After his legendary 1970s recordings became foundational totems of modern reggae, influential musician and producer Augustus Pablo continued to unearth new expressions of his singular sound throughout the two decades that followed. Whether elevating his dub mastery with digital techniques or expanding the instrumental palette on his bass-heavy melodica grooves, the pioneering Jamaican artist remained an innovator throughout his limited time in this world. Released just a few weeks before his untimely passing in 1999, Valley Of Jehosaphat was the final album from Augustus Pablo and an enduring statement from an artist who always remained true to his vision. With production values far exceeding the grainy classics of his early career, the collection's spellbinding instrumental arrangements resound with clarity, capturing the peaceful essence of Pablo's creativity. Now, Valley Of Jehosaphat is receiving a full vinyl release for the first time ever. Courtesy of Nature Sounds and the relaunched Rockers International, this 2LP vinyl edition also includes five bonus tracks highlighting rare 1990s Augustus Pablo material.
“Melodica wizard Augustus Pablo created visions of distant lands in his meditative take on roots music, and his catalogue as artist, producer and instrumentalist places him at the centre of Jamaica's studio innovations…Pablo died in 1999, but his visions remain as vivid as ever." - The Wire
