As if I need to say more than just the name…
Was playing around earlier cutting stuff in & out, muting stuff, sneaking in bits and pieces with the reverb…
Just thinking…
A few individuals could have claimed to be the architects of rock & roll, or innovators in jazz, godfathers of funk, etc…
Rarely can you see such a direct, pivotal, seismic influence on so much music & recording techniques as you can see in 70s Jamaica. Dub gave birth to the styles and genres of the future like a litter of puppies. Lee Scratch Perry didn’t spend a lot of time crowing about being the first to do any of it, & there were other influences. But the sounds of the Black Ark, the Upsetter, his words, his deeds, his whole being was so otherworldly, there’s precious few like him or on his level even in the whole pantheon of artistic genius.
