Reggae producer and vocalist Lee 'Scratch' Perry died August 29th this year. One of the most influential producers to have ever lived, not only in reggae but in all kinds of music. He is also an obvious inspiration point for MIKE. His early use of heavy studio effects to make songs psychedelic and occasionally eerie was revolutionary.

If you enjoy these songs, I highly recommend these albums to get started on the journey of his extensive catalog:
Lee 'Scratch' Perry - Arkology (1997 compilation of songs recorded in his studio Black Ark, very extensive)
Bob Marley and The Wailers - Soul Revolution (1971) [his only full-length work with Bob Marley, it's even more lo-fi than most of his work)
The Upsetters - Upsetters 14 Dub Black Board Jungle (1973) [fully instrumental, it's seen as the first true Dub album]
The Upsetters - Super Ape (1976) [one of his most well renown works, while it has vocals it is still very much instrumentally focused]
Max Romeo & The Upsetters - War ina Babylon (1976) [my favourite, it's also the time Lee Perry got closest to producing regular reggae]
Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves (1977) [another more restrained album, the falsetto of Murvin can take some getting used to]
The Congos - Heart of The Congos (1977) [this album is the one Lee himself considered his finest work, has vocals on every song but is also dub heavy with the bass overiding almost everything in the mix]
Lee Perry - Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Corn Bread (1978) [Lee was never the strongest vocalist, but here he more than makes up for it with some wonky production and passionate performances, it ventures more into psychedelia than most of the others]
