about

A cut from the second African Head Charge album, a mind-melting dub set that stands out in terms of strangeness even in the context of other envelope-pushing releases. As can be heard on this track, Adrian was experimenting at the time with ambient sound and field recordings that could be dropped into the mix even louder than the musical instruments. At Berry Street Studios, an old style reverb plate and mic’ed up speakers stacked in a stone-built toilet were utilised to add effects and give the tracks a detailed sense of spatial depth. The resulting track conjures up mental images of a hallucinatory trip up a jungle-lined river a la Apocalyse Now, strafed with UFO noises from above rather than helicopter gunfire.
