Dub Syndicate marries deep and heavy reggae beats with heavy dubs, re-mixed vocals, and a progressive, spacey-psychedelic sound. Over the course of twenty five years, the ingenious duo of Lincoln Valentine Scott aka Style Scott (former drummer with the Roots Radics and Creation Rebel) and Adrian Sherwood, have worked with everyone in the reggae and dub world to create the best music of its kind. Whether they’re jamming on a upbeat, summery-sweet reggae-rooted track or giving us one of their trademark mellow, melodic, instrumentals, this group showcases the absolute best in dub.

Originally issued as a cassette on the ROIR label alongside the likes of Bad Brains, Suicide and The Contortions, this second album from 1983 is an uncompromising collection of heavy dub manners and experimental studio soundscaping. Dreader than dread roots rhythms sit alongside delay-baked post-punk instrumentals such as “Drilling Equipment” and “Synchroniser”.

First ever international vinyl edition, re-cut as a double LP at 45rpm for improved frequency response, includes bonus track “Blood Shed Dub” from the classic disco plate series, download card, and gatefold sleeeve with sleevenotes by Michael “Dub” Shore and Steve “On The Wire” Barker.
