led by percussionist bonjo i, african head charge formed in the early '80s and has released seven albums with a shifting lineup that also included prisoner, crocodile, junior moses and sunny akpan. the band works in the same dub psychedelia territory as adrian sherwood's work, which isn't surprising since most of african head charge's albums have been released through - and produced by - sherwood and his on-u sound label. after debut album 'a hole in the ground' was released in 1981, african head charge released this album 'environmental studies' in 1983. there's jamaican dub and african pop filtering through their music, a taste of underground club music, an awareness of the rhythms and beats of music from all over the world, and an overarching love of abstract electronica and massive studio sound manipulation... there's also a lasting influence of eno and byrne's 'my life in the bush of ghosts'.
