Lee
"Scratch" Perry, always the off-beat and original "Mad Genius" is known
for producing not only the hardest rebel rasta tunes, but the most unpredictable
instrumental dubs. In "Satan's Dub", a collaboration with Bullwackie (a
well-known Jamaican producer in his own right) the dubmaster Lee "Scratch"
Perry (A.K.A. "The Upsetter") proves once again that his originality and
imagination still rule.

"Tight,
propulsive dancing dub with plenty of message worked in. Treats a plenty." NME U.K.
"Provocative,
multi-dimensional, an other worldly journey deep into the inner space
of Perry's perplexing head." CMJ, "The Reggae Route"
"The
bass is a tirelessly lumbering monster, scores of horns tumbling in and
out of the mix." Melody Maker U.K.
"Perry
makes a case for the chilling tones of dub, a narcotic expanse." Boston
Phoenix
"Gunshot,
breaking glass, bawling babies and tons of echoes are his favorite toys
on Satan's Dub." Rock and Folk (France)
"The
sampled sounds of the streets segues into Perry's hypnotic rhythm patterns.
Harder than the rest." Edwin Pouncey, U.K.
"Dub
craziness, layering random broadcasts (of conflicts from the Civil Rights
Movement), strikers discussing strategy, the 'troubles' in Ulster, his
own Zippy the Pinhead skanking, gunshots, police whistles. Dripping with
atmosphere." Puncture
