On U Sound is a UK based experimental reggae/dub label founded by Adrian Sherwood. With a rich history and an impressive catalogue of releases, the label has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. Adrian Sherwood, also known as *Skip* (artist credits page), is not only the founder but also operates as an artist on the label. It's important to note that On U Sound should not be confused with the US based DJ/club remix label ON-USound.

Related labels such as Pressure Sounds and Green Tea are part of the On U Sound family, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles. EFA released some remastered titles with slightly altered cover artwork before going under in 2004. However, On-U Sound was relaunched in 2002 and made a powerful comeback with Little Axe's album 'Stone Cold Ohio' which marked its resurgence.

If you're looking for newer releases from On U Sound, keep an eye out for catalogue numbers starting from ON-U CD 1001 and higher. The Phonographic Copyright (p) and Copyright (c) belong to On-U Sound Records Ltd., ensuring that their unique sound remains protected.

Creation Rebel is a UK based group of reggae musicians. They are highly regarded in the reggae music scene and have been used as a backing band by various reggae singers when touring the UK. Additionally, they have served as the 'house' band for Adrian Sherwood's Hitrun and On-U Sound labels. Their unique sound and musical talent have made them a sought-after group in the industry.

With influences from dub, reggae, and other genres, Creation Rebel has created a distinct style that sets them apart from other artists. Their collaborations with renowned performers such as *Dub Syndicate*, *New Age Steppers*, *Dennis Bovell*, and *African Head Charge* have further solidified their reputation in the music world.

As part of Adrian Sherwood's projects, Creation Rebel has contributed to numerous successful albums released under his labels. Their contributions can also be found alongside esteemed artists like *Bim Sherman*, *Singers And Players*, *Twilight Circus Dub Sound System*, and many others who have worked with Sherwood over the years.

A true dub classic from 1980 – backwards tapes drenched in interplanetary sound effects, ghostly voices from beyond the stars and ringing percussion – one of the most out-there attempts to push the limits of dub reggae beyond the final frontier ever recorded. Featuring members of the Roots Radics, Misty In Roots and Prince Far I’s Arabs. Originally the sole release on pre-On-U Sound label 4D Rhythms, a young Adrian Sherwood remixed and re-recorded a tape of older reggae rhythms, overdubbing a ton of new percussion and FX, flipping the tape over, and generally abusing the reel-to-reel in any way possible. The result is something utterly deranged and unique in the already pretty out-there annals of dub. It was also rumoured to be the planned soundtrack of a Don Letts-directed film about “alien dreads from beyond the stars”.
