The third African Head Charge album, originally released in 1983. Described by producer Adrian Sherwood as “experiments in active frequencies, out-of-time noises, rhythms within rhythms, and endless tape edits,” this record captures the group at their most boundary-pushing.
At this stage in their evolution, African Head Charge were creating music that genuinely defied categorization—a genre unto itself. Loose echoes of traditional African percussion, field recordings, and roots reggae flow through the mix, while certain passages evoke the stripped-down experimentalism of Can or Tortoise.
Re-cut at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin for maximum bass pressure. Includes a printed inner sleeve with liner notes by Steve Barker (On The Wire) and a download card for the full album.
