We had enough good ones to make an album so that's why we released Dubplate Selection Vol. 1. As we released more albums we had more dubplates to release. We've had a long gap but after our recent releases we felt it was about time for a new Dubplate Selection Vol 3. It includes mixes from the last 3 albums›. UK dub pioneers since 1990, A&O have worked with the likes of Greensleeves, Lee ˜Scratch™ Perry, Jah Shaka and Gregory Isaacs. A&O are a roots dub duo that mix both analogue and digital elements, comprising Christine Woodbridge and John Sprosen, both of whom had played in reggae bands previously, Sprosen also having worked with the Roaring Lion Sound System. They began working together in the mid-1980s, splitting their time between their home towns of London and Plymouth, and issued their debut home-recorded cassette in 1988. They were picked up by Greensleeves Records, who acted as a parent company to the duo™s A&O label, and also worked with Jah Shaka, for whom they supplied rhythm tracks. Although they are strongly influenced by artists such as Lee šScratch› Perry, King Tubby and Augustus Pablo, they have developed a sound that has been described as šuniquely British›. In a review of their Mystical Things album, Rick Anderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote: šThis prolific London-based duo is responsible for some of the most convincing old-school reggae to come from the first world.› Wikipedia PRESS QUOTES šEnter a path few can follow, but many can appreciate.

London-based Alpha & Omega take us into their world of mesmerising roots and divulge their exclusive ˜specials™.› Muzik šThrough minimal manipulation, (Alpha and Omega) deliver the listener to a place of great sonic peace.› Option magazine šThe compelling presences at the hear of these airy sonic worlds have a harder edge than some of their ancestors.› The Wire šMassively thunderous bass lines, galloping drum tracks and a willingness to tastefully adorn dubs with digital flutes and various electronic sounding washes.› Pulse
