Selene Songs (2LP + 10” Ltd Edition)

A document of chill-out room dreamscapes transmitted from San Francisco circa 1993-1994. Rooted in live improvisation and arriving at the sweet spot where nascent dance music collided with dub tradition, Selene Songs marked an early highpoint for Sunshine and Moonbeam Jones' enduring partnership as Dubtribe Sound System. This collection of dreamy, harmonious grooves and ambient excursions were recorded between November 1993 and January 1994, captured live in the chill-out room at the duo's legendary Come-Unity parties held at their home on Bryant Street in San Francisco. Selene Songs was originally released on Chicago-based label Organico in 1995 as a CD and abridged 12" EP. Now it receives a full reissue that spreads the blissed-out majesty of the full seven-track album across a double vinyl pressing and CD digipak edition. A limited edition version comes with an additional 10" featuring rare vinyl-only tracks 'Desert Moon (Luna del Sueño)' and 'Sunshine's Theme (Half Tab Acid Mix)'. Across all formats, Kristen Anderson's original artwork has been faithfully reproduced. “… All the elements of classic ambient dub with the Tribe’s own sense of love wonderment. One from the heart." - Muzik Mag - 1995 “ We have faith that the universally accessible warmth oozing from these tracks will eventually entice a larger audience." - Billboard - 1995 Number 1 on the Eastern Bloc shop chart - Muzik Mag - 1995
