MOVIES >+++---> Back in 2001, the band created its first music video to promote their 2001 demo - 'Long Islands' Reggae Ambassadors'. It combines video of the band performing 'Big Dreams Small Reality' with mind-blowing fantasy sequences created using the BRYCE 3D Animation program. Principal photography was completed on July 25, 2002 and editing was finished just in time to distribute free CD copies to all the hardcore H.U. fans who danced all night in the rain at BEEFSTOCK 2002. On a sadder note, these images record those last halcyon days of Studio 55.The 3D animations were created by the staff at www.excretainment.com at Brightwaters Farms Digital, BFD, our in-house production facility. As Lister says - '...WOW...'.
LEVEL THE VIBES - We play the ital sound. We live the ital life. This band is about sharing our love of reggae music, not about $tardom and money. We want to work with
reggae programmers and producers to promote reggae music, which (like truth) is so tragically
missing from the embedded American media machine these days. Haile Unlikley is proud to spread the truth of Jah music to the world, direct from the belly of the beast in Babylon, NY.
Always remember Strong Island. . . Take the time to Feel Irie. . . Give thanks and praise to Jah! . . . and BIG UP to all massive and
crew, whatever your color - wherever you're from - and whatever you do! Respect to ALL people! Warren A. BabylonLISTEN TO WHAT INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING ABOUT HAILE UNLIKELY

Every Thursday morning at WBAI NUFF people call in and BAWL fe DIS one called 'Goodbye KING NUKLA...'

I just dropped some of the tracks on the show yesterday, I opened the show with Big Dreams, Small Reality (which is an awesome track) and then I finished the show with King Nukla (and get this, I dropped the track and Rummy resigned....maybe I need to play this one every week till they all are gone from office). I want to say respect for the musicianship evident on this release and please continue to send us new material so we can continue to share the music with our fans in California, but also the world with our net stream. Give thanks and I confess frankly and haile, as James Taylor sings (you gotta fan)

'Excellent Bien Bien Roots' - Prince Thierry of Radio MEGA 99.2 FM in Lyon, France
'Weird, quirky reggae with catchy hooks and a born-to-party additude. Awesome roots and dub with hints of country and progressive rock. Every great little track on this great little album is awesome-pick it up if you need a little lift from the sunny tropics of Long Island. A 10!" -Edward Burke, AKA DJ Sterling of "Zion Planet", WWPV 88.7FM, Colchester, Vermont - (February 2003)
