No mention is complete without this, Kunta KInte

[shifting gears]

Having a listen to this. I had a tape of this that my mate Joe did for me. I love this album. Think it's more than partly responsible for totally killing a pair of speakers I had back then.

Also got this on today, had forgotten how heavy the cut to ‘Baltimore’ is on here! A tune I always loved in the Taxi Gang vocal cut anyway but dubbed right out here…

Sad news indeed,so much great music,the DUB EXPERIENCE LP that has been mentioned is a masterclass in the sonic possibilitys of Drums and the Bass ,i got it about the same time i got this
RIP@x

Fabulous links and YouTubes on this thread ..... But I will catch up with them ASAP!

This was very sad news .... I caught up with it last week, but I've largely been absent from Urban.

As traditionally, I'll offer this Guardian obituary ..... Well worth a read, I'd say.

As close as possible to the You dont Riddim as you can get without crossing the line so Serge boy gets to claim he wrote it. Released in 79, its a bizarre album, but the riddime are ace
