The debut album from Asian Dub Foundation heralded an entirely new sound in what was soon to be known as the Asian Underground. Wielding spoken-word samples, snippets of bhangra and classical Indian music, hip hop and jungle beats, and heavy metal guitars — and fronted by a teenage rapper with an uncompromising political stance — Asian Dub Foundation blew in like a typhoon. Their sound would deepen and thicken by the time their next album was released, but Facts & Fictions laid out the foundation of that sound pretty comprehensively.
