Wild Paarty Sound, Vol. 1
First volume - though the 2nd never happened - of this ongoing collaboration between post-punk stalwarts Cherry Red and home of the western dub On-U Sound. Adrian Sherwood obviously sitting behind the desk and a cast of marvelous artists leading the way for a reggae renaissance. Stolen and contaminated songs, we may take this as a reference point for 12 unreleased tracks showing the best of the UK underground rhythms. A further development of the Jamaican heritage, with handmade electronics and a forward thinking production. Mothmen's 'Afghani Dub' is one of the leading tracks here, with future members of Durutti Column and Simply Red on board, this is a mystical post-industrial trip through upbeat rhythms. Along the way you'll find the over the top vocal performance of Judy Nylon - more akin to certain no wave expressionism - futuristic vibes from Sun Of Arqa, contribution from New Age Steppers supergroup and Creation Rebel teaming up with the so-called Jamaican 'Voice of Thunder' Prince Far I. All in all a (natural) mystic experience. Fully remastered and licensed, limited to 500 copies on 180 gr vinyl. SIDE 1: 1. Jah Woosh - Woodpecker Sound 2. Machine Gun Hogg & Co. - Bed Bound Saga 3.
