*GUEST REVIEW*
As this band's moniker makes clear, theirs is an "unplugged"-leaning sound. While drums and bass fulfill their usual
foundational role (though in a more hushed manner), most of the songs are shaped around acoustic guitars. Add lead and harmony vocals that are low-key and a smattering of Nyabinghi drumming and small percussion, and you have reggae music that's intimate and unpretentious like an impromptu session inna yard that someone just happened to record. What saves it from sounding too off-the-cuff is that these guys show humble, genuine expertise in crafting their reggae. Much of the album is introspective in nature ("Imagination," "Reflection," "Eternal Vibration"), fitting warmly with the prevailing mellow glow punctuated by touches like the use of a melodica here and there. Greet With Fire is a tasty respite from the fiery militancy of much roots reggae. Even when an electronic beat is combined with the dominant acoustic texture on the concluding "Scary Dub Train," there's a restraint that makes it work. I'd like to hear the band try out a few faster tempos and more extended arrangements, but the approach they've got going on here is quite a good one.
