The New Age Steppers – The New Age Steppers (Vinyl LP, On-U Sound) – Mint / Sealed

The New Age Steppers’ self-titled debut is a key collision of post-punk, dub and reggae, originally released in 1981. Produced by Adrian Sherwood, the album brings together musicians from the UK post-punk and reggae underground, with Ari Up’s unmistakable vocals at the centre of its raw, heavily dubbed sound. Highlights include “Fade Away,” “Radial Drill,” “Crazy Dreams and High Ideals” and “Love Forever.”
