Comment : In Fine Style’ is the second album of Augustus Pablo’s material to be released on Pressure Sounds. It’s a unique set of material in that much of it has never before been released on CD and much of it was only ever available on rare 7” and 12” vinyl.
Not only are the records on this set beautiful music, they are the product of love, humanity and an exceptional devotion to a higher force. Its powerful music in the best sense of the word.
“We play music by feeling it. We call it the Far East sound. Cause we play in minor chords. When you play those chords its like a story without words” Augustus Pablo.
Unlike many of his contemporaries Pablo was able to understand and fully explore the possibilities of the 12” mix. It perfectly suited his instrumental jazz-like approach to reggae music. The full melodic range of his work was brought to the fore. Gathered on this compilation are some of the best examples of Pablo’s 12 “ explorations. Tracks such as 'Phillips Showcase’ and ‘Pablo In Fine Style’ are not limited by the 7” format.
