Ridicilous new outing on the ever consistent Dug Out label - originally released on the Zion Disco imprint. Huge tip!!

Magnificent nyabinghi roots warning.
The one-and-only Eric Frater is drafted in from Studio One, playing killer rhythm guitar (with Chinna on lead); and likewise Dennis Ferron � Jah D � who leads the way with his spiritualized keyboard-work, keening between jazz and soul. You can hear Puma from Black Uhuru, singing with the Sons. Geoffrey Chung at Dynamic expertly pulls in the bass drum and doubled-up fundas and repetas, keeping the mix raw and alive.
The dub in particular is stunning � thumping, trenchant and brooding, so steeply dread and haunted it almost trips over its sense of yawning silence and doom.
