Panic in Babylon

Fresh from winning the Grammy for Best Reggae Album, Lee Scratch Perry has granted the wish of many and returned with another amazing release.

Panic in Babylon is the fresh, full-length epic with a unique catchiness and hypnotizing rhythm only the hands of Lee Scratch Perry could bring to life. Relax and soak in the album's sharply enriching tones as the renowned "Father of Dub" takes you for a psychotropic journey throughout life's highs and lows. Each tune's signature Reggae-echo bounces giddily off the inner walls of your head, sending thick, magnetic currents throughout your legs and hips. Perry, being the sly producer he is, adds a distinctly untried edge to Panic in Babylon. The album's back-up musicians have shared stories of Perry's constant approach with new-fangled ideas. Suggestions that first seem musically impossible but, when executed, end up making absolute sense. Lee Scratch Perry, a true pioneer eternally ahead of his time. Originally released in Switzerland as a single disc release, Panic in Babylon is set to hit the U.S. shores June of 2006. The Narnack version features a 2 CD set with disc two containing unreleased re-mixes from TV on the Radio & DJ Spooky. Look for a George Clinton remix on the limited run 12" vinyl coming late August.
