adrian sherwood & the late ari up of the slits come together one last time & create music at the cornerstone of the on-u sound.

whenever sherwood & ari met up in the uk, they worked together on a then-untitled album. the 1st of the recordings for that album began a few years ago with the song ‘conquer’, then in 2008 ari up was diagnosed with the cancer from which she would die just 2 years later at the end of 2010. with her unquenchable passion for reggae music, she maintained that she & adrian would finish the album they had begun. & they did. this is the culmination of 30 years of friendship & love between two of britain’s brightest & most creative cult talents.
