The Dub Syndicate

The Pounding System

ON U Sound

Dub Syndicate

Echomania

ON U Sound

‘Style Scott and Flabba Holt, bedrock of the mighty Roots Radics, holding together the monstrous rhythms, while Adrian Sherwood works his magic at the controls. Features guest appearances from Lee Perry, Michael Franti, and Talvin Singh.’

Dub Syndicate

Ital Breakfast

ON U Sound

‘From 1996, with Style Scott gathering even more crack Jamaican players together for the rhythms, featuring musicians who between them had done time in the likes of the Roots Radics, Soul Syndicate, Joe Gibbs’ Professionals, and Bunny Lee’s Aggrovators.
‘This incredible legacy is augmented by Adrian Sherwood’s work at the mixing desk back in London, overdubbing the London-based Skip McDonald and Akabu, and working his sonic magic on the raw material, a true transatlantic dub collaboration.’

Dub Syndicate

Obscured By Version

ON U Sound

‘A brand new set of Dub Syndicate excursions utilising rhythms from their classic 1989 - 1996 period. Adrian Sherwood has gone back to the original tapes, working his mixing desk magic to find new angles on the timeless pulse of Lincoln Valentine ‘Style’ Scott, with fresh overdubs from Cyrus Richard (Dub Asante Band). Featuring new dubs of tracks originally found on albums such as Time Boom X De Devil Dead and Stoned Immaculate.’

Dub Syndicate

Stoned Immaculate

ON U Sound

‘Probably the best known Dub Syndicate album, this 1991 set was recorded between Jamaica and London, with the rock solid rhythms of band leader Style Scott augmented by a number of additional players, including guitar from Skip McDonald, vocals by Lee Perry and Akabu, samples of the late, great Prince Far I, and keyboards from Keith Levene.’

Dub Syndicate

Strike The Balance

ON U Sound

‘Another great set, with vocal contributions from mainstay Bim Sherman on a cover of Lloyd & Devon’s Cuss Cuss, and Shara Nelson (just prior to Blue Lines) on a version of Serge Gainsbourg’s Je T’aime. Originally released in 1989 and coinciding with the beginnings of Dub Syndicate as a touring unit.’

Dub Syndicate

Out Here On The Perimeter 1989-1996

ON U Sound

‘A follow-up to the Ambience In Dub anthology of the early Dub Syndicate albums, this box-set picks up the story in the late 1980s, with Style Scott coming more to the forefront of the project as bandleader and co-producer, and the group emerging as a live entity, mirroring the trajectory of Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah of labelmates African Head Charge.
‘This was also the period of their greatest popularity, with a series of classic albums that combined the best of Jamaican musicianship and the wild studio experimentation of Adrian Sherwood, resulting in music that appealed to ravers and dreads alike.
‘The four albums from that period — Strike The Balance (1989), Stoned Immaculate (1991), Echomania (1993) and Ital Breakfast (1996) — plus Obscured By Version, a special bonus album Sherwood has concocted out of new productions based on classic Dub Syndicate rhythms.’
With a 32-page booklet.
