Tempo Riddim Confession

[StepDubStep]

Even the baddest mixes bore me to death. Can't be bothered to check any more clips. Like Kryptonite for my ears.

[ephteeay]

not a big fan of digital... but always loved Tempo! especially the original cut .. so thats my confession. Always hated Sleng Teng though

[Well Charge]

Don't like it much either. I was excited the first two or three times i heard it, but it leaves me unsatisfied. So i'm with ya

[jesperoots]

Any riddim that gets overdone is tiring I think. I think Tempo is a great tune, but heard it to death. That makes me avoiding recuts or maybe pick the best or top two or three of some riddims.

If I had to pick one cut of Tempo, this would be it (and yeah, I never grow tired of this cut):

(Garnett live in combo with Capleton on Killamanjaro)

Great vocals plus I always think Startrail made the definate cut of Tempo.

I could never get enough of it I think. Tempo is my all time favourite riddim.

Tempo riddims Bad Ya!!

[lankou]

probably versioned too many times but, hey, that's a classic, still.
Wonder why certain lackluster early digi cuts are now repressed, though.
I was incidentally listening to the Star Trail version from around 1994 and still enjoy most of the songs very much.

[Well Charge]

somehow it lacks the 'oxygen' that i love in the riddims that i like imo.

For those who are more into digital reggae, my favourite cut on the Jammys version, by Nitty Gritty:

Gregory Isaacs - Kingston 14 another top one!

I must admit, the Star Trail run is killer. Mainly because of the vocals. Anthony B & Capleton are great on that one.

I thought that this was great timing - I've just released a remake of the Tempo riddim with Jahfa Culture on vocals. Hopefully it sounds a bit different to the original

Here's the link to check it out

yes Massive B successfully killed the vibes.
last version I did enjoy was startrail indeed.
also didn't like the flash cut even the vocals where good, the gloomy feel of it killed the vibes

[Ruffneck]

This one kicked ass when released and can still rock a dance if played at the right moment -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-bJ9YUzK0
