A la premiere ecoute, je l ai trouvė un peu mou. Mais il a un gout de reviens-y qui finit par nous faire comprendre que c est puissant. Pour moi, il est donc dans le top 20 des raegge roots.

Israel Vibration are three crippled lads (victims as babies of the late-50s polio epidemic in Jamaica) who grew up together in a Kingston residential rehabilitation centre. Kicked out into the streets of Kingston for being Rastafarians, they spent five years singing for food on the streets. From being destitute on the streets of Kingston then, to the ecstatic energy of "Walk The Streets Of Glory" - "We gonna walk the streets of glory", they sing, exploiting the potential of roots harmonising to the full. The album is worth buying for this song alone, but there is lots more. The beautifully melodic "Why Worry", for example, the groups debut single, offers an alternative to the health-destroying materialism of our age: "I scratch my nuts and then I say: why worry? why worry, when you can pray?" The uplifting quality of the group's music is also strongly present in the beautiful "Lift Up Your Conscience" and the harmonies again are stunning. "The Same Song" is a unique album, with three very distinctive voices combining beautifully to create a very special sound.
