Our Take
Our Take
Lee "Scratch" Perry, the legendary reggae producer and eccentric musical genius, graces us with a lavish box set that is as enigmatic and kaleidoscopic as the man himself. "King Scratch" is a treasure trove of musical masterpieces from Perry's Upsetter Ark-ive, spanning 4 LPs, 4 CDs, a book, and a poster that will surely add a touch of eccentricity to any wall.
The music contained within this behemoth of a collection is a window into the mind of a true musical innovator. From the throbbing rhythms of Perry's dub reggae experiments to the swirling vortex of psychedelic soundscapes, each track is a testament to his unique vision and unbridled creativity.
Perry's playful approach to production is evident throughout "King Scratch", with off-kilter rhythms, skittering percussion, and a kaleidoscope of sonic textures that keep the listener on their toes. Tracks like "Roast Fish and Cornbread" and "Police and Thieves" showcase Perry's knack for crafting infectious grooves that transcend genre boundaries.
If you're a fan of unconventional music that pushes the boundaries of what is possible, Lee "Scratch" Perry's "King Scratch" is a must-have addition to your collection. Dive into the madness of the Upsetter Ark-ive and let Perry guide you through a musical journey unlike any other.
