I can im away till tue, will go through a little list for you on wed.

Lidj Inc. was xylon and issu and they had that album plus the dub and there was a various artists album 'dred beat showcase', then they vanished

xylon's vocals is an aquired taste, but the dub album was nice as i recall in that early modern roots style of the 1990s

thanks bullit, and ites, ya i bought both the vocal and dub LPs from lidj back in the day, also the sound iration LP and a 12 called seventh seal. its amazing dub. i quite like the lidj vocal style myself. would like to hear more of that stuff.
