Simply Conscious Dub Eternal Now

Spiritual World’s first archival 12″ vinyl release from the UKs free festival dub pioneers.

The Ullulators, an experimental dub and world music ensemble from Bath, UK, have long been associated with the UKs free festival movement, tracing their creative lineage back to the mid-1980s. For the first time ever, two pivotal tracks from their early cassette-only discographySimply Conscious Dub and Eternal
Noware being issued on 12 vinyl, marking the first archival release on Spiritual World.

The A-side, Simply Conscious Dub, originally featured on the 1986 cassette Beyond the Gates of Ull, exemplifies the bands signature fusion of weighty dub rhythms with expansive and euphoric electronics.
In contrast, the B-side, Eternal Now, drawn from the 1985 cassette Share a Calm with the Ullulators, ventures into more introspective sonic territory. Built on minimalist structures and ambient textures, it evokes the kosmische tradition and aligns with the spatial sensibilities of Manuel Gttschings E2-E4.

Together, these tracks not only showcase the groups wide stylistic range but also underscore their forward-thinking approach to genre hybridity. This release stands as a unique document of a formative era in theevolution of UK underground, dub, and ambient music.
