Sampler

Zion Train - Dub RevolutionariesSet for release on the 16th of June is a 2CD “Best Of” collection from one of the UK’s leading reggae influenced acts Zion Train. The album has been compiled by lifelong Zion colleagues Maken of Warsaw and Les Earthdoctor of Wales, with the bands full cooperation and along with many of their hits will include vinyl-only rarities and a never before released radio session for John Peel.

Zion Train started out in the late 80s as a sound system fusing dub with minimal-techno & global influences which helped to redefine dub music in the 90s. In 2007 they received recognition for all their hard work in pushing the boundaries of reggae and dance music when their ninth studio album, 'Live as One', received the hugely coveted 'Best Dub Album' at the Jamaican Reggae Grammys.

During the bands past twenty odd years they have toured extensively taking them from the UK to the USA and across Asia, South America and back through Europe helping them to become one of the most popular live dub acts in the world today.
