エイドリアンシャーウッドによる時空を超えたダブ・アルバム『Obscured By Version』!

Obscured By Version (2025)
1989～96年のリズムを基に制作された新ヴァージョン集。エイドリアン・シャーウッドがオリジナルテープを再構築し、新たにダブミックス。エイドリアン・シャーウッドとスタイル・スコットの長年の創造的パートナーシップを称える作品。

Released individually and as part of the Dub Syndicate box set Out Here on the Perimeter 1989-1996, Obscured by Version is Adrian Sherwoods 2025 revisit of material from around that time period. The release stays true to the groups original sound, firmly grounded in reggae and Jamaican music traditions while pushing the outer limits of dub, piling on outlandish echo, samples, and sound effects. There are certain vocals and rhythms that will sound familiar to fans of the original albums, but it still sounds like a fresh work in the mold of Dub Syndicates past work, and its at the same level of quality. "Pleasurezone Transmitter" is based on "Dubbing Psycho Thriller," which might contain Lee "Scratch" Perrys wackiest performance ever, and "Intercommunications" is a riff on the magnificent 1987 non-album single "Night Train." Obscured by Version sounds just as fresh and innovative as any of Dub Syndicates classic releases. ~ Paul Simpson
