"This is Kung Fu--taking you on a musical review…Enter The Dragon!…braaap!!!" Yes, you guessed it--you're in Lee Perry's brain again--or he's in yours--and he's burping. He's primed with rum and some rather large cigarettes, and he's running down "Enter the Dragon," replete with the aforementioned burps, plus flying saucer sound effects, stinging hi-hats, and a tight, insistent bass and drum rhythm that takes no prisoners.

With production credits that run from the Clash to the Wailers and a brain that just runs and runs, Perry's a small, wiry wild man who's cast a giant shadow over both reggae and rock music. A compact sampler of the man's crazed genius, this collection involves the usual suspects--Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon," Junior Murvin's "Police & Thieves," and Junior Byles's "Curly Locks," together with cuts by the Upsetters from Perry's influential SUPER APE album. This, or any Lee Perry collection is a guaranteed wild ride--he doesn't so much produce a track as possess it, haunting it with growling vocals, mysterious gurgles and banshee-like guitar effects, always underpinning the whole with mighty, speaker-rattling rhythm. A good primer for the neophyte with excellent liner notes by David Katz.
