Rich's (Newer) Reggae (and Stuff)... too many parenthesis?

Having had one of my periodic misery-breaks from presenting radio shows I manned up and switched the mic on tonight to present a selection of the newer music that has caught my ear of late. I've attached links to the playlist where appropriate as all of these bands are well worth checking out. You can listen to the show here: http://mixlr.com/fusion-on-air/showreel/ , I hope you find something you want to investigate further. Here's the list:

1. Phoenix City All-Stars - The Selecter
2. Gecko - What You Gonna Do?
3. Grant Phabao & Horace Andy - Talk 'bout Peace
4. Ed Rome (Featuring Bella) - I Confess
5. Demelza's Tea Party - Drowning
