Does anyone remember a band from the early 90s think they still are going today released a few albums.I found one of there albums in a charity shop called second light from 1995.I think they are a very hard band to put in any specific genre dance reggae smashing little album.

Yeh they had two great albums in 90s they were dub reggae but with dance added as well, very good live saw them at Glastonbury
I think that's their biggest album you've got with their hits on it , Zion Youth was great.

They had one hit "Little Britain" and I remember when I wanted to play it in my retro chart I had to search through all the various versions for the vocal one. (This Is My Land reprise). It peaked at #2 in my chart.

I loved Little Britain, still one of the most played on my iPod.
The instrumental version got used a lot on TV I think, and was track 1 on the CD single. I much preferred the vocal version though because it has really great lyrics, and a sample from the film Kes if I remember right.

Oh yes. Second Light was my #2 album of the year in 1995, behind Pulp and ahead of Leftfield, Oasis, Supergrass and Blur. I still play it from time to time, and get a pleasant surprise each time, because of its originality. It has aged very well.
If you ever see it in a charity shop, I heartily recommend a £2 investment.
