Description

3CDs exploring the post-punk / dub crossover explosion of the late 70s and early 80s. In the wake of punk rock, as artists began to express their eclectic tastes and broaden their sound palettes in ways unimaginable just a few years before, the scene's love affair with Jamaican reggae and dub blossomed. The resulting crossover saw punk rock groups begin to adopt dub rhythms and production techniques into their sound and established reggae and dub producers begin to work with punk rock bands. Oozing liquid, analogue echo, sparse reverb-laden vocals, heavy duty basslines and laid back rhythms, 'Armagideon Time' journeys into the dub-punk crossover in the UK and further afield, bringing together raincoat-adorned working-class bands, Jamaican producers, British reggae pioneers, die-hard punks and London-based future dub exponents in an unlikely soundclash adventure across 3CDs. With scene-setting notes by low-end legend Jah Wobble and band-by-band biographies, this is a must-hear sequel and companion piece to our highly regarded 'Roots Rock Rebels' punk/reggae set. For fans of post-punk, dub and reggae, and the socio-political scene of late 70s and early 80s multicultural Britain.
