YARD FLAC FORCE
Techniques In Dub has been culled from Meditation Dub an album that has
never been given the exposure or accolades that are due for its raw pure
undiluted musical attack. The producer Winston Riley has always stood firm
about who gets his music to release but as he says himself:
I m not a hard man to deal with. I just want pay for my work. That s why I
always have my things them. You see to put so much work into a thing and to
just give it away don t make sense. Through you’re not called this man or
that man people just want to take your things but if I give you something
then you have to come with something
Pressure Sounds are pleased no delighted to announce that they have now
come up with something to enable them to release this essential set
Winston Riley was born in 1946 in Kingston Jamaica and grew up in Western
Kingston. It s true he s not a hard man to deal with and he s been in the
reggae business since its inception in the early sixties and not in any
casual supporting role either. He s been there seen that done this and
sold you the T-shirt and souvenir programme; he s had to be uncompromising
to make it this far. As one of the legendary Techniques vocal group
alongside Slim Smith Franklyn White & Frederick Waite (the man behind
Musical Youth) they started singing together at Kingston Senior School and
Chocomo Lawn Youth Club in 1962 and cut a swathe through the nascent
Kingston musical scene when Stranger Cole introduced them to Duke Reid in
1965. No stranger to hard work Winston had trained as a male nurse before
embarking on his singing career and as he puts it it was a question of
work and sing work and sing and their very first release Little Did You
Know in the ska style was a big hit. However the advent of rock steady
allowed them togive full vent to their incredible vocal power (remember this
was the time for singers to really show what they were capable of) and the
Techniques soon became the rock steady vocal group on the rock steady label:
Duke Reid s Treasure Isle. Hit followed hit and each member would take turns
singing lead while the others provided harmonies for the front man. Slim
left to form the Uniques in 1968 and the Techniques continued first with Pat
Kelly and Jackie Parris and over the years Bruce Ruffin Jimmy Riley Dave
Barker Tyrone Evans & Morvin Brooks
In 1969 Winston borrowed some money from his mother and along with his
brother Buster set up the Techniques label. He decided let me just try a
thing and first of all I mentioned it to the guys and everybody refused
He was both producer and arranger for the group and he felt that there were
not enough rewards coming his way for this important work. His first two
productions Come Back Darling from Johnny Osbourne and Who You Gonna Run
To from the Techniques themselves were considerable hits both in Jamaica
and the U.K. and the die was cast with Winston not only producing the
records but also singing them too as The Shades The Sensations and of
course The Techniques we used to call ourselves different names. What
happened next shocked everybody and even Winston admits that he was
surprised by the success of Double Barrel from Dave Barker and Ansel
Collins in 1970. It came from U Roy! U Roy used to make a lot of hits and I
said to myself what could I do to make something just try a thing. As a
producer you try things sometimes and it doesn t really work but you must
try to create something . Dave Barker s deejay style was more like a
Yankee but it struck a chord (or even a few million chords) with the U.K
record buying public and it went straight to Number One in the U.K. National
Charts — the first Jamaican deejay record to do so. Furthermore lightning
struck twice and the follow up Monkey Spanner also proved to be a
crossover hit for as Winston says as long as you have an idea!
On the subsequent tour of the U.K. & Europe Winston was singer arranger
manager — everybody! and he used this success to build a solid enduring
body of work that has lasted until this day. He opened his Techniques Record
Shop in Chancery Lane Kingston (also known as Idlers Rest) in 1972 and
while he wasn t present in the shop at all times it was a way of keeping in
touch. I get ideas for myself how to really deal with music how to
create how people react to what is really selling. It help a part of the
business but sometimes you hear some rubbish too a whole heap of rubbish
You can’t win them all. He has recently opened a brand new state of the
art premises in Orange Street (1993) and is currently completing work on his
own studio which he hopes will be open later this year
The music that s been released on the Techniques and associated labels
throughout the seventies eighties and nineties has led the way while others
followed and it has always stood for quality at the cutting edge of Jamaican
music. As roots music moved into the ascendancy in the seventies a selection
of anthems of truths and rights appeared on Winston’s labels that have
subsequently become acknowleged classics of the genre
Largely responsible too for helping to usher in the dance hall era in the
early eighties Winston released General Echo s (as Ranking Slackness)
Slackest L.P.’ and both Echo s style and lyrical content were immediately
hi-jacked by the rest of the reggae world. And the hits just kept on coming
Boops from Supercat started another phenomenal rush of copycat records a
new album from the Techniques in 1982 Never Fall In Love plus two
tastefully packaged compilations of oldies from the Techniques Classics
Volumes One & Two just in case we forgot where the man was coming from an
early album from Sanchez and a complete grasp and understanding of the
current digital style computer driven rhythms but that’s another story!
Although most of the rhythm tracks date from the early seventies Meditation
Dub was first released in the latter half of the decade and it was
masterminded by Winston himself what I feel and put together. Dub is just
music and a riff and how you feel. From the time it have a proper riff and a
proper groove you move! The way you feel is the way you respond to it. I
love good music and a good phrase and I like to work with creative
musicians Dwight Pickney — a great guitarist Jackie Mittoo Steely Sly
Robbie Roland Alphonso Boris Gardiner Chinna Ranchie Ansel Collins
Tommy McCook Bobby Ellis & Drumbago the list is endless
Mixed at Channel One and Dynamic by Winston and Soljie Hamilton it stands
today nearly twenty years on as a defining statement in the development of
dub music here with the addition of extra tracks and cuts to add more weight
(if any was needed) to the original package. It s a heady mix ranging from
the classy soul influenced Go Find Yourself A Fool to an electrifying cut
of Purify Your Heart . Each track stands on its own merits as a testament
to the innate musicianship and dedication of Winston Riley
One of the last great dub albums to be given an official nineties re-release
perhaps this time round it will gain the recognition that has eluded it up
until now
