I've had this on cassette for the longest time and finally added the CD to my permanent collection. Gato Negro (Emmanuel Okoronta) released this twelve track set back in 1991 off the ROIR label. It's the first Gato Negro release and I consider it the best. He's got a unique perspective on the dub style and mixes in bits of melodica with his clean bass and fantastic affects. My favorite tracks on this one are #4 (Mask), #7 (Lamentations of a Caged Bird), and #9 (Reggae for Lumumba). You really need to listen to the disc straight through to fully appreciate the Gato's effort. Great driving music.5/3/08
