Eeyun & The Co-operators - Vibrations from the Bionic Tabernacle

"When mixing both 'Rhythms from the Kitchen Sink' & 'Beating the Doldrums' I tried by best to mixdown dubs of all of the tunes alongside their vocal counterparts. Many of these tunes never made their way on to 7" 45 and as a consequence the dubs remained largely unheard since being mixdown.
The classic dub albums of the 70s such as Scratch's ' Super Ape' and Phillip Fullwood's 'Words in Dub' (two name just two of my favourites) have remained a huge influence on my work as a musician and producer since I first heard them. As the tunes fermented in the Waggle Dance Studio archives for a few years I began to think of making a dub album combining these forgotten cuts. Rather than re-dubbing the tunes (as it is always tempting to revisit) I thought it best to keep the vibes and sounds as close to the original vocal mixes as possible and use those original versions to make an album that became 'Vibrations from the Bionic Tabernacle'. The album consists of 4 tracks off each the first two albums, all of which are previously unreleased.
It is a pleasure to be finally releasing this LP with two labels that have been integral to the growth of The Co-Operators. Woodland Records released our first ever single and Warrior Charge released one of our favourite singles to date 'Living Dead/All Night Skanking' and all that aside the people behind both labels are great friends of ours".
