Achis' Reggae Blog: The Vault Reviews: . To date, by design, it has very much been my attention to focus back on albums from Vaughn Benjamin and Midnite which either weren't necessarily the most popular of their catalog or, as was the case of . While I certainly do not feel that the 'Reggae media' has been very kind to the group, you're still very likely to find much written and much discussed about particular albums that they've done, while others, despite being relatively well known in some cases (such as . Today, however, we blend things a bit and take a look at an album which, although rather surprisingly, didn't elicit a great deal of media coverage, was and remains extremely popular to Midnite fans of all stages and has, musically, aged very well, .
Back in 2. 00. 6, Vaughn Benjamin began a working relationship with one John Juaquin Wilson of a label by the name of Fifth Son Records. The first fruit of that union would be the . I'll have to get to that set one day as well because it perfectly fits into what we've been doing as of late.
It was a popular album amongst Midnite fans, but didn't have much of a further reach. It was also a damn good album and well worth checking out if you haven't.

The most noteworthy aspect of this release was that it was the BIGGEST album that Midnite had ever done. I do not mean that it was the best, you can draw your own conclusions on that, but this was literally the biggest album with the name . Checking in at twenty- four tracks, spread across two discs, . You'll never hear me question the passion of Vaughn Benjamin who, seemingly, donates every single piece of free time he has to writing these wonderful songs, but this album was just as much about the enthusiasm of Wilson and company. Along with being a joint release with Fifth Son and Lion Tribe (which, I think, is Wilson's band and . In 2. 01. 1 FSR would release a dubbed out version of the album which would also be fairly popular.
And they continued just last year with oft- discussed . So, this album, although not the start of it all, very much showed that Fifth Son Records had big plans - plans which have played out incredibly well and you could very well look back at this album as the beginning of a next level of detail (although respect does go to . Of course there is its size, but the most fascinating aspect of it is merely a 'side- effect' of how wonderfully large it is.
Generally speaking, Vaughn Benjamin's music can require quite a bit of work on the part of the listener. He is one of an unfortunately tiny group of artists who almost always, in my opinion, challenge their audience to bring something to the proverbial table in terms of what they are aware of and if you aren't educated on certain other things, he will fill you in, but you're definitely going to have an INVOLVED time in listening to his music. For someone like me, that's GREAT and . I've also gone up and down and back and forth in my appreciation of its quality, but I am damn happy to say that these days I probably hold it in as high esteem as I ever have and for good reason. Let's discuss! Disc 1. As a whole, I would say that the first twelve selections of Midnite's .
The second half is definitely not far behind and does have its moments (on in particular), but the first is just slightly better in my opinion. The biggest example of this, DEFINITELY, is its opener and the record's title song which is absolutely magical! The message is amazing and presented in such a beautiful fashion, but that riddim is also so HEAVY and GORGEOUS . Where I am today with it is in seeing it as a praising tune which seems the obvious choice, but you listen to this song and its many directions and it is not as clear, at least not to me (and, for the millionth time - I'm no genius), as it might otherwise seem to be. It is a signature from this album as well and one of its biggest and most thrilling moments.
Speaking of thrilling, although on a much slower scale, check the next song on . Here is another song where the prevailing statement, is not as obvious as it seems to be. Here, despite the tune's title - is a social commentary. What he says is that there is a significant lack of PERCEIVED inspiration in the world, especially for the youth, but His Majesty has placed inspiration everywhere ?
THE VIBES TRAVEL INTO ANY HOUSE WHICH ACCEPT THE VIBES. Because of its sound, 'King of Kings' does well call for some intense level of attention- paying and it is well worth it, ultimately and wrapping up the first half of disc one (yes, that's how we're doing this one today) is a similarly interesting, and entirely productive, effort - 'Mass Appeal'.
