It features Lynval Golding & Horace Panter (The Specials) and is again being co-produced by Sean Flowerdew and John Collins (producer of The Specials iconic Ghost Town). It picks up where "Love Filled..." left off with Pama's unique blend of 60s soul/70s reggae & 21st social commentary, but takes some darker twists and dub turns along the way. Billed as "The Heavyweight Dub Sounds of Now" ...
