Product description

Burning Spear's "Resistance," released in January 1985, is a seminal work in the roots reggae genre, showcasing the artist's profound lyrical depth and musical mastery. This album, produced under the Burning Music label, features a blend of reggae, dub, rocksteady, and ragga, creating a rich and diverse sonic landscape. Recorded at the iconic Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, and with additional horn recordings at Aquarius Studios, the album benefits from a top-tier production process that elevates each track.

"Resistance" spans 40 minutes and includes 11 tracks, each offering a unique perspective on social and spiritual themes. Standout songs like "Mek We Yadd" and "Jah Feeling" feature stunning horn arrangements that add layers of complexity and richness to the music. The album's cover art, designed in Canada, complements the music with its striking visuals, making it a complete artistic experience.

Burning Spear's powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics are at the forefront, addressing themes of resistance, spirituality, and community. Songs like "Holy Foundation" and "The Force" underscore the artist's commitment to delivering messages of hope and resilience. The album's reissue in 1999 on Musidisc further cemented its place in reggae history, making it a timeless classic that continues to inspire and captivate fans worldwide. Whether you're a longtime fan of Burning Spear or new to his music, "Resistance" offers a compelling journey through the heart of reggae music.

Spear's Commercial Shift
4 out of 5 stars
JnBapoeJuly 27, 2024United States🇺🇸
RESISTANCE marks the point where Burning Spear's music took a more commercial turn, while still retaining its militant and ominous undertones, albeit toned down. The album features livelier arrangements, a noticeable horn section, some electronic drum beats, and a stronger rock element, especially in the closing track, "Love To You". The sound quality of this pressing is decent, not as bass-driven as typical roots reggae, and it has that characteristic 80's gloss. My copy is in excellent condition visually but has a bit of surface noise when played.
