Easy Star All-Stars - Time

The whole album is a masterpiece, although I guess Dub/Reggae might be already venturing into EMD territory.

Have to agree. I have often thought that this track would be awesome way to open an early morning set at a Doof.

That cover is totally fucking amazing.

I might even like it more than the original, because she is so fucking emotional.
