Just got the Lee Perry box last weekend... Nothing that really blew my mind (probably a good thing), in fact it hardly seems up to the other dub reissues I have: Augustus Pablo, Scientist, King Tubby, Keith Hudson, etc. Maybe I need to put in some more time on the thing (three discs is a lot to digest). Anyway, one of the best tracks is Perry's production of Max Romeo on "Me & the Devil" (title?). It's the track good 'ol Liam sampled for "Out of Space" ('I'm going to send him to outer space, to find another race...") In other news: Does anyone know if the new MC Solaar is going to get an American release? Is it worth getting, even at import prices? Also: I have to weigh in with what looks like the only positive Portishead review of the new single. It's no great leap forward, but the vibes are definitely there. Onnow: The Prodigy _Experience_ (an <Incredible> album no matter how geeky you claim to be)
