The best of the pure instrumental albums in Pablo’s catalog, East of the River Nile finds the melodica master stretching out on various keyboards and strings as well on earthy, meditative tracks like “Chant to King Selassie I,” “Jah Light,” and “Natural Way.” Though this is explicitly a non-dub occasion, “Natural Way” does get its own version with “Nature Dub.” [Also available in a remastered edition featuring six bonus tracks.] – John Bush
