Strike The Balance [VINYL]

On-U Sound are announcing new reissues of early 90s classics by one of their flagship artists, the much-missed Dub Syndicate. A follow-up to the Ambience In Dub boxset that anthologised the early Dub Syndicate albums, Out Here On The Perimeter 1989 - 1996 picks up the story in the late 1980s with Style Scott coming to the forefront of the project as bandleader and co-producer, and the group emerging as a live entity. This was also the period of their greatest popularity, with a much-loved series of albums that combined the best of Jamaican musicianship with the wild studio experimentation of UK production maverick Adrian Sherwood, resulting in music that appealed to ravers and dreads alike. Four albums are being repressed on vinyl, with faithful reproductions of the beautiful original sleeve artwork, and new inner sleeves containing detailed liner notes and archival photos. Sherwood has also concocted a special bonus album, of brand new version excursions on rhythms from the period. A CD boxset anthologises all five albums.
