Churchical Chant of the Iyabinghi (LP)

A unique album of outtakes and versions from the classic Songs of Praise and In Pursuit of Shashamane Land albums, compiled by On-U archivist Patrick Dokter from the original tapes and expertly sequenced to work as an immersive listening experience.

These are the dubbier and more out there experiments mixed down whilst Adrian Sherwood was shaping the sound of the albums. Bubbling percussion lines skitter across the stereo spectrum, ghostly voices echo inside the machine and mangled guitar riffs beam down from Mars, whilst staying rooted in the tough tribal rhythms that form the bedrock of the AHC sound.

This one's a vital cop for fans of both the band and label alike.
