Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from his role as a session musician, the pioneering melodica player delivered one of the earliest and most crucial full-length statements in the dub genre. The production isolates and magnifies his haunting, minor-key melodies against heavy, reverberating rhythm tracks, cementing the 'Far East' sound in Jamaican music.
