Alpha and Omega are perhaps the leading producers in the UK of the new dub sound system movement inspired by Jah Shaka, Mad Professor, Zion Train, and Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound.
"Pure listening pleasure for lovers of thick, languid intense Dub." - The Beat
"Under the guise of Alpha & Omega, Christine Woodbridge and John Sprosen have been making some of the most spiritually-charged roots reggae of the contemporary heavyweight UK dub persuasion, sing their formation in Plymouth nearly a decade ago." - New Musical Express
From AMG:
"Alpha and Omega's Sound System Dub is their first official U.S. release, even though they've had several titles available as imports. Purveyors of the dub/reggae style, the duo effortlessly composes meditative tunes that both relax and comfort the listener. This is especially evident on Sound System Dub, with all of the tracks being remixed versions of songs selected from their seven prior releases. Highlights include the previously unreleased "Africa/Ethiopa," as well as the liquid sounding-dubs "Who Is the Ruler" (which includes vocals from Woodbridge), the repetitive bass of "Sharu Att Our Aunt," the ethereal "Dub Flute," and the album's opener, "Rastafari." Sound System Dub serves as the perfect introduction to new fans since this is a 'best of" of sorts, and because these tracks are all worthwhile newly-remixed versions, this album also does a good job of appealing to longtime fans. For fans of expertly-crafted, inventive reggae, Alpha and Omega's Sound System Dub is highly recommended." - Greg Prato
