AMG EXPERT REVIEW: This is one of the more satisfying
Augustus Pablo albums, for several reasons. For one thing —
and this must be said — his sound is remarkably, er,
consistent, even by reggae standards. Most of his records
are completely instrumental, and all tend to focus on his
melodica playing; while all of his albums reward any
attention you pay to them, their more natural effect is
soothing, not to say soporific. Not that there's anything
wrong with that, but that general tendency in Pablo's solo
work just makes Earth's Rightful Ruler stand out that much
more from the rest. It opens with the title track, which
features an unidentified singer (who sounds a lot like Hugh
Mundell, but don't quote me) and a great, rootsy groove.
Typical instrumentals follow, but there's some nice chatting
on "Rastafari Liveth" and on "Java," the album's high point,
which also features haunting background vocals and some very
nice interplay between guitarist Earl "Chinna" Smith and
Pablo's melodica. — Rick Anderson
enjoy!!!
