BUY OUR ALBUM

The Universal Players are in a works transition after making a live studio recording of their new EP album recorded in essex,the set is entitled "HERE TODAY"...

 

The leading track from the LP  give up a reggae rock steady tune that define the band tight swing style as the song borders the UK soulful/lovers/melody type of sounds...

 

Wayne vocals delivery come over in the essence of The Heptones" vocalist "Leroy Sibbles" who the artist is a  fan of!!! aswell as one of UK great singing talent "Michael Gordon" Of London finest "The Instigators Band" who had a very successful era in the 70's/80' giving us much top reggae songs...

 

Wayne McArthur & The Universal Players have geared up there music history gigging solidly as a unit UK wide and taking into band agency work for future events/tours as the works has gathered enough history to market the band music further afield where the songriter/artist music has carried his roots rock reggae  messages over bridges and borders with classic tracks as "Love Faith & Belief" and the Disciples produced anthem "Dancing On A Rainbow"

 

A more current album called "Roots Criteria" has been a collective UK/EURO produced album that offered us the works from the artists travels that's issued various studio recorded encounters outta south coast UK "Karnatone Studio" a roots dance track "Walk Of Life" Rec/Mix Gavin Sant that rocks and swing ina reggae groove...

 

From this LP set is also the the roots & culture one-a-way dubwise steppa Outta Paris "Victory Dance" a combine label merger that the artist saw fit to release via his "MoonWaveMusic" production source on the "Reggae Remedy" French roots reggae label that is still a good tune in the roots dance mixed up alongside the "Conscious Sounds" track "Unification" & "Give Us Your Space" setting the scene of the tracks that came via Dougie Conscious Studio Sound...

 

The Russ Disciple productions like "Jah Love Is The Reason Why" - "Self Realisation" - "Roots Criteria" with the latter track as a infusion of roots dub rock reggae style that is quite different in the way the track breaks up the vibes in a heavy dubwise dance manner... 

 

There is a interesting song on the album also that is made by Dubwisers "Jonas & Spider" in the definitions of original "Upsetters" sounds as "Travelling" have grains of the deep Black Arks sounds then both musicans have worked extensively with "Lee Scratch Perry" this shows in the production feel of the song...

 

There are quite a few more newer recorded titles outthere that have been served up by the artist studio efforts via some of the studio's names listed ie "Social Bonding" single outta "Conscious Sounds" bless via Dougie Conscious and the re-work of the arist original penned "Natural Forces" off the "Universal Harmony" set,

the artist first LP early 90's that now a solid updated riddin build by Russ D with the great UK musican/eng/producer giving a good account in the mix with the singer roots rock reggae steady style of performance...

this leave us with current releases from the artists in vein of "Sunrise" & "Old Kingston Road" from Russ studio production and the cool reality stepper track from Dubwiser "We Love Music" setting a uptempo feel with a goovy rockers tune...
