Another classic set of prime Dub Syndicate on this 1996 album, 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! Includes a cameo by the legendary deejay I Roy on the title track, and Lee "Scratch" Perry making a guest appearance on “The Captain's Trance Mission”. Out of print on vinyl for many years, this edition has been re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, with an inner sleeve featuring rare photography by Coneyl Jay and new liner notes by Rob Harris (Test Pressing).
