伝説の中の伝説リー・スクラッチ・ペリーが、盟友エイドリアン・シャーウッドと再びタッグを組み、自らの本名を冠した最新アルバムをリリース!エイドリアンが操縦桿を握り、総勢20名以上の凄腕ミュージシャンが参加し、2年以上の制作期間を掛けジャマイカ、ブラジル、ロンドンで録音された音楽史に刻まれる超大作。アルバム冒頭を飾る「Cricket OnThe Moon」(M-1)の雰囲気あるフィールド・レコーディングとワウペダルを使ったギター、ゴシック調のチェロをあしらった「Let It Rain」(M-3)、「Makumba Rock」(M-5)の刻まれ圧縮された管楽セクション、そしてアルバム全般に渡って天のコーラスのように響く、レイヤーが重ねられ注意深くアレンジされたバック・ボーカル、本作では全てのグルーヴとディテールに二人の音楽愛が注がれている。アルバムを締めくくる「Autobiography Of The Upsetter」(M-10)では、1930年代の植民地時代のジャマイカの農園で育った子供時代から、世界的スーパースターになるまでの人生のストーリーをリー・ペリー本人がダブ・ポエットで聴かせる感動巨編。

Personnel: Dave McEwen (programming). Recording information: On-U Sound Studios, Ramsgate, England; Red Bull Studio, London; Simone Souls Studio, Sao Paulo, Brazil.; The Point, Negril, Jamaica. Since the late '80s, Jamaican dub innovator Lee "Scratch" Perry has sporadically collaborated with British producer Adrian Sherwood, whose truly jarring, rule-breaking sound is a clear descendent of Perry's. Rainford (Perry's legal birth name) follows sometimes underacknowledged albums such as From the Secret Laboratory, in addition to Perry's guest appearances on records by Dub Syndicate and Sherwood's collaborations with dubstep pioneer Pinch. Both artists are in fine form on Rainford, with Perry delivering his inimitable brand of playful, free-associative verse and Sherwood twisting trippy rhythms around him. The crushed funk dub of "Cricket on the Moon" serves as a bed for Perry's manic growls and alien observations. More dramatic and lushly orchestrated is the stepping dancehall blues of "Let It Rain," where Perry wishes to "wipe out Babylon and drown Satan" over stirring cellos and swirling, choppy beats. While it seems like it could all get heavy and dramatic, Perry extols the value of love, healthy living, and having a good time. Perry gets more emotionally intense as the album progresses, imitating virtually an entire zoo during the Brazilian-flavored "Makumba Rock," during which he mockingly cries and wishes for his parents. The stunning "African Starship" is filled with trudging, nearly trip-hop rhythms and rusty trumpets, providing a disorienting accompaniment to Perry's interstellar prophecies. "Kill Them Dreams Money Worshippers" continues in the line of Perry's previous anti-capitalist rants, punctuated with blood-curdling screams and violent, thundering echo. The album concludes with "Autobiography of the Upsetter," a moving recollection of Perry's own life, spiked with references to the legend's past achievements. Stating his purpose to eliminate evil and destroy racism, he recounts his early days in the music business, working with Sir Coxsone Dodd, and producing timeless records with Bob Marley, Susan Cadogan, and Max Romeo. He also dips into his own lore, referencing the time he witnessed Island Records founder Chris Blackwell drinking chicken blood, and the burning of his own Black Ark studio. Perry assures that despite his reputation as an outrageous eccentric, he isn't crazy, a fact which should be plainly obvious to anyone who's been following his work; he plays up his outlandish character, but he's always maintained control over his art. The best moments of Rainford prove that Perry's creative flame is still burning bright, more than five decades after he first began making music. ~ Paul Simpson
