The 18th Parallel - All Fruits Ripe LP
SKU: FTR074
Description:
Swiss powerhouse The 18th Parallel presents another slice of fine
modern roots reggae! All Fruits Ripe is a heavyweight showcase
album rooted in the foundations of reggae while firmly anchored in
the present. Recorded between 2015 and 2025, the project brings
together a powerful lineup of Jamaican vocalists — Micah Shemaiah,
Keith Rowe (from rocksteady duet Keith & Tex), Rod Taylor, Var
(Inna De Yard, Pentateuch), Hezron, and Itral Ites — each
representing a different generation of conscious reggae music. The
album features six vocal cuts and five dub versions, highlighting
both lyrical strength and sound system culture. Carefully mixed by
master engineer Roberto Sánchez, All Fruits Ripe stands as a
transnational reggae statement: Jamaican voices carried by a
European band deeply connected to the roots with a profound respect
for the culture that gave birth to reggae and dub. It features
legendary guest Jamaican musicians Leroy ‘Horsemouth’ Wallace,
Scully Simms, Dalton Browne, or Errol ‘Blacksteel’ Nicholson. A
mature and carefully crafted release where every track feels
essential — like fruit finally ready to be harvested.
