Midnight scorchers

"... Horace Andy devotees, dub-heads, and reggae fans already familiar with the power of the original version will want to seek this out immediately, and bask in the vivid and uncontainable counterpoint it offers to one of the more significant reggae albums of the 2020s".

"Often, "companion albums" are pale imitations of the initial cut, or they feel like they're done more out of a sense of obligation, or to just milk the fans. That is NOT the case here. Midnight Scorchers is one of the rare LPs that takes the lightning out of the bottle, blasts it around the room, and then puts it back in another bottle".

"If April's slick 'Midnight Rocker' album was a post-Studio One career high for reggae legend Horace Andy, then this dubbed-up companion LP even takes it up a notch. Here, On-U head honcho and producer Adrian Sherwood flexes his considerable mixing-desk skills ... Best of all are retooled cuts of perennial dancehall anthems 'Fever' ('Feverish') and 'My Guiding Star' ('Dub Guidance' - with fluid chatter from veteran Jamaican deejay Lone Ranger), now transmogrified into heavy-weight rub-a-dub-style groovers made specifically to be played out on sound-systems. Loudly".
