Hawian Hi!
Great album by Motion, a musical project / fusion of reggae, jazz, soul, funk, blues.
Featuring Aswad original/founding member and superb bass player, George Oban who left the group early on to pursue and continue his reggae fusion, musical aspirations.
Motion also feature Aswad's drummer, Angus 'Drummie' Gaye and the smooth, velvety and lovely vocals of Wolete Miriam.
An excellent album, still under the radar for the larger part, been into this one since it landed in 1981 - Grab a copy if you can, you wont regret it, and as for that sleeve/cover picture... worth buying for that alone - beautiful, like the music on the vinyl inside it

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
