Dub Syndicate
Tunes From The Missing Channel
Increasing access to new studio technology resulted in this splicing of dub reggae DNA with cut-and-paste sampledelia. This album, originally from 1985, pairs crack Jamaican session musicians such as the Roots Radics' drummer Style Scott and The Congos' Ashanti Roy with Public Image Ltd.'s Jah Wobble and Keith Levene, not to mention the restless mixing desk boundary-pushing of producer and de facto member Adrian Sherwood. A more reggaefied take on the industrial funk Sherwood was making with Tackhead during the same period, lovers of digidub, outernational sounds and even the wilder reaches of '80s hip-hop will find much to get lost in here. This reissue includes a download card.
