Incredible, Original Reggae ! Born out of one love spirit and respect for the foundations of reggae- experiencing Instigators music one can hear the echoes of the masters. By using what has become standard roots instrumentation, replete with a three-piece horn section, their music quickly unfolds with a sound that is natural.
Reggae Reviews says:
It''s great to see a second album (and the first studio album) from the Portland, Oregon''s Instigators finally come out. Those whose whistle was whetted by their 2002 live album should rejoice over Living Gift, while those who may have been apprehensive about a live set now have no excuse not to check out this cracking studio album. About half of Living Gift (7 tracks) consists of songs from Live on KBOO, providing the opportunity to compare the live and recorded versions (generally not much difference -- an indication of either the honed quality of their live performances or the organic nature of their recordings). The Instigators bring infectious, sing-along vocals and a swaying roots music buoyed by a lively horn section. It''s the type of hard-to-resist sound that should appeal to both casual listeners (who will eat up the buoyant gems like "Footprints" and "Clean Air,") and hardened reggae aficionados (who should relish "Bright & Sunny Day" and "Star Shine") alike. "Conscious Time," included on the live album as well, continues to be one of the most gorgeous roots jams of recent years, harkening back to the heyday of Steel Pulse. While many of the best cuts on Living Gift were also on KBOO, though, new tunes like "Bright & Sunny Day," the tranquil "Make a Change," and the groovy roots of "Peace & Overstanding" provide ample support, giving us hope for the future of this band. The Instigators are truly "starting something" here.
