Annie Anxiety Bandez ‎– Jackamo (1987/1996)

Ann Robie Bandes (born c. 1961), better known as Little Annie, Annie Anxiety or Annie Anxiety Bandez, is a New York-born singer, songwriter, painter, poet, writer, performing and recording artist, pastor and stage actor.

Outlandish diva of post-punkdub Annie Anxiety (aka Little Annie) put together a fierce lineup of On-U Sound stars, including Tackhead's Doug Wimbish on bass, remixer Skip McDonald, and African Head Charge percussionist Bonjo I. Kishi Yamamoto provided a bed of keyboards and sequenced rhythm tracks, resulting in an unprecedented modern dub album. 

Considerably more upbeat than her debut while maintaining the sinister edge that defines her spoken word work, the album features the outstanding "As I Lie in Your Arms" and the Marvin Gaye tribute "One Mourning." Other essential cuts are "Chasing the Dragon Down Broadway" and the roots-inspired "Rise," which has been the subject of numerous dub remixes appearing on the limited CD reissue on Echo Beach in the "Serious Classic" series.

Cheers for this. Not heard the '96 version. Saw Annie (as Little Annie I think) a lifetime ago, probably 1987. Was well impressed. Best regards, J in Liverpool
