CD Asian Dub Foundation – 94 – Now : Collaborations (30 Years Anniversary)

Asian Dub Foundation celebrates three decades of sonic rebellion with 94 – Now: Collaborations, a definitive collection showcasing their 30-year legacy as one of the UK’s most vital and idiosyncratic bands. This special anniversary release, issued via X-Ray Production, is far more than a "best of" compilation; it is a high-octane journey through the group’s unique fusion of jungle, dub, punk, and Bhangra.

The album features a powerhouse roster of legendary guest artists across eleven tracks, including rock icon Iggy Pop on a radical reinvention of "No Fun," Sinéad O’Connor and Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien on the hypnotic dub of "1000 Mirrors," and Chuck D on a ferocious live version of "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos."

Key highlights include:

• "Comin' Over Here" (ft. Stewart Lee): The satirical anti-racist anthem and surprise number-one single.
• "Broken Britain" (ft. Chowerman): A brand new, relentless Indo-punk/jungle track recorded specifically for this release.
• "Taa Deem" (ft. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan): A masterful blend of traditional Qawwali and gritty electronic beats.
• "Free Satpal Ram" (ft. Primal Scream): An intense, hard-hitting hip-hop/rock fusion.

Whether it’s the straight-up jungle of "Culture Move" or the "archaeological love song" of "Raj Antique Store," this collection serves as a testament to ADF’s enduring relevance and their status as a genre unto themselves.
