Ital Breakfast (Reissue)

One of the most necessary outfits on Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label, Dub Syndicate began as another of Sherwood's collaborative studio projects, eventually transforming into a formidable live band led by Lincoln "Style" Scott. Scott was murdered in Jamaica in 2014, but he left behind some unbelievable records, four of which have been announced for reissue. Strike the Balance (1989), Stoned Immaculate (1991), Echomania (1994), and Ital Breakfast (1996) have all been announced for tasty reissue, alongside a fifth LP of new dub versions from Sherwood himself. Obscured By Version finds Sherwood back at the controls, revisiting the 89-96 era, and concocting whole new magic from his work with Style Scott. - Flying Out

Another classic set of prime Dub Syndicate on this 1996 album, with Style Scott gathering even more crack Jamaican players together for the rhythms, featuring musicians who between them had done time in the likes of the Roots Radics, Soul Syndicate, Joe Gibbs’ Professionals, and Bunny Lee’s Aggrovators.

This incredible legacy is augmented by Adrian Sherwood’s work at the mixing desk back in London, overdubbing the London-based Skip McDonald and Akabu, and working his sonic magic on the raw material, a true transatlantic dub collaboration! Includes a cameo by the legendary deejay I Roy on the title track, and Lee "Scratch" Perry making a guest appearance on “The Captain's Trance Mission”.
