Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The nearly four hours of astounding music encoded on these three discs merely scratch the surface of the highly personal sonic universe created by this legendarily eccentric, yet ridiculously prolific, dub-reggae producer. It's still the best source of entry into Lee "Scratch" Perry's world, though, a place defined by homemade avant-garde production techniques applied to the wittiest, angriest, sexiest, and most soulful reggae tunes ever written. Perry was born in 1936, and his career spans the history of Jamaican music. These 52 tracks, however, derive mainly from the late 1970s, when he was at the height of his considerable powers and recording hits like Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon" and Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves" for Island. Helpfully annotated, with a healthy handful of unreleased tracks, Arkology is a beginner's banquet of tracks that sound increasingly deep, daring, and downright frightening as the depth of Perry's talent is plumbed. --Richard Gehr
CD Description
Black Ark was the name of a one-room shack studio that Lee Perry built in the garden of his home at 5 Cardiff Crescent in the Washington Gardens suburb of Kingston, Jamaica. Beginning in 1974, he helped revolutionise the use of a studio asa musical instrument, while making some of the most sumptuous and grooving reggae records of that decade. ARKOLOGY documents only a thin slice of his studio's rich history, but even that slice is enough to overstuff three discs with hits, dubs and previously unheard treats.
Here you'll find the obvious choices that should be a part of any good reggae collection: international hits like Max Romeo's "War Ina Babylon", Junior Murvin's "Police And Thieves", George Faith's "ToBe A Lover", Perry's own "Curly Locks", among many others. But you'll also find the ultra-rare dub versions of these tracks, in their brazenly deconstructed state by Perry and hisfaithful and ever-evolving band of Upsetters. ARKOLOGY serves multiple purposes and satisfies mightily over its three installments.
