Description

UK Dub pioneers Alpha & Omega (Greensleeves / A&O Records), amongst the very first to make dub music outside of Jamaica and instrumental in the soundsystem culture and bass music migration from Jamaica, via the UK, to the world. Formed in the 1980’s and with over 30 studio albums to their name. Finally, for the first time in three decades and to mark it’s 30 year anniversary Steppas Records present A&O’s classic LP “Overstanding”. A timeless and much sought after album originally released in 1991 currently only available at sky high prices via discogs if at all! Lovingly re-mastered and presented in the original sleeve featuring the iconic A&O artwork. Overstanding is a genre-defining album and a true piece of musical history.

PRESS:

“Enter a path few can follow, but many can appreciate. A studio or sound’s dub-plates are like a Shaolin monk’s sacred teachings. London-based Alpha & Omega take us into their world of mesmerising roots and divulge their exclusive ‘specials’.”
MUZIK

“Through minimal manipulation, (Alpha and Omega) deliver the listener to a place of great sonic peace.” OPTION MAGAZINE

“The compelling presences at the heart of these airy sonic worlds have a harder edge than some of their ancestors.”
WIRE

“Massively thunderous bass lines, galloping drum tracks and a willingness to tastefully adorn dubs with digital flutes and various electronic sounding washes.”
