Six melodic instrumental tracks presented in the traditional extended “discomix” showcase dub style, that lean heavily towards the sounds of late ’70s/early ’80s. The melodica carries echoes of Augustus Pablo, while the acoustic guitar gives the recordings a lighter, more atmospheric touch, reminiscent of Fazal Prendergast, before the dub mixes come in and cause havoc in a King Tubby/Scientist style. Guiding Shield is comprised of producers Liam McGurk from Partial Records and Dougie Wardrop from Conscious Sounds who both share instrument credits and production duties.
