Blessed be the man that Walketh not In the counsel of the
Ungodly. Nor standeth in the ways of Sinners. Nor sitteth
in the seat of the Scornful. For I delight is in RAC
Therefore I&I must be like a tree Planted by the rivers
of Water. And bringeth forth Fruit in due season.
And what so ever I doeth shall Prosper
The weakhearted are Not so, Oh no!
They are like the Chaff that the wind Driveth away.
Therefore no weakheartman Shall stand in the Judgement
Nor no Sinners in the congregation of the Righteous.
RAC knoweth the ways of the Righteous
And know that the ways of the Weakheart shall crumble,
paralyse and Burn
- RAC the Godly Roots Crew -

' `
As the duo, Alpha and Omega, Christine Woodbridge and John
Sprosen have created a style of Dub, the remixing offshoot
of reggae, that is uniquely British. While they were
initially influenced by the dub recordings of Lee "Scratch"
Perry, King Tubby and Augustus Pablo, Woodbridge and Sprosen
have continued to evolve their own sound. "Option" magazine
explained, "through minimal manipulation, (Alpha and Omega)
deliver the listener to a place of great sonic peace".
According to "The Wire", "The compelling presences at the
hear of these airy sonic worlds have a harder edge than some
of their ancestors'. "Pulse!" dug even deeper into their
explanation of Alpha and Omega's sound, which they described
as, "massively thunderous bass lines, galloping drum tracks
and a willingness to tastefully adorn dubs with digital
flutes and various electronic sounding washes". Bassist
Woodbridge, one of reggae's few woman instrumentalists, and
keyboardist Sprosen began working together after meeting in
the southwestern coastal city of Plymouth in Devon, England.
Both musicians had previously played in various reggae bands
and Sprosen had worked with the Roaring Lion Sound System.
Pooling their resources, Woodbridge and Sprosen spent
several years recording rhythm tracks prior to releasing
their debut album, Daniel in the Lion's Den, as a cassette
that they released on their own label, A & O, in 1990. Two
years later, the duo signed with Greensleeves, keeping the
imprint A &O as part of the agreement. Alpha and Omega have
continued to collaborate with other British reggae bands.
The duo supplied rhythm tracks for Jah Shaka and appeared on
the indie-dance band Flowered Up's single, "The Reggae
Song". The duo was accompanied by the Disciples on their
1997 album, Sacred Art of Dub; Mystical Things followed
three years later and Dub Philosophy appeared in summer
2001. ù Craig Harris
