Electro - Dub Pioneers

Zion Train are UK Dub Music Pioneers, involved in Alternative and DIY Culture and purveyors of fine Roots Reggae.

ZION TRAIN

Zion Train was formed by Perch (live dub mixing), in 1990, who was later joined by Molara (voice), Tench, Cod (melodica), Hake (trumpet), Forkbeard (trombone).
From 2001 to 2005, the Dubdadda added extra vocals and Bigga replaced Forkbeard on trombone in 2001.

The live line-up is flexible, varying from Perch and a vocalist for soundsystem gigs, to the full band for bigger gigs.

From 2005 Zion Train have a variety of guest vocalists such as Fitta Warri and Kenny Knots alongside Molara.
Zion Train have been one of the planet’s most prolific groups, producing everything from music to magazines, CD-ROMs to Internet sites to sound systems.

Their early releases were on their own label Universal Egg from 1991, until in 1995 they signed to China Records; when they released the world’s first promotional dub music video for the ‘Get Ready’ single.

Back on their own Universal Egg label since 1999, they have continued to release quality dub, electronic, and world dance music. Their work from the past decade still sounds fresh to today’s discerning ears.

Their recorded output is prolific - eight albums in 12 years and innumerable production credits, remixes and song writing collaborations.

2001 saw Zion Train celebrate their tenth anniversary as a band and as curators of Universal Egg. Zion Train’s eighth album ‘Original Sounds of the Zion’ released on Universal Egg in the Spring of 2002, features the beautiful tones of regular vocalist Molara along with contributions from Levi Roots, Dubdadda and crooner Pat Fulgoni of funk outfit Kava Kava. Also reknowned UK brass section Crispy Horns and guitarist Marcus Campbell, playing on his first Zion Train album.
With Cod on melodica and DJ Perch’s amazing mixing dexterity the album is a mixture of melodic songs, dancefloor beats and deep dub.

The latest Zion Train album ‘Original Sounds Of The Zion Remixed’ features remixes of ‘Original Sounds Of The Zion’ by such luminaries as Vibronics, Twilight Circus, Smith and Mighty, Banco De Gaia and Transglobal Underground.

It was released in October 2004 on CD and double vinyl (Universal Egg WWCD/LP038)
2005 will see the reissue of the bands seminal and long Unavailable first, second and third albums, namely; ‘A Passage To Indica’, ‘ Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub’ and Siren - all remastered for 2005.
