It is a dub record that pushes deep into electronic territory, folding samples and programmed chants into live percussion and heavy bass. African Head Charge began as a studio collaboration between Jamaican percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and English producer \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/juicyrecords.com.au\/products\/adrian-sherwood-the-collapse-of-everything-vinyl-lp\"\u003eAdrian Sherwood\u003c\/a\u003e. The project took its name, and its idea of a psychedelic Africa, from Brian Eno and David Byrne's 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts'. The album was originally released on Sherwood's On-U Sound label in 1986. It was recorded and mixed at Southern Studios with Sherwood producing. Noah's hand percussion sits against a rotating On-U cast: Jah Wobble on bass for 'Some Bizarre', Skip McDonald on keyboards for 'Language \u0026amp; Mentality', and Style Scott among the drummers. 'Down Under Again' adds didgeridoo. On-U's own notes describe the album as a landmark in combining sampling technology with live instrumentation. Its found sounds, including barking dogs, breaking glass and looped violin, still land unexpectedly. This edition belongs to On-U Sound's reissue of four early African Head Charge albums, and it was cut at Dubplates \u0026amp; Mastering. It comes with a printed inner sleeve carrying notes by Steve Barker of On The Wire, along with a download card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"African Head Charge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46223952019541,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7079\/7909\/files\/african-head-charge-off-the-beaten-track-vinyl-lp.jpg?v=1790215524","url":"https:\/\/juicyrecords.com.au\/products\/african-head-charge-off-the-beaten-track-vinyl-lp","provider":"Juicy Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
