{"product_id":"dub-syndicate-strike-the-balance","title":"Dub Syndicate - Trouver l'équilibre","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrike the Balance presents Dub Syndicate at their most playful, a 1989 On-U Sound session where the covers are almost as strange as the original tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the late 1980s, the formula was well established: Style Scott was recording beats with Jamaica's top session musicians, Adrian Sherwood was taking the tapes back to London and reworking them into something that sounded like dub heard through a wall in the next building. This album marks the moment when this partnership gained enough confidence to be funny. It oscillates between a serious reverence for tradition and a truly mischievous streak, sometimes within the same song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuss Cuss brings in Bim Sherman to sing over Lloyd and Devon's beat, and her voice has always been the most beautiful thing on every record she appears on. Je T'aime is the pure and simple provocation of the record, a version of Serge Gainsbourg's song with Shara Nelson, years before Massive Attack made it famous, performed with a seriousness that makes it effective. Mafia stretches to over seven minutes of pure heavy dub, and Hawaii is as absurd and charming as its title promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen songs, and the flow never lets you settle down. This was Sherwood's real trick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinylestore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910333792333,"sku":"5056614797930","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9131\/7325\/files\/Dub_Syndicate_-_Strike_The_Balance.jpg?v=1794005690","url":"https:\/\/vinylestore.shop\/products\/dub-syndicate-strike-the-balance","provider":"Vinylestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
