Econo, I've actually been wondering why NONE of the reviews I've seen of Sinead's album bother to mention Aux armes et cetera or Ginsbourg's other reggae output. I mean, it's practically an identical undertaking, right down the fact that both artists relied on Sly & Robbie to add the "authenticity" necessary to take their projects from vanity, novelty albums to genuinely enjoyable pop music. Of course, Sinead can actually sing, but that's merely a detail. I guess the collective memory of music critics just doesn't extend back as far (or quite as broadly) as one might hope.
