Maroon Town – Maroon Town is one of the lesser known live releases from the reggae ska band Maroon Town that has gotten overlooked for a long time. The release has that upbeat uplifting powerful reggae vibe and sound to it which includes positive motivational songs to party themes about having fun. The sounds are similar to the sound they had on their first album as well. The sound is pretty animated and live.
The 3 songs that were included on this release were performed live at the Seville Expo '92 hosted at the Andalusian Pavilions on the Lake of Spain which is located in the city of Seville, Spain. That is why you can hear some dinner ambiance among other noise in the background.
Maroon Town – Maroon Town is a self-titled release from the reggae ska band Maroon Town that was released at concerts only in 1992. This release was only issued on cassette single. There is no CD or vinyl edition of this Maroon Town release that has been issued by the band or their labels.
Average Man is the first song of 3 songs on this cassette and is a Maroon Town classic. The song incorporates and interpolates Johnny Clarke - None Shall Escape The Judgement and Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - Egyptian Reggae in the riddim.
Average Man is a song those in the low class and middle class can relate to. The average person can relate to this song. We work 5 out of 7 days a week just about every single month. The average person does the best they can. They go to work everyday. They save up their pay for the future. Complicated circumstances often occur. Headaches and heartaches can make or break people.
A list of priorities you got to get right. That is what people must do and understand. Life is based on making decisions. You know the score and price to get the things you want out of life.
Fix The Future is an uplifting positive song how we as humans can improve ourselves to become better in life. Maroon Town tells we need to learn and grow as we proceed to move forward in life. Fix The Future is also about how we as humans can fix our future so the planet Earth can be a better place for all life forms to inhabit. The song gives us a ray of hope for personal freedom and political freedom. This is one of their positive motivational songs. This song is the second song out of 3 songs.
Gather round there's a story in the making. Doors are unlocking chains are breaking. Fixing the future may seem like the impossible dream but it’s not. If you work together and put aside our differences then we can become better as people. We can improve our lives this way. We know our faults and it’s time to make the repairs. It's only the beginning of a flowing stream in a moment of triumph the walls came down. To fix the future, we need to stay on the right track. Maroon Town says optimism is life.
The lyrics expose the hidden agenda people have when it comes to choosing not to fix their problems and others. People choose to be stubborn and do things their own ways most of the time. “Wherever you go people they are stating/The right to know end of dictating/To take what is rightfully theirs”
These lyrics explain to us that we were never meant to be held back or held down by political oppressions from the system (government).
Fix the future now
State of shock and a state of emergency
Surely that's how it wasn't meant to be
Being held down in our own territory
Bound to cause a major catastrophy
In the life of the majority controlled by a power
That stepping out totally
Yes it's dead and gone
Put the people up where they belong
Fix the future, stay on the track
Pack your things no looking back
Every Little Step is the third and final song on this cassette. The song includes an upbeat reggae rhythm about dancing and having fun. Ralph Lamb plays a mean but funky trumpet on the song. The song follows a dance beat which is actually a ska beat.
Don't you ever underestimate the band that's rocking the beat! Every little step and move they make is never going to be fake. They are here rocking it straight grooving it straight down the line. It's time to celebrate. Tomorrow will be too late. Find the perfect mix and get the perfect blend to the music. The band wants you to dance and have a good time.
Now is the time. So there is no need for hesitation. Go forth and reach your destination. Step in the right direction. It's now and it won't wait.
I rate this single 5/5*****!!
