THE WORLD MOVE ON A WOMEN'S HIPS

The world move on a women's hips - think it was david burn or talkin' head that have that as a line in their lyrics -
any way this time i want to post something from punk and something from reggae that sort of hybrid thang
and the New Age Steppers i think is the perfect example of what i am talking bout...
early eighties we got shook up by a new sound, On-U Sound it was
called. creation rebel, singers and players, and the New Age
Steppers are some of the groups formed from a much larger group,
all managed and almost directed by the master of sound, adrian
sherwood.
sherwood's effects , his bass and beats were and are of
a unique flavour. Today he also releases CD's under his own name,
but in those days he used to produce only. players of Prince
Far-I's band and other mainly jamaican artists dominate the sound
that is based on reggae.
this is the first of a big pile of On-U Sound LP's... i am posting it in flac and in mp3 formats so you get your pick
but back to case in hand just in case you have no idea who adrian sherwood is...
sherwood was co-founder of Carib Gems and Pressure Sounds, and founder of Hitrun Records as well as Green Tea Records and Soundboy Records. He is also the fourth member of industrial hip-hop outfit Tackhead, credited as "mixologist."
During the early 1980s he brought together many Jamaican artists under the collective name of Singers and Players including Prince Far I, Mikey Dread, Bim Sherman and many others, this helped promote the individual artists at the same time as promoting the record label, On-U Sound Records. He also worked with Suns of Arqa on many of their early records.^[3]
In 1986, he began working with Jamaican dub producer and singer Lee Perry. They produced the classic album Time Boom X De Devil Dead and sherwood's support helped relaunch perry's career.

He made contributions to the industrial genre in his remix of Einstürzende Neubauten's song "Yü Gung" on the album Halber Mensch, as well as his production work with Ministry, Cabaret Voltaire, KMFDM, Terminal Power Company and Nine Inch Nails. Adrian has also delved into the blues, producing Little Axe's Real World Records release Champagne & Grits in 2006.
In 2003, sherwood supported Blur at wolverhampton civic hall. the same year, sherwood released his first album as a solo artist, Never Trust a Hippy, which featured collaborations with various artists such as Sly & Robbie, Steven "Lenky" Marsden, Carlton "Bubblers" Ogilvie and Jazzwad.
In 2006 he released his second album Becoming a Cliché that again featuring numerous artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, the late Bim Sherman, Dennis Bovell, Little Roy, Lee "LSK" Kenny, Samia Farah, Raiz and Mark Stewart. A limited 2-disc version was released simultaneously with the second disc titled Dub Cliché.
On beginning a solo career, sherwood stated, "I wanted to do some of my own writing and make something that was challenging for me... As a producer, it's my job to satisfy the artist foremost. I wanted to make something that was a little more aggressive and modern. I wanted to paint a picture that was contemporary, one that specifically showed where my brain was at. I've got to the point in my life where it's time for me to call all of the shots."^[4]
most recently, sherwood produced the original score for the 2006 independent film, Johnny Was starring Vinnie Jones, Roger Daltrey and Samantha Mumba.
