Bob Marley - Babylon By Bus (rem.)
Rezension
Bob Marley & The Wailers.
Auf “Exodus” folgte 1978 “Kaya”, aufgenommen nachdem er knapp einem Mordanschlag entgangen war (jemand war in seine Küche eingedrungen und schoß zwei mal auf den Reggae-Heroen). Das Album ist eine Hommage an Marihuana, das heilige (und recht wirkungsvolle) Kraut und eine Kollektion von sehr soften Ganja-Meditationen. Praktisch der Zustand, der den Ungeübten ereilt, wenn er an so einer Tüte zieht.Das Album wurde von den original Analog-Tapes mit 24 Bit digital remastered. Das Packaging enthält das Originalcover und dazu alle Texte und zusätzliche Fotos.Der Bonustrack ist “Smile Jamaica“ und erschien nur in England als B-Seite.

Review
Kaya (1978) followed Marleyþs return from exile after the assassination attempt. Far more mellow and meditative than the bandþs previous effort, Exodus, Kaya saw Bob Marley in a different mood: a collection of love songs and, of course, homages to the power of ganja.
Kaya, a collection of love songs and an homage to the powers of ganja, was released to coincide with Bob Marley and The Wailersþ first world tour as well as the 1978 One Love Peace concert. Kaya was lending itself a more commercial, less driven sound than found on previous releases, to pave the way for future albums like Survival.
As Bob put it, "Kaya means herb. Itþs a password some of the brethren use in JA. So Kaya is really dealing with togetherness and humanity and peace, (because) the thing of peace travel through the earth now. Yes, Rastaman Vibrations and Exodus were þarder. This time we dealing with something softer."
The CD has been 24 bit digitally remastered from the original analog master tapes and packaging has been upgraded to include complete original album graphics as well as complete lyrics and photos.
The reissue bonus track is the "Smile Jamaica" version originally the 1978 b-side of the British single "Satisfy My Soul."
