A landmark release from the On-U Sound stable, The Pounding System (Ambience In Dub) marks the very beginning of Dub Syndicate's storied journey. Originally released in 1982 and helmed by the legendary Adrian Sherwood, this album captures the first iteration of the group before the arrival of drummer Lincoln "Style" Scott, offering a raw and foundational glimpse into the dub sound that would define the On-U Sound label.
Reissued in 2017 and mastered by Kevin Metcalfe at Utopia with vinyl cut by Helmut Erler at Duplates & Mastering, this pressing delivers the album's deep, hypnotic grooves with care and fidelity. Blending reggae's rhythmic backbone with expansive electronic ambience, the record showcases tracks like the sozzled, splashing "10K at 0VU - 60HZ - Mind Boggles!" alongside the rare bonus track "Gather At The River," previously available only as part of a Japanese release in 2011.