Here, he seems to, in a predictably brilliant style, outline who, exactly, he makes music for and who he does not. The single most powerful portion here is when he says, . One of which is 'Whirl- A- Fya' (biggup Ahfyah), a tune on which Vaughn Benjamin and Fifth Son Records turn things over to three others, Bluff, Heads and, of course, Jah Rubal (who was also on . There's also 'Herd' which is probably my least favourite composition here, but is a sign of this album's quality, because it is still very good.
And there is 'Make Up Dub' which, puzzlingly (OOPS!), is a dub of a song on the second disc! All three of those tracks are strong, but pale in comparison the SCATHING trio which conclude the first disc of .
The best of those three, to my opinion, is the second - the MASSIVE 'Playbak'. Although not on THAT level, the song, because of its almost curious straightforwardness is somewhat reminiscent of the infamous 'The Gad', with its streaming lyrics and somewhere just outside of the song's second half, Benjamin hit's a level of full- on linguistic perfection on the relatively short track.
Both are selections here which exemplify what I mean when I say the journey to comprehension of . There wouldn't have been very much to complain about, but when you take that and then combine it with the finest material from the second batch (biggup Ras Batch) of songs, then you have something truly special at that point.
One of the standouts in the next group also gets us started, the very organic 'Spruce'. I've taken a lot from this song through the years and today where I am with it is at the point of seeing it as a form of a WELCOME!
What Vaughn Benjamin is saying is to WELCOME His Majesty into your life. Part of the track is hearing water running and, obviously, it was intended to make it sound more natural, which is a very fitting 'bed' in which to lay such a song. It features the chanter, in a VERY relaxed manner just going through what stays heavy in his mind. You could take this one further (and you know I do) and use as, perhaps, the script of how he manages to write songs like he does and if that is the case, then more of us need to follow his example. And then there is the DAZZLING 'Hunger & Thirst'. I also really enjoy the full sound of this tune as well and I wasn't the only one as the riddim is left to play well after the vocals have finished.
The praising 'Feel Like Praise' and the afore- dubbed 'Make Up' appear here as well and are fine efforts (the latter is a great, great song), but I have to focus on a song on the first half of the second disc of . This song on spin #5. I heard underneath was about as mighty of a tune giving praise that I've heard in recent times.
Benjamin speaks to the consistency and the longevity of His Imperial Majesty and it is a humbling experience of a song. And, if I didn't stress it enough, you should check 'Make Up' - it's excellent. First is 'No Evil' which completely features a female artist by the name of Omo Lioness. I THINK I've heard one other tune of hers and I do not really know what happened to her from this tune (at least I don't think I do). It isn't my favourite song here and it is very straight forward, but she did have some skill which was worth seeing through.
Jah Rubal obviously couldn't get enough (and I don't think he ever will, although I do think it has been awhile since last we've heard from Rubal) and he returns to this 'ground', with his own tune, 'Survival', which is slightly better, as a whole, than 'Whirl- A- Fya'. Rubal is someone who is somewhere between Ancient King and Vaughn Benjamin in terms of his style and he is very interesting to watch in his almost frenzied approach - here was no exception (great riddim on 'Survival').
Disc two also returns the favour to the first and gives us the 'Adonis Dub' - the dub of a song on the first group, 'Adon- I'. This is excellent and, as the previously alluded to . There is an 'acappella' version of the title track which completes the album. There is music present on the track, however (it's more of a streamlined version than an actual acappella), and it is GOLDEN! There're dub albums and a live set and others which have similar distinctions, but it was also EXCEPTIONAL. Typically with double albums what I'll say is that if you were to narrow it down to x- amount of songs, you'd have a better release and while you could make a similar case here, I don't think that I really would.
I think that in its completed form, . And, like I did in the case of . I didn't go into it to a great detail, but the music, throughout, is very accessible for a Midnite album and although it is huge, I'd suggest it for fans of all levels of experience with the music. For the more seasoned of listeners, however, .
I'm still working on it and will be for the foreseeable future and I am not complaining at all as it is easily one of the finest albums in one of the most storied of catalogs in Reggae music history. Fantastic! Rated: 4.
