What two great producers other than Lee Perry and Bunny Lee would be
best suited for a Dub Soundclash. Both producers were integral at the birth
of dub music and would share many rhythms and sessions, there musical paths
would cross all through their careers .It was in fact Bunny Lee’s rhythm that provided
the back drop to Lee Perry’s ‘Shocks of Mighty’ cut. Jobs were passed
from one to the other, Bunny Lee taking over Lee Perry’s position at
WIRL records. Yes two producers whose paths always seemed to cross as it
does with this release.
We have selected some of Lee Perry’s rhythms, side one of this set, against
some Bunny Lee rhythms on side two.You can hear the distinctive sound of
Lee Perry’s Black Ark studio with his echo-plex giving his trademark whirling
sound against Bunny Lee’s rhythms cut at many different studio’s. He was as
they say the ghost of the studio’s, using all the downtimes and night sessions
to get his rhythms together. Unlike Lee Perry Bunny did not have his own
studio till much later, when he took over Joe Gibbs premises. But his rhythms
found a home at the great King Tubby’s studio, where they were worked over
with great success. The winner of this Soundclash ?, we will leave that decision
up to the listener. But in this Dub session there is no loser
..All Killer ..No Filler …enjoy
