Spaceship To Mars

Description

New studio album from the legendary reggae visionary Lee Scratch Perry. New label "Creation Youth." A label created by the founder of Creation Records, Alan Magee, and Martin "Youth" Glover from Killing Joke/The Orb, collaborator of Paul McCartney and producer for Pink Floyd, The Verve, Crowded House among many others. Written, recorded, and produced by Martin 'Youth' Glover from Killing Joke/The Orb. Without a doubt, Lee 'Scratch' Perry is an orphic channeler, a superhero, a wizard of the Ark. He dazzles and confounds, chuckling at his own riddles, speaking from another realm. This album embodies the spirit of Lee 'Scratch' Perry and how he lives on through those of us who are obsessed with the mystery of this man. It is said that he has made something like 2000 albums. This one is the one he started with Youth in the third dimension - and that he oversaw to completion from a non-quantifiable dimension. Each featured artist (Carroll Thompson, Blue Pearl, Zoe Devlin, Radical Dance Faction, Boy George, Hollie Cook, and others) is as fervent about Scratch and his works as the next. The psychic connection is evident. Youth calls it "voodoo magic meets the raiders of the lost ark." This sums up the cosmic encounter of an album that took a good seven years to make.
