The Dub Syndicate - The Pounding System (Ambience In Dub) LP

The debut Dub Syndicate set from 1982, pre-dating the involvement of mainstay Style Scott. This features various members of Creation Rebel and African Head Charge turning out a wild dub set, with hard-hitting rhythms and FX-mutated melodies phasing in and out of the mix.

Recorded quickly with track titles cheekily poking fun at the contemporary series by The Scientist which pitted him against various B-movie foes. The tunes themselves however are deadly serious, with version excursions on some classic On-U vocal cuts such as Bedward The Flying Preacher and Across The Red Sea, and a continuing commitment by producer Adrian Sherwood to take his love of reggae and filter it through his exploratory and uniquely English approach.

Vinyl reissue re-cut at Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin. Includes printed inner with sleeve notes by Steve Barker (On The Wire) and download card with extra track.
