Lee "Scratch" Perry
is less a performer than a producer, mixer,
dub
master, and musical auteur, and whether he is crazy as a loon or crazy as a fox will be debated endlessly by
Perry
buffs. But there is no denying that his peak years as a producer in the mid- to late '70s at his
Black Ark Studio
in Kingston, Jamaica, were responsible for some of the most amazing and distinctive records in the history of
reggae
. This brief collection pulls together some of the more accessible of those
Black Ark
sides, and each features the sort of watery, Echoplex-soaked sound that immediately mark them as
Perry
productions. Among the highlights here are
Junior Murvin
's timeless and classic
"Police and Thieves,"
Max Romeo
's bubbly (but deadly serious)
"War in a Babylon,"
Perry
's own beautiful and haunting
"Dreadlocks in the Moonlight,"
a song he wrote for
Bob Marley
, and
the Heptones
' joyous and wise
"Party Time,"
which seems to bounce and flow as effortlessly as a river. There is much more to
Perry
than just his
Black Ark
years, of course, but his output during this time has to be considered his apex, and his considerable reputation as a producer rests with the songs and dubs he crafted during this time period. Most
Perry
fanatics will already have all of these cuts, but for the casual listener wondering what all the fuss is about, this anthology is an excellent entry point. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
