V/A - Artists Anonymous 4 [Bunker 2009 Ltd]

This mysterious compilation of predominantly unknown origin has made its way across the binary universe and landed here, like some compressed package of space dust or alien bacterial shmear.

Either way, this Artists Anonymous comp on the Bunker label received limited vinyl release during 2009. With little to no information on many artists and track names included on the comp, I about flipped out when I heard the first couple tracks. Dark, atmospheric Electro with hardly any trace of human involvement :)

So this weird comp has landed in my #1 spot for bug out material released in 2009.... Enjoy :!~

There are some nice dubs of Thompson's best rhythms here, choice cuts and unique versions that you know haven't been released, they've been in the bottom of a closet for years! Remastered with fine sound quality, there's 13 bottom heavy cuts here to keep your woofer from gathering dust: "Clock Face Dub", "Back Against The Wall", "Dub Somebody", "Wrong Fight Version", "Hungry Belly Dub", "Holding On In Dub", "Dubbing Feet", "Guide Me In Dub Style", "Got To Hide Dub", "Lonely Cry", "Own Eyes Version", 'Scatter Grain Dub" and "Dubbing To Africa".

African Head Charge - Off The Beaten Track * (Re-up Request)

African Head Charge - Off The Beaten Track
Label - On-U Sound
Recorded - 1986
Style - Electronic, Dub, Reggae, Lee Library, World Music
Additional Musicians - Skip McDonald, Jah Wobble

(review by Steve Barker)
Off The Beaten Track

In the intervening years between the 1986 release of “Off The Beaten Track” and its immediate predecessor 1983’s “Drastic Season”, African Head Charge had been moulded into a live blood-pumping band by its main man Bonjo lyabinghi Noah, who had truly come out of the shadows where percussion usually resides, fuelled by a righteous desire to occupy that front-of-stage position. Also during that time producer Adrian Sherwood had volunteered to be fed through the funk-mangle by Messrs.

(Skip) McDonald, (Doug) Wimbish and (Keith) Le Blanc, had come out the other end more disciplined and focused on what fresh sounds might be possibly created through the blatant use and abuse of state of the art technology, where he had previously generated samples as a “captured sound” by-product of the studio hardware or bled all over the old Studer decks as a result of a thousand razored edits. The result of this “great leap forward” was the fourth actual, but first “modern”, African Head Charge album – “Off The Beaten Track” – which sounded like nothing else around at the time, and whose combination of fat beats and ethnic chants was to provide the template, which many lesser lights were to attempt to emulate over the ensuing years.

Compared to previous efforts the "new" AHC rhythms were less abstract and more direct, with continuous and flowing percussion lines and more managed tempo shifts. The application of loops and samples of increased time duration made all the difference when combined with the more fluid and confident approach of the musicians involved in the build of the tracks. Sherwood shows up once more under his by now redundant guise as "The Prisoner". Skip McDonald makes an early non-funk entry and the reappearance of Jah Wobble makes clear his creative commitment to his old friends at On-U. But most remarkably, and making his debut as a recording artist, is the twentieth centuries most radical scientist - the super-cool Albert Einstein, laying down a sweet rap with the most conscious of lyrics in "Language And Mentality". Of course, Albert was in the studio in spirit only and the exercise, to my knowledge, has never been repeated.

The title “Off The Beaten Track” was not just an example of a great piece of wordplay, but also incredibly apt as the music was not only a departure for On-U Sound, but also a landmark album for what was to become the whole new ethno-beat strand within the commercial category of what we now know as “World Music”. – Steve Barker
