Brandon's pick, and the one that floored Nate — a lifelong reggae obsessive who'd somehow never heard it. The Mighty Diamonds' 1976 debut Right Time is the record that finally made Channel One work, a study in minimalism, and home to some of the most beautiful vocal-trio singing ever recorded. It also pulls off a strange, gorgeous trick: sweet, wistful melodies wrapped around lyrics about judgment day and fire. We get into the Hoo Kim brothers and the birth of the Channel One sound, why the "militant rockers" tag doesn't actually fit, the Revolutionaries house band, and a full track-by-track through favorites and bests. Week three of the second annual Reggae Summer, and the start of a run on the great reggae vocal trios.
