From what I can gather, │ │the movie focuses on Giancarlo Esposito as an │ │American reporter who gets involved with a │ │dancehall woman (Jasmine Guy!) in Jamaica. │ │While not sounding quite as bad as the │ │Jamaican voodoo plot of Steven Seagal's Marked │ │For Death, I think I'll pass. The soundtrack, │ │however, does have some nice elements. Of │ │course, dancehall is the dominant sound on │ │Kla$h, with Garnett Silk's high-energy │ │"Complaint" being the strongest of that style. │ │Even Steel Pulse contributes a │ │dancehall-rhythmed track in "I Spy," but its │ │catchy up-tempo melody remains consistent with │ │the band's earlier, more rootsy hits. A │ │couple of hip-hop tunes are decent │ │-- "First Blood" by Prince Midas and │ │Brian & Tony Gold, a sultry R&B/hip-hop │ │dancehall number, and "Nastee" by Born │ │Jamericans and K.O. Boys, which would be │ │infinitely better without the latter's weak │ │rapping. "Luv 2 Luv U" by Jasmine Guy herself │ │meanwhile is a horribly out of place │ │pop/R&B/dance stinker that brings any momentum │ │this album may have built to a screeching halt. │ │Why do I get the sense that it was in Guy's │ │contract that she would do the movie if she could │ │also have a song on the soundtrack? A couple │ │of more mellow, rootsy tracks that help buoy │ │Kla$h: Lorna Bennett's classic "Breakfast in │ │Bed" and Loose Caboose's version of the │ │Mikey Bennett-penned "Monday Morning Blues," │ │which is possibly superior to that Bunny Ruggs │ │version that Bennet produced for his Grafton │ │4x4 album. Despite this, mediocrity reigns │ │on this album, with sub-par efforts from Shaggy, │ │Chaka Demus & Pliers, Snow, and Cobra. │ │Bounty Killer and Ninjaman meanwhile │ │contribute low-quality live performances │ │that an only marginally be described as songs, │ │as they are comprised largely of crowd-prodding │ │rambling interspersed with occassional music. │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Tracklisting [ 56:56 min / 78,4 Mbs ] │ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │01 ??? - Talking 00:15 │ │02 Shaggy - Watch Your Speech 04:11 │ │03 ??? - Talking 00:10 │ │04 Steel Pulse - Spy 04:03 │ │05 Bounti Killa - Down In De Ghetto (Live) 02:23 │ │06 Cobra - Sex Therapist 04:45 │ │07 ??? - Talking 00:04 │ │08 Terror Fabulous - Gun Stupid 03:35 │ │09 ??? - Talking 00:04 │ │10 Prince Midas & Brian & Tony Gold - First Blood 04:12 │ │11 ??? - Talking 00:05 │ │12 Jasmine Guy - Luv 2 Luv U 04:58 │ │13 ??? - Talking 00:07 │ │14 Chaka Demus & Pliers - Sweetie 04:01 │ │15 ??? - Talking 00:04 │ │16 Born Jamericans & K.O.
