sound iration: seventh seal

Seventh Seal, originally released in 1988, was the blueprint for what would become the UK dub/roots scene, inspiring many others make bass-heavy dub music with a lean towards Jah Shaka sound system and the likes of Augustus Pablo and King Tubby. Still sounding fresh, this mid-paced stepper (mostly instrumental, apart from an intro from Tena Stelin) features a hypnotic repetitive rhythm features melodica and hints of flute. The original on the Mystic Red Corporation label and has been fetching up to £100 plus on the collectors' market. Sound Iration were made up of Scruff Gilder and Nick Manasseh.
