Ethnic Cleansing

African Head Charge - Off The Beaten Track

Drastic Season has failed quality control due to a dodgy rip, so that will appear a little later. Here is the splendid Off The Beaten Track ripped cleanly for your aural pleasure. Head Charge's credibility was peaking by the mid-eighties though it was to be a few years before there was to be any form of commercial recognition (we'll come to that later). Whereas Environmental Studies was groundbreaking, the additional elements on Off The Beaten Track will have a wider appeal.

The use of sampling and wider ethnic influences stands this album out from the others before, but with Sherwood's studio prowess growing with each On-U release perhaps they should have capitalised further, but it was to be four more years before the next Head Charge product. 

Ripped from a vinyl album released on On-U Sound Records (ON-U LP40) to high quality lossless flac audio.
