waynemar1970 One of those lightbulb moments...1988, this 17yr old indie kid (and ex B-Boy) went to see Billy Bragg supported by Michelle Shocked. These guys came on first and blew me away. Favorite track: The Beatnigs - Television (Dance Mix).

MingTubbs Adrian has been a proactively ready head for such a long time, and with consistently exceptional work results. Bought this comp tonight due to reading about provenance of original vocal on "Hold Some More" via notes provided here. ==Thank you A.S. for a nigh lifetime of comfort==

waynah Since paying it all back no.1 in 1985 I got into on u sound and amazingly I met Ramses Hoppa and Pats Dokter in Budapest where I now live. Much respect! Favorite track: Tackhead - Mind At The End Of The Tether.

“More planet-rocking rare sonic gold from the On-U mines” - Electronic Sound

“In the mix is chest-quaking percussion, basslines that struck blows as much as they held grooves, chopped-up samples, and an array of effects that took dub farther out.” - All Music

“If we’re measuring influence, there’s no doubt that the late 1980s were peak Adrian Sherwood. This is when his blend of dub voids, industrial clanks and hip-hop rhythms came into its own.” - Dusted Magazine
