Item Description
Between the twin pillars of "Cloak and Dagger" and
"Blackboard Jungle Dub", the superlative, yet often
overlooked, "Rhythm Shower" album was also released in
'73. Originally issued in a very limited Jamaican pressing
with no sleeve, it became better known when re-released
by the Trojan label as part of its 3 LP, and later 2-CD set,
The Upsetter Collection, first issued in 1986.
Despite its obscurity, "Rhythm Shower" is a pivotal album
in Perry's career as a producer and bandleader; it finds
him beginning to experiment with dub and developing his
singular studio sound that would come to full maturity in
subsequent years.
Whereas earlier albums offered plenty of instrumental
versions, on "Rhythm Shower", Perry really begins
employing the studio sleight of hand that would become
part and parcel for what was then the emerging art form of
dub -- dropping voices and instruments in and out of the
mix to create a trippy, hypnotic effect. Not to go unnoticed
is the mighty Upsetters themselves, whose revolving crew
of musical heavyweights included Bob Marley & The
Wailers future rhythm section Aston "Family Man" Barrett
on bass and drummer Carlton Barrett. The powerhouse
rhythms they forged give Perry all the space he needs to
work his mojo at the mixing desk.
With one foot planted firmly in the celebrated sound of the
time and the other stepping assuredly into the future,
"Rhythm Shower" is essential listening for any fan of
Reggae, Dub or Lee Perry. This is crucial music. This is
classic Scratch.
