to-addis_gJa8R.jpg?v=1779722689","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/journey-to-addis","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
