A decade later, SONGS OF PRAISE finds African Head Charge and Sherwood still fully capable of innovation.

Songs Of Praise' was a massive underground hit in the UK and deservedly so. Sherwood's production is top notch, subtle throughout and in-yer-face only when absolutely required. Constructed of sampled African rhythms, SOP in many ways represents the seminal coming of age of ambient/dub/tribal music. The samples are treated and used respectfully resulting in tracks are spiritually uplifting but with a grounded dub feel

But then, African Head Charge (a band with a constantly changing membership led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah) doesn't really make typical reggae albums. Although the one-drop beat (provided on this album by Lincoln "Style" Scott) influences everything and the basslines have a typical tidal undertow, the stuff that Noah layers on top of the mix has more to do with ethnomusicology than the dancehall.

African Head Charge, is a British psychedelic dub reggae band, founded in 1980 by percussionist Bonjo I (Bonjo Iyanbinghi Noah). The group released most of its albums on Adrian Sherwood's label, On-U Sound, and the music has been named Sherwoods vision of a psychedelic Africa. Their debute studio album My Life in a Hole in the Ground was released 1981 and their latest, Voodoo of The Godsent 2011.

African Head Charge soon became On-U Sound's most popular act, and though they had not played a live date during the first four albums, the group hit the road and began to do live shows. After a break of several years, they returned in 1991 with Songs of Praise and then released In Pursuit of Shashamane Land in 1994 and Akwaaba a year later. See All. Doug Wimbish.
