African Head Charge

African Head Charge is a psychedelic dub ensemble active since 1981.[1] The group was formed by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah,[2] and featured a revolving cast of members, including Prisoner, Nick Plytas, Crocodile, Junior Moses, Sunny Akpan, Skip McDonald, Gaudi and Jah Wobble. The group released most of its albums on Adrian Sherwood's label, On-U Sound.[1]

Journalist David Stubbs, writing in The Wire, said, "The notion of African Head Charge was hatched when Adrian Sherwood read Brian Eno's comment about his vision for a 'psychedelic Africa'".[3]

Many of their early albums have been re-released as double albums on CD.[1]
