Positive Sound Massive Recordings is pleased to present the label's first compilation release on CD, LP, and Cassette. This album features many unreleased or limited release singles recorded by PSM during a period spanning from late 1993 through 1997. As the title implies, PSM has taken great time and care in creating a release that would appeal to a wide spectrum of the reggae buying public. The riddims on this project are produced and mixed by Stand Out Selector, and the vocalists range from the roots and culture "sing-jay" style of Ras Michael's "No Bow Down" to the amazing vocal stylings of dancehall master Barrington Levy on "Under 16". "Time's Up" also features some wickedDJ tracks from Nicodemus (on an unreleased version of "Boneman Connection"), Grandson Demus, Jr. Robby (currently with The New Dealers), Wookie J., and Jamalski; as well as some smooth Lover's Rock/DJ tunes from RasKidus, Rocker-T., and Alex Duncan. All in all, "Time's Up" has embodied the elements of reggae vocals with the bass-driven, eclectic mix of Positive Sound Massive's hybrid riddim tracks. As with all of PSM's recordings, "Time's Up" also features some of the San Francisco-Bay Area's greatest musicians. Most of the tracks are produced on computer and then re-tracked with live instrumentation. The basic tracks for the album were recorded at Different Fur, Joey's Garage, and PSM, and then mixed at Glue Factory in San Francisco. It is a mix of some of reggae's classic artists with a true turn of the century flavor. Music for the millenium!!!
