Farover
''Farover'' is an album by the Jamaican reggae singer and musician Burning Spear, released in 1982. Critical reception Robert Christgau noted that "ever more delicate backup horns subsume ever more docile backup vocals as his unearthly outcries grow more coaxing, less admonitory." '' The Boston Globe'' called ''Farover'' "a generally solid roots effort, even if it is not as intense as ''Burning Spear Live''." The ''Miami Herald'' deemed the album "typical of him—mostly philosophical tunes like 'O'Jah' and the title song that are bouncy and soothing at best." '' Trouser Press'' praised the "haunting vocals and trance-inducing music."

Burning Spear Albums
Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke. Combustion does not always result in fire, because a flame is only visible when substances undergoing combustion vaporize, but when it does, a flame is a characteristic indicator of the reaction. While the activation energy must be overcome to initiate combustion (e.g., using a lit match to light a fire), the heat from a flame may provide enough energy to make the reaction self-sustaining. Combustion is often a complicated sequence of elementary radical reactions. Solid fuels, such as wood and coal, first undergo endothermic pyrolysis to produce gaseous fuels whose combustion then supplies the heat required to produce more of them. Combustion is often hot enough that incandescent light in the form of either glowing or a flame is produced. A sim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
