Pasadena Weekly, CD Review >>
TICKLAH, Ticklah vs. Axelrod (Easy Star): Antibalas keyboardist Victor Axelrod, who's also racked up credits working with Easy Star All Stars, Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, is most engaging on this dub-heavy solo roots-reggae platter when he translates tunes like “Mi Sonsito” and Eddie Palmieri's “Si Hecho Palante” from their Latin roots into reggae, tips his effects box to Lee “Scratch” Perry on “Scratch to Win,” and uses echo to play call-and-response with Vinia Mojica's sultry vocals on “Deception.” From the spaceship sounds of “Two Face” through the reverbed instrumental “Nine Years,” it's one trippy ride.
