Agreed! A lot of 8bit reggae is hard to listen to cause the sound design and instrumentation sounds so generic. I gotta go back to metrodub and find some gems, but I remember skipping through releases and many sounded super generic as far as sound/synthesis. One of my fav chip reggae traks is by ???. The song is called machine gum. It's impossible for me to find cause his name messes with search results. He changed his name actually but I don't remember what he changed it to.
Gave that Japanese reggae album a listen recently and although the music was good, the vocals were terribly mixed (too loud in the mix, and very dry)and that made it a bit unpleasant for me.
I've been meaning to make some reggae for quite some time. I plan on doing a release in the future. I think it's awesome that 8-bit reggae has it's own scene, and a book! Wow! Can't wait to see the scene grow.
