“There is a mystic association between the most ancient of English themes and the boomingest dub reggae, a link that Dreadzone, Ultramarine and The Orb have highlighted. It rises once again on this album by unconventional Yorkshire-born folk-roots artist Ian King – “a dry-stone waller by trade and a punk by nature” – who partners up with dub king Adrian Sherwood for this fascinating record. ‘Panic Grass And Fever Few‘ takes English folk songs, traditional ballads, political broadsides and a few of King’s originals and transposes them into the pulse and throb of modern production. It’s not a reggae album as such but metaphorically it puts a dash of Lee “Scratch” into your glass of English perry. “
