Album Notes

IN 1989, ROIR, then a cassette-only company, released this title to rave reviews from the reggae and dub press. It helped introduce the brilliant UK dub mixer, The Mad Professor, to the American public and it became a really substantial seller and a dub classic.

PULS DER ZEIT (Pulse of Time) were an underground German reggae/dub band fronted by the mysterious Nico-like Soer La Blanche (White Sister), who were dub-obsessed and produced by Peter Vinyl. The Mad Professor, at the time, was quickly becoming one of the world’s “new dub” legends, rivaling Jah Shaka and Adrian Sherwood of On-U Sound for his extremely eccentric and psychedelic heavy-bass reggae-influenced rhythms.

PULS DER ZEIT, and their producer Peter Vinyl, met The Mad Professor in 1983 and became mutually enamored, working jointly on a variety of records and experimental musical projects. The resulting fusion of talent, temperament, bonding and love for the roots of reggae resulted in this release, which we are now digitally remastering for CD.
