lethalnezzle 02/27/2013 23:59What is most incredible about this album is how otherworldly and full sounding it is given that it was recorded at Black Ark Studios, a 4-track studio with notoriously basic equipment. This is Perry's greatest achievement and - without meaning to do a significant disservice to the band, whose vocal harmonies and rootsy themes are timeless, and were entirely necessary in coaxing this stunning work from Scratch - The Congos are cogs in a much more impressive machine.
Why no-one else has seen fit to comment on this work of unmitigated genius is beyond me. I've got 3 things to say about this LP - 1. it's one of the only JA LPs you can listen to from start to finish and think "you know what, this is an album, not a collection of singles with a few fillers chucked in" (Jamaican music has NEVER been album-focused, but there's some gems around if you look hard enough, this being the prime example). 2. If you ever need evidence that Lee 'Scratch' Perry is a visionary and the most important thing ever to happen to Jamaican music (bar perhaps Coxsone Dodd) here's your proof. and 3. if your knowledge of 'reggae' (horrid word) goes no further than 'Bob Marley', I strongly suggest you whack this on, pump it up, lie back and let it soak in. It will start you on a wonderful, fulfilling journey, trust me...
