  • At Loop 2016, The Wire magazine's Frances Morgan sat down for a wide-ranging, philosophical conversation with the inimitable Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Along for the ride were Perry's live musical director Emch and Volker Schaner, director of the documentary film Lee "Scratch" Perry's Vision Of Paradise.

    Reggae wouldn’t be reggae without Lee 'Scratch' Perry - the original upsetter and disruptor. One of the architects of the sound we know as modern music. RIP

      when you really think about how many people have come together from the music that he paved the way for.
      its insane.
      hip hop dance electronic techno dubstep the entire rave scene.
      all because this guy (and king tubby in a different sense)
      even the almighty governments and churches of the world have to go TO EXTREME LENGTHS to do that.
      and thats what i believe is incredibke about this man

He has no time for script as he is infinitely creating in his mind. We must let the Fatha be and follow in his foot steps. xx

    I love his music but am sceptical of his philosophy, as i am with all religious mindsets and world views. I love the album Echomania. “I’m going to de-program you and your computer” is such a brilliant and funny line. Such an artist is Lee Scratch Perry; godfather of dub, or one of them… i’ll add LKJ in that equation also. LIsten to the song “What About the Working Class” by Lynton Quesi Johnson great lyrics also and one of the most perfect guitar solos of all time. Since this video segment is coming from Ableton i have to take the opportunity to thank Ableton for Live, a truly brilliant software and one of the greatest creative tools of all time for musicians and/or producers. Also, Walking in Jerusalem, amazing performance and vibe. Although i’m sceptical of all pre-set systems of belief, religions, i do like a lot of religiously inspired music. These many and various mythologies are part of what makes the human race a colourful and inventive species.
