Seminal classic album by the dub pioneer and ''The Dark Prince of Reggae'', here Hudson lays down the arguably his most well-known work after living in the UK for five years in a moment of re-evaluation and reflection. The song to check out is his classic track ''Turn The Heater On'', which was later covered by the popular group from Manchester and remnants of Joy Division, New Order on one of their John Peel sessions. This album incorporates a very expressionist feel of dub not in the known form of dub, being a treatment of an existing song, but incorporating long instrumentals. Hudson was known for a variety of peculiarities, such as an off-key singer, lyrics exploring morbid themes and the fact that a lot of his music is increasingly difficult to obtain.
