Dub Plates

Various Artists - On-U Sound Disco Plate Collection Part One

Ripped from a compact disc album released on On-U Sound Records (ON-U CD 0012) in 1998 to high quality lossless flac audio. Here's a splendid compilation of those hard to find 10" On-U Sound singles, mostly mastered from vinyl. I've noticed that the label are in a resurgence at the moment and many of their original master reels are being baked and remastered. Many of these could eventually see the light of day once more.

2  Congo Ashanti Roy with Singers and Players - Blood Shed (Dub)
3  Congo Ashanti Roy withSingers and Players - Hands And Hearts
4  Bim Sherman with Singers and Players - Revolution
5  Bim Sherman with Singers and Players - Too Much Workload
6  Creation Rebel - Independent Man

Chemical Brothers

Creation Rebel & New Age Steppers - Threat To Creation

Originally released on a vinyl album on Cherry Red Records (BRED 21) in 1981. Sourced here from a 1999 compact disc reissue in high quality lossless flac. Today's daily dub is one of the heaviest dubs known to man. Expect all the usual suspects to feature.

A2 Threat To Creation
A3 Eugenic Device
A4 Last Sane Dream
B5 Painstaker
B6 Earthwire Line
B7 Ethos Design

Creation Rebel- Starship Africa

Adrian Sherwood's first production work can be heard on Creation Rebel's fine 1978 album Dub From Creation, but it was this album, recorded the same year with Dennis Bovell and Mark Lusardi, which broke all the ground. After a low key 1980 release on his original 4D Rhythms label, Sherwood re-released it on On-U Sound in 1982.

Each side features one long dub track, each made up of four movements. Side A states it will be the soundtrack for a forthcoming movie (was there ever a film?) and can be best described as unsurpassed psychedelic dub, side B follows where it leaves off then drifts into a vast effect laden space dub. Described on the On-U tribute site as The Grateful Dead meet Tangerine Dream, washed in dub with ambient space and industrial noise - which will no doubt isolate a more mainstream audience, though I am sure many here will love this. Sherwood is given full writing credits on the label as A. Maxwell. Enjoy.

Originally re-released on an On-U Sound album (ON-U LP8) in 1982. Ripped here to high quality lossless flac audio.
