One of my favorite reggae dub albums. Each song frames Robbie Shakespeare's basslines with virtuoso reggae drumming complete with lots of spaced out reverb and some impressively understated bongo work. Extremely well-produced, reminds me of the best of King Tubby's dub work. Each song is supposed to represent a different drug, so there is quite a bit of variation of moods and tones used but it remains cohesive nonetheless. A relaxing album that never gets boring or tedious.
