The scarlet lantern

Two-tone colourised in Darktable - just messing around and seeing what effects I can get. I started off with monochrome but that felt a bit boring.

Let's see if I can't run out a #Ska album rec every day this week. And given that it's #TwoToneTuesday today's has to be:

The Bakesys - King of Ska (2023)

Usually I'd be warning about how avant-garde (?) these guys can be. But this one is mostly back to basics. I think it's just a great #TwoTone album, that's still in line with their discography.

Check out "On The Way Back Home"

On The Way Back Home

Haven't done a #2ToneTuesday in a while, so here's a classic. The Bodysnatchers were a pretty short-lived band (1979-1981) with a pretty big impact.

Here's "Let's Do Rock Steady." And you know what? I agree. Let's.

This song was also released as "Let's Do *The* Rock Steady" on "Dance Craze: The Best of British Ska... Live!" It was again renamed "People Do Rock Steady" on the "Summer Reggae" compilation.

Bringing back #2ToneTuesday / #TwoToneTuesday to recommend "Dance Craze." Just the whole damn album. Every song from every band.

If you're looking for a good entry point for the 2-Tone era of #ska, just put this record on your turntable.
