マッド・プロフェッサー初期ワークが炸裂。Bernard CumberbatchとGarnett CrossのデュオAquizimが残した数少ないリリースの一つでAriwaの10インチクラシックが18年ぶりの久々リプレス。
Track List
Strong nyabinghi drum dubbings from 1981, with Mad Professor at the control. Huge flip of The Revolutionaries famous 70s classic, Kunta Kinte .
Bernard Cumberbatch - presumably no relation to actor Benedict - and Garnett Cross are Aquizi, the dub duo fromed in the early 80s and Ariwa label mainstays. Their most notable 12" - aside from maybe 1981's 'Merry Christmas' was 'Kunte Kinte' earlier in the same year. It is a bit of a collector's fav that has more than held its value over the ensuing 40+ years. Driven by lazy dub swagger and carefree keys, it's a lovers rock outing peppered with toms and hits and plenty of echoing depths. Flip it over for version if you want something that will boggle the brain more with its endless mixing board effects.

〈Ariwa Sounds〉から発表されたUKルーツ/ダブのデュオAquizimの81年作。ジャマイカの名リディム「Kunta Kinte」を下敷きに、ルーツ・レゲエの精神性とラヴァーズ・ロックの甘味を溶け合わせたUKダブ初期の名演。B面では若きマッド・プロフェッサーが真価を発揮し、ミキシング・デスクを楽器のように操った圧巻のダブ・ミックスを披露しています。
