Zion Train
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zion Train is a dub reggae ensemble formed in 1990 in London, England. The group's nucleus is DJ Neil Perch, performing amidst a frequently changing lineup. Their initial releases were the 7" singles "Power One" and "Power Two", which became hits on the dub scene in the early 1990s. Their second album, Natural Wonders of the World in Dub, hit the UK indie charts in 1994 and was followed by several small-issue EPs. Additionally, they worked on remixes for The Shamen, Afro Celt Sound System, Loop Guru, Kava Kava (band) and others. They released both vinyl and CD material on their own label, Universal Egg, until 1995, when they signed with China Records. They returned to their own label in 1999. Much of their back catalog was reissued in 2005.
