CD Reviews

Advanced Reggae that is still ahead of its time!

Robin Reese | Rochester, NY USA | 06/15/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Producer, Director, & Dub-meister Adrian Sherwood created the British answer to Lee Perry & Scientist.... The ON-U Sound. This label, always precocious, (a 1981 album states: "Another 1991 On-U Sound Production", wins hands-down on being the sound of '90's reggae, except that it all came out in the '80's. ON-U Sound has never failed at presenting the true future of what reggae will develop into. This 3-CD Box set sets the foundation of what ~was~ & now ~is~ in reggae. History & imagination are woven together with incredible dub effects and sequences. This release encapsulates many stages of the development of ON-U Sound & serves as a map, a pocket encyclopedia, of this unique reggae label."
