I love this label. Their compilations are always full of surprises and make you wonder what direction they’ll take next. All hail Two-Piers! #twopiers #compilations two-piers.bandcamp.com

Wailing Souls - At Channel One: 7’s, 12’s and Versions (Pressure Sounds, 2004) 🔈🔈🔈 The sight of a crumbling shell that once housed Channel One studio on Maxfield Avenue, Kingston JA is a reminder of a great studio. The sound gave brilliant space in between the instruments - forward into Dancehall.
