nah I haven't. I've heard about 4 of them. I don't like to power house through any band for too long, or I get tired. that's what makes T61 so great for people like me! I'll be going through your stuff piece by piece :D

Dawn gives me shivers down my spine and tears in my eyes, if there's any chance you could let me know what the lyrics mean it would me much appreciated :D

Yeah, I'm seeing that now (hearing it) as I get to listen to even more and more of your songs. But Manana definitely has the reggae feel. I give up trying to label though, I've found that my favorite music I never can really label anyway.

You don't need vast playlists filled with 500odd songs in as much different musical styles, if there's Zuba! It's the one-has-it-all-thing. And dreams are best in vivid technicolor ;-)

Thanks for the notice, but I almost did miss it since I was reading Jacob's interview in Maxbumps. I was listening to Zuba though, so the song came on without me knowing it. and I thought, it's so beautiful, I looked to see which song it was and it was brand new! haha Thank you.

I am sooo glad I found you guys. I am slowly working through the songs you have loaded, and so far I am just utterly and completely blown away. I have to agree with JamminJeep. Best Reggae ever. Of course, my first taste was Manana, then I hear more and realize there's so much more to your style, you can't be pigeon-holed in any one genre, I think. Unless it's World Music. Whatever it is, it's perfection and I love it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
