[kj] The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry - Fact mix

[sade1]

I wonder how many reggae artists claim Killing Joke as an influence as opposed to vice versa?


 
Blessed are the Cracked for 
  they let in the Light,
    others all are just a..
      'nother brick in the Wall

I don't know if any of you have caught the Lee Perry half hour radio shows airing at midnight on 6music this week but they have been very, very good.  

Basically it's been Perry talking about and playing his musical loves - not as reggaecentric as you might expect. If you like the sound of his voice (and he could read the Daily Mail out and release it and I'd buy it) it's well worth a listen. Doesn't make a lot of sense at time mind.

Dunno if you can still catch them from their website but you webmonkeys can work that out for yourselves. And you should.

>The Orb, innovators of ambient house and one of Britain’s all-time most celebrated electronic acts, have teamed up with the inimitable Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, one of Jamaica’s greatest ever musicians, for a new album, The Orbserver in the Star House. As The Orb’s Alex Paterson put it, in an interview earlier this year, “we wanted to do a souly type, modern, minimal album with some reggae influences with [Perry's] vocals on top. I think its one of the best bits of work we’ve ever done.”

>To toast the album’s forthcoming release, The Orb and Perry have also teamed up for a FACT mix. God knows how you’re supposed to start tracklisting, or even describing it; FACT mix 341 is like a slow-motion kayak ride through a pipe of slurry, thick, overwhelmingly delayed basslines obscuring wonky melodies – some recognisable (‘What A Wonderful World’, ‘Zombie’), others from another planet entirely. Plus, of course, you get Perry toasting on top, though around half-way through he gets bored and toddles off for a while. Would you want it any other way? We certainly wouldn’t."
