One most must agree with here. Well known and well played this album rocks. What appeals to be personally isn’t just the diversity of urban, classical asian, hip hop and desi beats but more the accomplishment of the tracks collectively as an album.
Listening from start to finish the album takes you on a morale thought provoking journey whilst keeping your head nodding, brain engaged and illustrating intelligent insight into modern asian britain.
It’s also worth praising the wonderful instrumental elements (especially those beautiful piano riffs)
Loveley stuff
I first came across this band when I was perusing a record collection inherited from my father. The cover looked of heavy metal origin and this didn’t fit his Blues and Folk man ethos.
So I opened up the gatesleeve. Wow! What an amazing bunch of white weird wonders.
I make no bones about this – this album rocks.
Electric Blues and Boogie Guitar from the 70’s that has real balls. Slow to medium in pace, up and down on the power guage I defy you to not Blues Rock out to this over a game of poker. 1970 Original Issue
Genius

Mention Aswad and most people will imagine a couple of guys showing out to some smaltz like don’t turn around – or at least most ignorants would anyway.
This album personally changed my perception of them but aside from that it stands alone as a wicked example of its genre – dub.
Echo’d out, wild sounds a sweet production combine to produce a really listenable LP.
I love the cover art too! Righteous!
Awesone Dub LP with wicked cover

Love that cover
I absolutely adore this 1970’s Grant Green LP Sleeve.
I think its safe to say that over the last 14 years of owenership I have enjoyed the cover much more than the music on the LP. The LP flashes through some professional and competant covers of James Brown, The Beatles and Burt Baccaurach but hey the sleeve really does the business – one to be framed soon I think….
