A new Adrian Sherwood release is always something worth giving one's attention to. A 10" Discoplate release under his own name would seem to be worth one's absolute full attention. The four track EP, titled The Grand Designer, comes out this Friday and has been trailed by a track of the same name. It's a superb piece of dub music, spiritual almost, with a wonderful groove and array of FX laid over the top- sirens going off, hisses of cymbal and percussion, a snatch of guitar, deep bass, explosions and growls, bongos, pianos, whatever... it's beautifully realised and perfectly produced.
The other tracks include Let's Come Together complete with vocals from the departed Lee Scratch Perry and two that promise a lot just by their titles- Russian Oscillator and Cold War Skank. The vinyl is unfortunately sold out but the digital is available here.
