Messian DreadMessian Dread - Your Favorite Gospels (4 Track Dub 'n' Discomix EP 2007) (December 1, 2006)

Although the theme and lyrics of this Four Track EP are rather serious, as the titles suggest there is a healthy dose of humor too. You could say, here we have an example of Serious Spiritual Satire.

The music is up-tempo (186 BPM!), yet contains the relaxed atmosphere that typifies the Reggae Rhythm even in realms that reach the sound barriers. A riddim clearly inspired by early 1980's Black Uhuru material: especially a track called "Darkness" come to mind.

Four mixes: two completely different dubs and two discomixes with the full lyrics, each with their own particular flavor in the mix. Some have an occasional jingle in the mix.

LYRICS

For the sake of His Name
JAH JAH people beware
So you won't cry in vain
When the trouble is there

Don't you build on the sand
Better build on the Rock
So when storm hits the land
You will stand up dreadlock

Don't you work with the mystery
Let JAH work fruit on you
Don't you call it a ministry
When money's working for you

I don't see the apostles
Work your industry way
Where your favorite gospels
Say what you have to say

People dig through the lies
It's not JAH Who they serve
They are working for satan
He's the god that they serve

So take heed to this warning
Cause the time is so dread
When you can't stand this calling
You just got to be dead
