Warzone by The Missing Brazilians

Another Science Fiction Dancehall Classic! Originally released in 1984, this is one of the most envelope-pushing records on the On-U Sound label: a rhythmic collision of noise, dub and electronics. Adrian Sherwood pushed the possibilities of the studio to the limit, capturing dystopian mid-80s cold war menace with layers of spatially-disorientating percussion, alien keyboard sounds and teeth-rattling distortion. Features vocal contributions from Shara Nelson (Massive Attack) and Annie Anxiety (Crass Records).

The Missing Brazilians project was a collaboration between Adrian Sherwood and On-U co-founder Kishi Yamamoto (also responsible for the classic sleeve design and striking photography that adorns the early releases). The result was a dense set of experimental dub and electronic music with a wide dynamic range and daring employment of saturated textures.
