The product of the fertile and prolific British producer, mixmaster, and dub genius
Adrian Sherwood,
Creation Rebel was one of
Sherwood's first endeavors as a producer. Originally the backing group for the late reggae great
Prince Far-I,
Creation Rebel worked with
Sherwood from 1977-1980, recording some of the best reggae dub music this side of
Lee Perry during the early English punk era. Languorous, funky, spacy, and totally intoxicating, it's exciting to hear the awesome production/mixing talents of
Sherwood in their early days. Similarly, the band (drummers
Style Scott and
Fish Clarke, bassist Clinton Jack, keyboardist Bigga Morrison, guitarist Crucial Tony, and percussionist Slicker) play with a grace, effortlessness, and power that most studio bands would kill to achieve. With the band's talents so wonderfully used by
Sherwood, this is without a doubt some of the best and most important non-rock music to be made in England in the late '70s. ~ John Dougan
