African Head Charge 'Return Of The Crocodile' LP
£17.49

BEAR TREE RECORDS OF THE YEAR 2016 #20
Inspired by Eno’s “vision of a psychedelic Africa,” English dub producer Adrian Sherwood and master Jamaican percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah collaborated on a series of studio experiments under the African Head Charge moniker, resulting in groundbreaking albums such as ‘Environmental Studies’ and ‘Off The Beaten Track’.
-
The otherworldly sounds they conjure up have touchstones in Count Ossie’s mystic revelations, Can’s ethnological forgery series and the post punk underground but ultimately inhabit a genre of their own creation.
-
These radically different versions of early African Head Charge classics have been lovingly restored and sequenced from the original master tapes by On-U archivist Patrick Dokter. Cut at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin.
-
Includes printed inner with sleevenotes by Steve Barker (BBC Lancashire’s On The Wire), plus a digital download card for full album.
