Reggae

The Techniques is a Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Stranger Cole and The Heptones. Those roots explain a lot about how The Techniques arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Hopeton Lewis, The Paragons, Tommy McCook & The Supersonics, The Jamaicans and Derrick Morgan, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nora Dean, Don Campbell, Ken Parker, Tenor Saw and Musical Youth, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around The Techniques, reaching back through Stranger Cole and forward to Nora Dean.
