It merged in the debut album DUB PLATE SELECTION Vol. 1 in 1995 and continued this pattern with rootical Jungle that could have come from some „nyabinghi“ session in Kingston...!!!

A deep round frequence that most electronic producers would die for to be able to create. It's that magical sound that feels completely natural, comforting supernaturally and powerful at the same time.

As ROB SMITH said recently : „ ...yes it's a killer album :) - and did you know that it was the first EVER artist based jungle/d&B album (even before Goldie's)...!!?? True it is and was...!

“This collection is definitely overdue. Rob Smith (ex-Smith & Mighty) and Peter D (part of the original Massive Attack line up), been producing some of the most moving and memorable dub influenced breakbeat for years as More Rockers. Every selection delivers a powerful blend of early 90’s breaks, the mixing board tweaks of King Tubby, the moodiest Bristol aesthetic and emotional vocal talent from guest....... more
