DUB SYNDICATE

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 “Scratch” Perry and Akabu , samples of the late, great Prince Far I , and keyboards from Keith Levene .

It also marks a period in which the label was embraced as much by acid house afficianados as hardcore dub heads, with this album becoming a staple of the post-rave ‘comedown’ session. The title track is a veritable On-U Sound anthem, mashing up reggae, tripped out electronica, The Doors and Motown into an epic groove, guaranteed to get crowds moving from the sound system session to the festival field, and all points in between.
