Sound Patrol

Description

LP reissue of the essential second album by the pioneers of French electro-dub Zenzile's second album, after Sachem in Salem, Sound Patrol was, when it was released in March 2001, a small bombshell in the French underground music scene. It is no exaggeration to say that the record is one of the foundational stones of the French dub scene. In the same vein, but in a different genre, as High Tone's "Opus Incertum" or Improvisators Dub meets The Disciples' "Dub and Mixture," both released around the same time. What would later be called the French live dub scene, so characteristic and promising, was born at that moment, at the crossroads of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is the musical identity of the group that is forged here and that will serve as the basis for all future albums. It is also a definition (among others) of live dub that we are now beginning to consider as a musical style in its own right and no longer as a subgenre derived from reggae.
