Messengers, the label run by the band Message, presents a new single; Words of My Mouth, a rootikal vocal cut by Roberto “Lone Ark” Sánchez, the well known Spanish engineer/producer, musician and singer as well as drummer of the band. The flip side showcases a tuff dub, reminiscent of the best Channel One years, called Meditation Of My Dub. Roberto sings his song using a third over his own lead vocal following the duo-art of singing created by groups such as Earth & Stone. For his lyrics he uses part of Psalm 19. This Psalm (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David) talks about the Glory of God displayed through His Creation and His Word. This rockers riddim brings in mind the best Revolutionaries riddims from the 70’s: from the wah guitar by Jah Riddim to the tuff bass line and raw drum pattern of Mr. Bassie and Lone Ark, and the clavinet and bubble of Bass Lee and Junior G, everything sounds as it should. The riddim was previously released on Messengers label with a trombone instrumental by Junior G called Winds Of Change and followed by its dub. Same way it was part of the second studio album of Message band, Showcase Vol.II. This new vocal cut, Words of My Mouth, will be also part of the forthcoming Roberto “Lone Ark” Sánchez vocal album with Message that will be soon released.
This single is the forth 7 inch release from the band and starts a series of collaborations with different singers that will see the light on their own label. The single, as well as the previous material released on Messengers label, have been produced by Message themselves and recorded and mixed by Roberto Sánchez at his A-Lone Ark Muzik Studio. Everything recorded live and on reel to reel tapes, and mixed in the old school way, analogically, for the pleasure of all roots lovers in all terms.
