A wonderful way to spend 15 minutes of your time, which gets off to a great start with the Victor Lewis-Smith crank call sample. From the ‘UFOrb’ album, which has definitely aged well, I it was around this time that myself and Peter Pulford went to see them at The Mountford Hall in Liverpool. I have very fragmented memories of that evening, only that it was the beginning of my final year at university, having just returned from a year studying in New Jersey. As can be seen from the setlist, ‘Towers Of Dub’ was played. Detail is sketchy however. I went to a lot of gigs there and they are all one big sensory lump inside a vast space. There’s something very English and pastoral about this track (as well as Jamaican, obvs); the whimsy sets in quickly and it feels like the soundtrack to one of those perfect summer’s days you only get in a place that’s used to so many shit ones.
