Over a twenty week period between September 1999 and the end of the year, Zinc Fence counted down to the new millennium through the last twenty years of reggae music. Each record was given an in depth feature article together with a 30 second sound sample. It was a lot of fun and many thanks to Steve Barrow, Peter Dalton, Dave Katz, Steve Milne and Geoff Parker for their contributions. The record of 1999, Your Love Is My Love by Terry Linen, was chosen by visitors to the site. Here is the archive of the whole twenty week project.
