about

[Length: 4:59 Tempo: 72/144bpm Key: D dorian ] “Three in One” is a brilliant combination of Scratch’s American jazz and soul influences with the pure feel good reggae vibes made famous by Scratch for transporting you straight to sunny Jamaica. Subatomic Sound upped the energy of the music flipping it from a classic one drop to a steppers beat half way through the song. Screechy Dan kills the main vocals with a Curtis Mayfield style falsetto inviting the listener to “lick the chalice” and hailing up ancient “African knowledge” while following that up with classic Jamaican chatting verses summoning the vibes of Jazzbo or U-Roy as a tip of the hat to the fact that Scratch was the first to ever record chatting on a song. Omar delivers almost Miles Davis style trumpet solos that blend American jazz with a pinch of Nuyorican Fania salsa. Scratch does his own chats on the spiritual tip and drops some sweet melodies of his own closing it out with “Jesus Christ return to paradise” suggesting the need for spirituality to return to Jamaica and set things right in the wake of dancehall raggamuffin gangster culture. Chatting over dubs at sound system parties was the precursor to what would later become rap music in the Bronx.
