Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masterminded by producer Adrian Sherwood and percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, this album is a deeply spiritual, incredibly dense exploration of psychedelic dub. Incorporating extensive religious chants, Nyahbinghi drumming, and heavily processed tape loops, it remains a towering achievement within the On-U Sound catalog.
