Earlier this year reissue giants Pressure Sounds released the much sought after dub album The War is On - Dub Style, a set produced by Phil Pratt, recorded in Jamaica and mixed at Easy Street Studios in London by rock man Stuart Breed.
The original album was releashose cuts, but the CD is expanded by another four songs, all presented in extended versions.
And the real gem on this release is actually one of the bonus tracks - Owen Grey’s haunting Hear We Them A Say. The dub version - Dancing Kid - is included on the vinyl release, and luckily Owen Grey’s vocal is also released as a separate 12”.
The War is On is an ambient journey and the first four tracks comes with a prominent melodica played skilfully by keys man Bobby Kalphat. Then there is the lingering piano on the slow and meditative The Good The Bad and The Brave.
A superb album that is finally available again.
The War Is On, Dub Style was released on April 6th, 2018 and is available from Pressure Sounds on LP, CD and digital download.
