"This album is a landmark in the evolution of dub reggae. One of several albums Perry has done with the Mad Professor, the tracks are hypnotic and spacy compterized dub masterpieces with the Mighty Upsetter ranting and raving in incredible torrents of pscho-babble poetry. Altough the sound is much more sleak and clean compared to Perry's Black Ark days, his collaborations with the Mad Professor are every bit as ingenious as when he was performing miracles with simple analog gear. A second version of this album, "Experryments in the Grass Roots of Dub" is even better. It's the exact same tracks remixed with sparser vocals, creating a more vacuous and spacy feel. Truely the work of insane genious."
