Album Reviews
Worlds Music:
This is arguably the greatest reggae album ever made. The mistic
and melodic vocals of Vaughn Benjamin is simply a genius at play. after
listening to songs like "the eyes are the light" or "dont move(lion
dread)", you will understand the dept of knowledge, overstanding,genius, passion, love
and soul that midnite brings with this incrediable album and whats even more impressive is
hearing them live and listening to there cd is indistguishable. - More
Reggae Source:
From the uprising St. Croix-based quintet Midnite comes Unpolished,
a rare debut album. Beginning with "Bushman," a mesmerizing, one-away tune, the
set's 10 tracks captivate with hypnotic Afrocentric incantations, chants and jams. Though the
press notes liken the band's sound to Lucky Dube, another more subtle comparison describes
their musical identity and spiritual foundation as well. - More
Inside World:
Midnite is a reggae music quintet that originates from the Virgin
Islands. Musically, Midnite incorporates traditional reggae beats and grooves
in the typical staccato fashion. However, Midnite's strongest talents are
evidenced lyrically. Unpolished includes songs that deal with important
topics, such as politics, violence, spirituality, greed and hope in times of utter despair. - More
Reggae Reviews:
Once again, wow. If you thought that Ras Mek Peace and Jubilees
of Zion were flukes, check out Unpolished. It is every bit the
equal of these other works. Although it was released widely to the public on the
Rastafaria label in 2001, it is actually Midnite's debut album (and one of
the few that is fairly widely available). At the risk of sounding repetitive, once again
everything hits on all cylinders here: vocals, lyrics, music, everything. - More
