alpha omega. a king of breakbeats. fucking amazing.
i credit seventy eight percent of my philosophy and outlook on jungle music to the creations of Colin Lindo aka Alpha Omega aka Nubian Minds aka one half of Special Touch.
his breaks are subtle at times, but endlessly complex and paradoxical at others. his newest album, "Word Of Mouth," is an unmistakable example of the range and depth in the wide spectrum of his music. He builds mile high skyscrapers on water, then destroys them in a single break. The intensity can make a cactus cry. The pressure can crush the world into the head of a pen. And the colors are more numerous than those of the visual color spectrum.
check out his new album (i only found it on cd)
it has liner notes by peter k
and some amazing tracks
and a delicious edible plastic case
tastes like chicken

Alpha Omega/Nubian Minds Biography
Alpha Omega / Nubian Minds________________________________ Alpha Omega a.k.a Colin Lindo a.k.a Nubian Minds has been constantly pushing the boundaries of cutting edge Drum and Bass since his ground breaking debut release, Outer Dimensions, on the equally ground breaking and legendary Reinforced imprint. Since then he has gone on to forge a universal respect within the scene and has firmly established his presence on the D&B industry. Having created a successful recording partnership with Reinforced Records, Alpha Omega has further broadened his horizons with releases on established labels such as Outbreak Records, T.O.V., Advanced (C.I.A's sister label), Invader, Slow Motion, Armour Plated, and Noir, as well as continuing his impressive catalogue of material on Reinforced. 2004 saw Alpha Omega branch out even further afield with releases on established American labels such as Nemcronic and Offshore Recordings, while also dropping an aural masterpiece of first class muzica on the respected Thermal Records imprint. This should see the Alpha Omega name becoming fully established State side.Now going full circle & returning to his dj'ing / soundsystem background, Alpha Omega will surely become a household name in the near future. With the current DJ buzz, on anything Alpha Omega and after completing the movie soundtrack to Fist Of The North Star with various Reinforced artists, this year and beyond will see this artist continue to push the boundaries and continue his astonishing musical development. _______________________________________________________________________ Further testament to this is his impressive catalogue under the Nubian Minds moniker which began back in 1998 on the much respected Italian imprint Archive Records, which culminated in the New World Chaos LP released in 1999 to resounding critical acclaim. This was interweaved with well received releases on the mighty 2000 Black label and remixes for artists ranging from P'Taah to 4 Hero. With the ethos of Nubian Minds firmly on soulful beats with an undeniable urban menace, the future looks very bright for Colin Lindo and his musical output. This is further reinforced with releases on Irma and Neroli, as well as Head to Toe, and the forthcoming 'Afrika Man' EP for the ever impressive Delsin label serving as a follow up to his impressive 'Typewriter E.P.' for the Dutch imprint, alongside soon to be released material on So Called Records out of New York, Subvert Central (UK), Paul Mac's digital imprint 'Sula Muse' (UK) and new Techno label, Foundation Music (UK), the man shows no sign of slowing down!
