 Not very many reggae/dub albums acknowledge Alan Lomax in the credits. But then, African Head Charge (a band with a constantly changing membership led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah) doesn't really make typical reggae albums.
Although the one-drop beat (provided on this album by Lincoln "Style" Scott) influences everything and the basslines have a typical tidal undertow, the stuff that Noah layers on top of the mix has more to do with ethnomusicology than the dancehall.
The song titles say it all: "Cattle Herders Chant," a field recording of call-and-response chanting overlaid with Nyahbinghi drums and highlife guitar; "My God," eerie, minor-key African-American church singing supported by a chugging reggae bass line, bare-bones drumming, and the sound of running water; "Deer Spirit Song," an unidentifiable indigenous song in 9/8 meter with a gently driving rockers beat and occasional sound effects thrown in.
This is an exceptionally beautiful album, but in a deeply strange way.

Side 1:
Free Chant (Churchical Chant Of The Iyabinghi) (3:30)
Orderliness, Godliness, Discipline And Dignity (3:16)
Hymn (5:30)
Dervish Chant (7:50)

Hold Some More (6:18)
Healing Father (4:46)
Healing Ceremony (3:48)
Cattle Herders Chant (4:15)

Plays as-new throughout with little to fault - an odd tick noted - nothing really - but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins
