Album Notes & Community Reviews

Often cited as a landmark of British reggae, the album consists of dub reinterpretations of tracks from their 'New Chapter' sessions. Recorded at Island Studios, the arrangements prioritize heavy sub-bass foundations and expansive tape delay effects characteristic of the London dub scene. It demonstrated the group's technical proficiency in the genre, distancing them from their more pop-oriented vocal material.
