Ska is a form of Jamaican music which began in the early 1960s. Combining elements of traditional mento and calypso with an American jazz and rhythm and blues sound, it was a precursor in Jamaica to rocksteady and later reggae. It is the predominant form of music listened to by Rudeboys, Mods, and Skinheads, amongst others, with artists such as Symarip, Laurel Aitken, The Charmers and The Pioneers aiming songs at these groups as far back as the 1960s.

Imagine sitting at the window of a trans-world train watching many different cultures, flavours and atmospheres go past you. A real journey of a piece. You never know quite what will happen next. Contains synth bass and pads, drum machines, ethnic percussion such as tabla and bongos ...and African voices.
Modern retro,organ drenched groover. Jagged beats combine with trancey organ lines and phatt bass to produce a hypnotic and constantly moving hybrid of 70's and 00's. Contains organ, bass, drums and guitar.
Very peaceful, lilting, ambient track. Lush synth chimes and soft pads mix to make one big fluffy textural piece. Contains synths and drum units.
Slow spacey rocker. Starts slow and sleazy and gains in intensity And emotion as it progresses. Lots of cool guitar licks and lush sounds. Think Jeff Beck meets Satriani at Steve Lukather's barbecue. Contains guitars, bass, drums and keyboards.
Groove laden, gargantuan riff-lead track that takes you on a journey. Has a kind of bluesy flavour to the verse guitar parts and shuffle feel to the drums and bass. Plenty of cool, catchy guitar licks and leads and lush piano and strings to add colour. Contains guitar, bass, drums, piano and strings.
Very dark and brooding piece. Builds with tension as it goes along. Starts with spacey synth pads and then explodes into distorted and twisted life. The mid break brings in some spacey, atmospheric textures before the inevitable last crushing chorus. Style wise similar to nine inch nails. Contains synths, guitars, drums and lots of distortion. Would suit thriller type project.
Synth pulses and psychedelic guitar notes introduce a tense atmosphere before brutal guitar riffs pulverize you into submission. A very powerful and intense combination of huge distorted riffs, machine-like drums and soaring lead lines make this track a heady brew.
Monolithically powerful riff-fest. monster drum grooves and blunt guitars poke at you like steel lances until you capitulate. Reminiscent of White Zombie or Prong. There is a brief reprieve from the intensity in the mid section only for the seas of guitars to return and finish the job. Would suit sports, action, thriller projects.
Cool pop, rock crossover track with a strong groove and a sense of motion and purpose. Layered guitars, driving drums and bass with a piano towards the end create a full and dynamic sound. Uplifting and powerful feel which would suit many media projects.

Uptempo ska with an organ top line. Happy and fun!
Uptempo Ska with a slightly punky cartoon mood. There is also an underscore version available, which displays more of the reggae feel and exposes the bass line
A charming, slowish Ska in minor key with a nosey trumpet lead line, slightly comic. There is also an underscore version without the trumpet, which is great as a background groove, has more of a reggae feel, and shows off the cool bass line.
Ska is a type of music that originates from Reggae and Jamaican music. The British punk movement also borrowed from Ska, and a good example of a band that made Ska popular in the mainstream was the UK pop/party band, 'Madness'. (Remember the song "Our House"?). This track is an uptempo ska with a horns top line. It's also available as an underscore version, without the horns.

Very tribal and intense. A rhythmic track that builds and builds. At first it walks toward with evil intent then it grabs you by the jugular and starts to mercilessly squeeze. Like N.I.N. jamming with Foo Fighters. Contains guitars, lots of drums and bass.

A lone piano begins a lament, soon joined by distant choirs and a sedentary drum beat. Then emotive strings swell and bring more colour. In the outro section a searing guitar solo says it's final piece. Oh stop crying and buy it, it's lovely! Contains piano, strings, choirs, bass and drums.
