I seem to remember another dancer who performed with them quite alot and performed in video's, a short brunette —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.248.160.129 (talk) 09:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The vocal on "On a Ragga Tip" wasn't actually sampled from "Walk and Skank" was it? I think its someone else just singing the parts. If you listen to Jah Screechy's original the vocal is not quite the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.146.159 (talk) 16:23, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SL2 → SL2 (musical act) – There's no dominance in the current usage, as seen in Google [1]; so the current article should be moved and replaced by a disambiguation page created from the current hatnote. -- 65.92.181.39 (talk) 09:27, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - the multi hat note on article is bizarre, just made SL2 (disambiguation). In ictu oculi (talk) 12:17, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support in general, but prefer SL2 (musical group) or even SL2 (band), which is admittedly not quite accurate. Per WP:D, disambiguators should be non-unique, and this would be only article with (musical group) in the title. By contrast, (musical group) is a common term used for groups that can't exactly be called bands, although there are surely (band)s out there that don't fit the definition anyway. --BDD (talk) 23:49, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to SL2 (musical group), per BDD. -- Trevj (talk) 10:30, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possible minor time discrepancy re early days of SL2

According to the current 'Underground' section, Do That Dance was released a year into touring with Raindance. According to the Raindance Wikipedia page the first Raindance was on 16th September 1989. According to Slipmatt's YouTube upload notes Do That Dance was released in 1988, and according to Discogs it was released in 1989. Anyway the stated timeline doesn't seem to add up, unless either 'touring with Raindance' referred to parties which happened before the first official Raindance in Sept '89, or the record release referred to was a re-release.--Richard Goulstone (talk) 19:23, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SL2 (group) → SL2 (musical group) – Revert to the previous name with consensus. Unfortunately SL2 (group) is ambiguous because another meaning in SL2, namely the special linear group of degree 2, is also a group (mathematics). ——HTinC23 (talk) 12:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
