Asian Dub Foundation
Keep Bangin’ On
The Walls
It’s albums like this that remind
how progressive UK music is. From the days of ‘Rafi’s
Revenge’ to the newest ADF album ‘Enemy of
the Enemy’ it is clear by this live album that ADF
are still going strong. What makes ADF so unique is the
cross culture synthesis of music and intellectual conscience
of lyrics. There are so many influences in ADF's music. ‘Their
distinctive sound is a combination of hard ragga-jungle
rhythms, indo-dub basslines, searing sitar- inspired guitars
and 'traditional' sounds gleaned from their parents' record
collections, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics’(taken
from ADF website).
I feel the guitar influence in their music gives them a
unique edge which could make even the hardest punk rocker
relate to their music. Keep Bangin’ on the walls
is a fast paced bass driven journey with times for spiritual
reflection. A definite must for the music progressive enthusiast.
