Classic roots, rock, reggae--not to be missed Dec 06, 2008
"Unconquered People" provides an excellent sample of classic roots, rock, reggae music at its best. The three members of Israel Vibration are one of the greatest, if not the greatest, vocal harmony trios in the history of reggae music--which is saying a lot. The backing band on this CD is a veritable who's who of all time great reggae musicians. Not to be missed.
 solid Oct 14, 2008
this is a great set of true roots tunes. with the exception of one song (mr taxman), which has electronic effects and heavier drums, the tracks are solid and the musicianship creative. some recordings featuring session musicians in this time frame can get repetetive and lack a certain soul but this is not the case with UNCOnQUERED PEOPLE. harmonies are good. as is the case with THE SAME SONG these tracks are slow with a deep long skank. the sound is more polished than THe Same SONG recordings but rough enough to hold its own amongst the heavy roots of the early 70's such as burning spear's MAN IN THE HILLS which is highly recommended.

ISRAEL VIBRATION...THE SECOND TIME AROUND Sep 01, 2003
"UNCONQUERED PEOPLE" IS ISRAEL VIBRATION'S SECOND ALBUM. MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEIR STRONGEST WORK IS "THE SAME SONG," BUT I BEG TO DIFFER. EVEN THOUGH "THE SAME SONG" IS PERHAPS THEIR BEST KNOWN CLASSIC, DON'T IGNORE "UNCONQUERED PEOPLE." THIS ALBUM IS ALSO A CLASSIC. FROM START TO FINISH, THIS ALBUM WILL LEAVE YOUR EARS COMFORTED. BOB MARLEY WAS SAID TO BE PRESENT DURING THE SESSIONS OF THIS ALBUM, FOR THE ALBUM WAS RECORDED AT BOB MARLEY'S TUFF GONG STUDIOS. THE ABSOLUTE STAND OUTS ARE "MR. TAXMAN" WHICH IS SURE TO HAVE YOU DANCING, "SURVIVE" WITH THE JAZZY PIANO AND SAX DUO, "TOP CONTROL" WHICH IS ALSO SURE TO HAVE YOU DANCING, AND "WE A DE RASTA" WHICH REMINDS US ALL THAT WE ARE PROTECTED BY THE MASTER. IF YOU ARE JUST GETTING INTO ISRAEL VIBRATION, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO START. THIS IS ONE OF THEIR ABSOLUTE BEST ALBUMS!!

Hands down, the BEST Israel Vibration CD Jul 18, 2002
Backed by the legendary Wailers band, Israel Vibration's second release boasts the best songwriting of the group's career. Furthermore, ALL the singers are in great voice here, particularly Skelly, which is a welcome surprise to those who are more familiar with his weaker singing on later releases. Add the rock solid musicianship of the Wailers band, and you get the best of all Isreal Vibration's albums. It eclipses even their critically acclaimed first album, "The Same Song", (which sounds much more raw by comparison.If you are a fan of roots reggae music, you will not be disappointed by Unconquered People. It delivers. Big time.
