about

Forty one years after Lee "Scratch" Perry defined dub music with his iconic 1976 Super Ape album, he returns with New York City's Subatomic Sound System to conquer the bass generation. Subatomic reincarnates the magic of Perry's Black Ark studio in Jamaica, going in heavy on Ethiopian horns & percussion, reinvigorated by booming 21st century bass & beats to capture the energy of their innovative live electronic show and vibes of the urban jungle. The original album is a cornerstone in the development of independent, producer fueled, beat and bass driven music. This new album breaks ground of its own as Perry & Subatomic create an unprecedented level of dynamic improvisation between live performers, computers, and studio manipulation, exploding traditional concepts of what is a live performance versus a studio recording.

my first experience of lee scratch Perry was a longtime ago on no disco music programme I heard 'Dont blame it on I' and that was it hooked I was and he was everywhere on Irish TV promoting Guinness top man I could do with one now, scratch your genius music is a tonic for the soul. I'm loving 'here comes the warm dreads' not that you will read this scratch but thanks for sharing your music bruce2021
