Obscured By Version

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

A brand new set of Dub Syndicate ‘versions’ utilising rhythms from their classic 89 - 96 period. Adrian Sherwood has gone back to the original tapes, working his mixing desk magic to find new angles on the timeless pulse of Lincoln Valentine “Style” Scott, with fresh overdubs from Cyrus Richard (Dub Asante Band).

Features new dubs of tracks originally found on albums such as Time Boom X De Devil Dead and Stoned Immaculate. A fitting tribute to the long running creative partnership and friendship between Sherwood and Scott.
