'ECHOMANIA'
RELEASED 20.09.93. - On U LP64/64C/CD24
Since the release of 'Pounding System' in the heady days of 1982, the name of
DUB SYNDICATE has been associated with highly inventive and intoxicating music
with roots based firmly in the rhythms of reggae, but with sights set far into
the future. An ever evolvong group of musicians with the hands of Style Scott
and Adrian Sherwood at the controls. DUB SYNDICATE have created a sound that
is uniquely and distinctively their own with appeal far beyond the bounds of
dub and reggae.
Over their twelve year history DUB SYNDICATE have released eight compilations
in 'Classic Selection Volumes One and Two' plus a handful of singles that have
plotted their journey through the unknonw and into beyond.
On U Sound now unleashes 'ECHOMANIA', the latest epic expedition from the
mighty DUB SYNDICATE, and their most innovative album to date, featuring the
talents of many guest vocalists, among them Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Akabu and
U Roy, over a variety of diverse and solid rhythms in the true On U Sound
tradition. From the chunky drum and bass of 'Roots Commandment', through the
scientific dancehall sound of '2001 Love' to the final dub experiment that is
'Echomania', each track is a classic in it's own right that pushes forward to
explore new diversions of sound.
Let yourself into the On U Sound echo chamber and succumb to the mania!
