Originally released in 1983, Drastic Season is the third album from African Head Charge, the innovative project operating within the On-U Sound label's boundary-pushing roster. Producer Adrian Sherwood himself described the record as "experiments in active frequencies, out of time noises, rhythms within rhythms, and endless tape edits" — a fitting introduction to a sound that blends reggae and electronic music into something entirely its own.
Drastic Season stands as a landmark of the On-U Sound catalog, showcasing African Head Charge at a creative peak where their music genuinely defied categorization. This 2016 vinyl release features a printed inner sleeve and etched runouts, making it a worthy way to experience one of the more adventurous and singular records to emerge from the early 1980s UK underground scene.
