Dubmaster Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell presents cLOUD mUsIc, loose-limbed, funk-forward dub on the A-side and blunted, spaced-out versions on the flip. A pioneer of dub and progenitor of lovers rock, Bovell's prolific career spans dub poetry, afrobeat, post-punk, disco, and pop, with production for Ryuichi Sakamoto, The Slits, Fela Kuti, Linton Kwesi Johnson, and The Pop Group. These eight deep, never-heard cuts were initially created for the UK library label FOLD, written under the influence of cloud-watching, and run from the disco-flecked "Rebel Funk" to the calypso-style "Callaloo" and breezy closer "Wind Up, Dub Down." Mastered and cut by Simon Francis and Cicely Balston, pressed to the highest quality at Record Industry in Holland.
