so turntablelab just picked up my cd - check for it here:

or at retial locations in NYC and LA!

Here is their review:
The reggae monkey is extremely wary of reggae mix cds, especially ones that get sent to the Lab, so you should know that you are getting a good one here. Aside from the Federation crew cds, there really aren't that many good reggae mixes out there (you're either getting 80 of the exact same "dancehall classics" or 80 brand new tracks that will all be forgotten in a week), and the ones that come from people who are "on the lab radar" seem especially unadventurous or strange in scope. Meistro has got his selection down pretty tight on here though, rolling through mostly conscious-type tunes with a heavy dancehall slant (meaning it's not on some mopey Drop Leaf style). Most of it is from the last couple years, like "Khaki Suit, Hungry, Handcart Boy," and lotsa Richie Spice, but you also get some nice 80s + 90s sections, with semi-forgotten classics from Capleton, Red Rose, Pampidoo, Terror Fab, Tinga Stewart and the like. I predict long shelf life on this one.
