Our Take

Oh, Moria Sofiain. How do I even begin to describe this album? Well, let's start with the fact that it's a delightful mix of ska, reggae, and rocksteady that'll make you want to dance your cares away. Laurel Aitken, the legendary "Godfather of Ska," really outdid himself with this one.

From the infectious grooves of "Skinhead Train" to the soulful crooning of "Sally Brown," every track on Moria Sofiain is a banger. Aitken's signature gravelly voice is in fine form here, effortlessly gliding over the lively instrumentation. And let's not forget the lyrics - catchy, clever, and guaranteed to get stuck in your head for days.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through crystal clear. The horns are brassy, the guitar licks are slick, and the drums are tight as a snare drum. It's like a musical feast for your ears, and trust me, you won't be able to get enough.

Overall, Moria Sofiain is a must-listen for any fan of ska or reggae music. It's fun, it's funky, and it's sure to put a smile on your face. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let Laurel Aitken transport you to a world of infectious rhythms and feel-good vibes. You won't regret it, I promise.
