lee perry at black ark studio Ten minutes of madness with Lee "Scratch" Perry, Jamaican music's most celebrated producer, has been through more creative rebirths than most artists. At 73 years of age, he is currently enjoying another. His first hit was Return of Django, a brassy rocksteady instrumental targeted at British skinheads. Circa 1970, he became a mentor to Bob Marley's Wailers, then a middle-ranking ska trio. In an intense, fractious relationship, Perry convinced Marley to sing about the poverty of Trench Town and his Rastafarian beliefs. Together, they set the blueprint for roots reggae and Marley's stardom. Perry was also arguably dub's first architect, inventing the remix with the most basic of studio technology.. Throughout an erratic career, Perry has walked the wire between genius and madness. He has never stayed in one place too long. He cut his last two truly great albums in London in the late 1980s, alongside On-U Sound supremo, Adrian Sherwood. Since then, he has lived with his Swiss wife in rustic seclusion near Zurich, releasing a stream of European productions, few of which have greatly enhanced his legacy. His new album, The Mighty Upsetter (released in the UK on Octobre 20th, 2008), is a fabulous rematch with Sherwood, ingeniously laced through with echoes of vintage Black Ark basslines, melodies and rhythms. He still believes, he says, in music as a magic ritual. However, Perry unquestionably cultivated that air of shamanism to frighten off the cut-throats and looters who roam Jamaica. In his heady mix of ganja, voodoo and over-work. Tags: lee 'scratch' perry black ark dub reggae jamaica adrian sherwood on-u sound |
