Sheriff Lindo and The Hammer – Ten Dubs That Shook The World

There are certain albums which shake the world immediately upon release, and others which come from far underground and whose shocks and aftershocks rise to the surface gradually over the years, gaining momentum and power. “Ten Dubs That Shook The World” is of the latter type. Since its original vinyl release in 1988, the prescient impact of this Australian homemade dubwise solo massive by Anthony Maher aka Sheriff Lindo has become ever-more apparent and influential. With its dual island combination of Jamaican dub and UK industrial and post-punk, and the twinning of spaced electronic drums and effects with some very fine, superbly rooted bass lines, the tectonic “Ten Dubs” has proven to be a durable, doubly-solid shaker.

This 2025 edition is newly remastered based on the original Betacam master tape of the PCM recordings, and is again dedicated to the original producer John Blades, founder of the Endless Recordings label, who along with Maher and Richard Fielding constituted The Loop Orchestra. From deep underground in Australia, rising, reverberating and resonating across the globe, “Ten Dubs That Shook The World” vibrates on.
