Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). That said, this is a wonderful album filled with great songs that still sound fresh and relevant 25 years later.

Bass Culture is tremendous, another successful collaboration between Johnson and Bovell with songs that are, at times, even more confrontational (. "Inglan is a Bitch") than anything he had previously recorded. I will admit that the Dub Band sounds better on Forces of Victory, but Johnson is hitting his stride at the time of this release and experimenting with song structure and lyrics a little more (. not everything is explicitly political here).
