Jonny Greenwood Is the Controller

Trojan's 40th Anniversary in 2007 will see figures from the world of rock, dance and hip-hop take the wheel in the journey through reggae history. Jonny Greenwood, one of the few non-reggae artists to take up the challenge, describes it as 'an honour' to put together a Trojan compilation. It's a task that excites and inspires many and, in this case, one that allows us to venture into the musical mind of one of the World's finest contemporary musicians. Despite the Trojan catalogue covering essentially a single genre born of one small island, from over a relatively short space of time, each artist's take on this vast wealth of reggae music is noticeably different, in pace, mood and style.
