The Asian Dub Foundation's heyday is long gone yet the British sound system is back, stirring its melting pot of ethnic dub-punk and drum and bass.

Sadly, ADF's sound borders on passe on this, its seventh studio album. But it is heartening that the collective has lost none of its socio-politically charged fire.

A History of Now is as much a protest album as Facts and Fictions was in 1995 and that alone deserves kudos.

Stars: 3/5
