This album is a bit different from all the other Ashley sets. The tracks here are a bit sparser than usual. The bass, the drums, and the skank dominate proceedings throughout.
The song 'In A De Ghetto' opens this collection. Followed by the raw dub version, the song is influenced by the dancehall roots tunes of the early 80s. In fact, many of the tracks take inspiration from the most in demand session band of that era, the Roots Radics, and Scientist, the top reggae recording engineer and dub mixer at the time.
Ashley decided to go back to basics on this album. Pure, authentic dub - straight to babylon institution head!
