about

Speakers And Tweeters is the perfect fusion of hip-hop, ska, dub and disco, Messrs Ashworth and O'Bryan, now hone their craft with a few careful selected guests attractions.

Enlisting the services of 2-Tone deity Terry Hall, the group born out of the ashes of Déja Vu, once more takes centre stage in the contemporary dance arena. The former Specials front man is rightly the star turn, featured on a handful of cuts, most notably 'Gangsters' (an update of his 1979 chart topper); the Just Jack-like 'Running From The Thoughts'; and paired with US rapper T.K. on a tongue-in-cheek version of the Stranglers' 'Peaches'. The latter also featuring the cockney tones of wordsmith Rodney P, whose similarly wordy rhymes make 'Something To Trust' a keeper.

Picking up the Adrian Sherwood post-punk deconstructive fusion of dub and dance, the Dub Pistols follow a trail blazed by Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System over a decade earlier, but with more vivid colours and images then a box of Crayola. The prelude, 'Gave You Time', comes across like a lost master from Massive Attack's Blue Lines, and further underlines an album of refreshing depth and memorable highs. -- Lewis Dene, BBC
