'The underrated Keith Hudson built this echo-laden mosaic of sound around the melodic basslines of Aston Barrett & the rhythms of Carlton Barrett's, high-hat to the fore, drums. He then interspersed the sound of the rhythm section with the razor sharp guitar licks of Earl 'Chinna' Smith, occasionally adding the sound of the great Augustus Pablo's haunting melodica & the percolatng vocals of Horace Andy & Hudson himself to the mix to create 35 minutes of crucial Dub that is as inventive and imaginative as the more celebrated Dub albums out there' ~ sum jung gai

bet! one of the most crucial albums ever. this 'joint' dropped the same year as Hudson's 'Flesh of my Flesh...' which we'll get to a lil' later. best believe the hype. yet another pistol packin 320 rip . dub week yawl!
