African Head Charge - Head Room Extension pt.1 [1981-2011]

If one project stands for my motto „... and you will know us by a trail of drums” than African Head Charge is the one. From roots reggae tunes via african tribal drumming to polyrhtmic studio experiments you will find everything. In January 2004 I created a double Cd album for a few friends of mine with the extracts of my African Head Charge, Noah House of Dread (Bongo´s Roots band) and Institute of Dubology (members of AHC colaboration) collection (taken from 7 and 12 inch singles and albums on vinyl and cd, 1981 to 2003). Now is the time to update and re-edit this and fill it up with some fresh 2011 tracks. Stay tuned, pt.2 will follow. For a complete AHC discography and more information check www.skysaw.org. And never forget to have a look at the offical On-U Sound site.
