jonpar777 Hard to say which is my favourite track on this compilation, but it’s kicks off the album beautifully. I have the album on vinyl and used to listen to it all alot.....it's a encapsulates the On-U dub and roots style with a very fine mixture of driving dub rhythms, floating melodies and superb vocalists ... Ashanti Roy, Mikey Dread, Bim Sherman and the mighty Prince Far I. all of whom are just submine. I think I might have to get the other ones....."War on Words" is also totally brilliant. Favorite track: African Blood.

Robert Bloemkolk Classic reggae. Bim Sherman is such a great singer. And Adrian Sherwood sowed up a magic carpet of sound which lifted that voice to even greater heights. Staggering indeed. Favorite track: Socca.

about

Rated by many to be the pinnacle in their catalogue, this third album from 1983 saw the reggae collective really hitting their stride. On microphone duties, Prince Far I and Bim Sherman are joined by Mikey Dread (fresh from his work with The Clash) and Ashanti Roy (The Congos) for a truly heavyweight line-up. Voicing killer rhythms laid down by members of the Dub Syndicate and Roots Radics, this is a landmark recording in the mutated UK version of dub. Contains the classic On-U tracks “Bedward The Flying Preacher” and “Snipers In The Streets”.
