I recently got into this guy, he does some awesome reggae with crazy echo effects on the vocals, its really trippy and awesome to listen to. Did I mention I love reggae? well, anyone heard him? check him out if ur interested. |
||||||||
|

|
the guy is mashed but happy beats the shit out of gangsta rap and all that poncy strutting / largeing / posturing anyone who sings "In Buckingham palace; they gonna smoke the chalice" gets my vote ;D check out 'the upsetters' , his old band , their stuff good too |
||||||||

yeah, I also like the upsetters, but I prefer his newer stuff. "anyone who sings "In Buckingham palace; they gonna smoke the chalice" gets my vote ;D" Damn right! :) |

*bizz-ump* I'm listening to scratch's "jamaican e.t."... its a great fuckin album. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anybody? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes he is a living legend. I have always thought of Aphex as the Lee Perry of electronica. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

he's the great grandfather of cut and past music production/intense studio trickery. we all owe a lot to him.. can't really get into his new suff much. i have a fuckin stack of lee perry vinyl though. i started collecting those trojan box sets. diggin the hell outta that. i've got the dub, ska and roots boxes... is there a rocksteady and dancehall? i'd like to get those. anybody else getting these? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I have the "Dub" "Ska" "Producer Series" "D.J". and "Dancehall" box sets : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that producer series set looks like it would be pretty good. i wouldn't mind checking out the rare groove box set either... |
||||||||
|

|
|
not really - the whole musique concrete scene which was way before his time dealt with tape editing cutting and pasting and echo - he just did things with a popular form which made them avant guarde at times |

touche. lee perry: great grandfather pierre henry: great great grandfather |
||||||||

He is crazy! He wears Jesus on his head or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they have nothing to do with each other - perry never cut and pasted he just mixed thru and echo unit - teo macero who produced miles davis stuff did cut and paste however - as did the radiophonic workshop who made doctor who theme from tape - if you want an example of avant guarde procedures used outside the academic musical world these are better comparisons |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrid...that's one weird dismissal of Lee Perry you got going on there... I bet he'd never heard of the term Avant Garde which makes his studio work all the more impressive...and I think you'll find he did just a wee bit more than mix some tracks thru an echo machine.... Year Zero spotting is pointless...culture's far more rhizomatic than that & whatever historical narrative anyone subscribes to is at best subjective; at worst, fascistic... |
||||||||
|
|

|
word. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think he would have heard of pierre henry at tjhe time of making dub tracks no - he didn't cut and paste like the academics - saying he cut and paste was wrong - he mixed and dubbed tracks through an echo unit - which undoubteldly he was a master of - but he has nothing to do with the european avan tguarde muscial tradition that someone like pierre henry belongs to so it's a lousy comparison . |
||||||||
|
|

|
the creativity of the man is impressive - he was primarily making stuff for soundsystems - dubs on 7 inches (the overiding format in reggae music) - i met him once when i was little at reggae sunsplash which my mates dad used to put on - he was very nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you understand what he said at all? I find it hard to understand what the man says in interviews and stuff with his thick jamaican accent and blurry voice. Im allso having trouble understanding what Ol DIrty Bastard says sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You get used to it....like any other accent really... was a little bemused to see subtitles used on the BBC reggae programs recently...that was just plain wrong; I just felt embaressed.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
astrid, pomme was just saying that the current crew do owe a lot to Perrys exploration of the studio...as they do to the more Academic european world...I agree with him ; the connection seems pretty apparent to me.. even Gibson in Neuromancer acknowledges Dub as a primal musical form...some of the best writing on Dub is in that book BTW... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do you mean "best writing on dub" The characters in the book listens to dub or something? (i never read Neuromancer) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, didnt expect this many of you to have heard mr. perry, hence my for-the-uninitiated description. :) unfortunately, I had to give the jamaican e.t. cd back to my friend, but I will soon go out and buy it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a number of rasta characters in there and passages about Dub....I can't get enough of Gibson; serious lit presented as sci-fi... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
testing testing 1 2 3 Lee Scratch Perry makes me want to dub-it all day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"lee scratch perry for-eva! ha-ha-ha, for-eva" i love that. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah - you get quite accostomed to jamaican patois in the uk - sly and robbie were there two - he didn't talk in riddles as much as he does now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some might some might not have heard of him - i don't think that was really what pomme was saying tho - best writng on dub iwasd this in the wire you can read it here http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/index.htm go tio the piece on black secret tricknology by ian pennman it's pretty amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not that familiar with the music, but is it true that he burned down Black Ark studios because someone had stolen his lucky mascot off the top of the mixing desk? Or is that just yet another apocryphal music industry legend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The Upsetter Collection is a good compiliation of his ska type stuff, Collie Weed & Corn Bread album also very nice. Return of the Super Ape is a v good reggae / slightly tripped out album He did burn down his studio, but I think it was because of a bad friendship / business / money thing, I think he wanted to start all over again so he burned down his studio. (!?) He was reported to have walked round Kingston backwards for several days before hand. What a dude. I think he uses his "madness" as a shield to avoid stuff he doesn't like. But what do I know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never heard of him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he bruned down the Ark cause he felt it was gonna fall into the wrong hands...and he didn't want his shit nicked... Despite being a little bid mad, dig thru his comments and there's grains of turths to each & every one.... Astrid... yeah, I know of that article, I've got the print version if it here...theres a v. nice unpublushed Q&A with Lee Perry on that site as well that hasn't been the print WIRE... |

My mate said last night that it was for three days and he banged a hammer on the ground as he walked. I missed him in Bristol last night damnit! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Me too; it was well patronising. The good ole BBC eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Lee for President |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that was really suprising to me...the BBC is not as nanny-ish as it once was but they def got this wrong... They interviewed Perry on top of a London Bus...He lives in Switzeland now; I believe he's married to some minor member of the swiss royal family (can anyone confirm that?...)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He does a good turn on the Beasties "Hello Nasty" album as well. And he calls them "The Beastly Brothers" Cooool! |
||||||||

I like his crown. |
