Yeah, it’s understandable when people just don’t get excited about an album of covers. When the covers are the long-playing debut of a band, well, that could be a worry. But, sometimes, you should be excited. Sometimes you shouldn’t worry.

The Dynamics’ Version Excursions, released by the German Groove Attack label, is just that: 14 covers of classics old and new covered in a chilled-out old school reggae that manages grab and hold your attention while soothing you at the same time. The track list speaks more to the variety than any attempt to single out specific highlights:

   01. The Dynamic Sound
   02. Girls And Boys
   03. 7 Nation Army
   04. Land Of 1000 Dances
   05. Lay Lady Lay
   06. Miss You
   07. Rockit
   08. Brothers On The Slide
   09. 90% Of Me Is You
   10. Whole Lotta Love
   11. Feel Like Making Love
   12. The Creator Has A Master Plan
   13. Fever
   14. Move On Up

Frackin sweet.
