Augustus Pablo "East Of The River Nile" LP

• Shanachie vinyl edition
• Instrumental reggae and dub
• Melodica and keyboards by Augustus Pablo

Augustus Pablo builds East of the River Nile around melodica and keyboards, carrying the melodies over Jamaican rhythm tracks without a lead singer. The album moves between instrumental reggae and dub, allowing repeated phrases, bass lines and studio space to do much of the expressive work. The title piece is central to that approach, joining the distinctive breathy sound of his melodica to the rhythmic foundation beneath it. This is the Shanachie LP edition.
