Synopsis

Product Description
Mad Alien Dub includes a few frequently collected classics (Perry's own "Stay Red," and The Upsetters' "Thanks We Get"), but most of the program is less familiar -- future Third World vocalist Bunny Ruggs covers "I Am I Said," and there's the repatriation anthem "Ethiopia," just to name two obscurities. Everything partakes of the signature Black Ark ambience: the splashy echo, the eerie, slightly distant vocal mix, and that slight edge of utter madness that characterizes every session over which the mighty Upsetter presides.

"No one loves Lee Scratch Perry as much as I do, so I pre-ordered this CD with high hopes. Too bad. I'm forced to say: Buyer Beware. I'm sure it's no fault of the GREAT Lee Scratch Perry, but this CD is bloody awful, not even close to Mr. Perry's other fantastic dub CDS...this one has poor production quality, is boring, and has wayyyyyyyyy wayyyyyyyy wayyyyyyyy too many vocals to be considered dub-reggae. BUYER BEWARE! I, a lover of Lee Scratch Perry, actually hurled this CD in the trash.
