The Black Album
upsetter
At 83 years of age, perry drops a masterful album of space, light and darkness, blending the vintage and the obscure - with dub versions included.
It’s a brilliant analogue concoction of ultra-rare effects, sonic wizardry and deeeeep heavy roots rhythms. Picking up where ‘’Back on the Controls’’ left off, perry continues his partnership with producer daniel boyle to devastating effect. the Rolling Lion All Stars session band is in wild form, and the edits warm and rich. The legend lives on. “(The Black Album) shows off the real-deal roots of roots reggae from the octogenarian mad professor, in brilliantly, hypnotically moving fashion… give thanks and praises” - reggaeville
