(BRC819) Japan Music CD","description":"Product Description\nLee ?gScratch?h Perry \u0026amp; Mouse on Mars Lee Perry's final official album, the collaboration album with Mouse on Mars, \"Spatial, No Problem.\" has been released! Many recordings have been released since the death of Lee ?gScratch?h Perry, labeled as his ?gfinal work?h or ?gfinal project.?h However, the work that can truly be called his final album is the result of an encounter in Berlin, Germany. Produced in the studio of electronic music pioneers Mouse on Mars (Jan St. Werner and Andy Thomas), \"Spatial, No Problem.\" is the culmination of that experience and a work that captures the core of the creativity Perry reached in his later years. This collaborative album, \"Spatial, No Problem.\", is being released by DOMINO. The opening track of the album, \"Rockcurry,\" vividly reflects Lee ?gScratch?h Perry?fs time spent in Berlin. The music video for \"Rockcurry,\" directed by Studio Sparks, is a unique collage of recording session photos, hand-drawn illustrations, and various objects. It expresses the time Lee \"Scratch\" Perry and Mouse on Mars spent in the studio as a vibrant and energetic anthem. The making of this work is shrouded in mystery. For starters, why did he go to Berlin? The reason remains unclear, both then and now. Several theories exist, including label connections and personal connections through past collaborations, but there is no definitive explanation. The only thing that is certain is that he showed up. Arriving at the Berlin studio in December 2019, Perry was the epitome of unpredictability. Upsetter, Super Ape, or another personality?no one knew which face he would reveal. Behind that mask is Rainford Hugh Perry, an innovator who defined the evolution of Jamaican music from ska to reggae and dub, and whose influence extends to punk, hip hop, and electronic music. With their masterful manipulation of sound and words, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, their presence is almost mythical. Mouse on Mars, on the other hand, is an experimental unit that has been expanding the realm of electronic music for over 30 years. Known for their diverse collaborations and original sound designs, this encounter was inevitable. As soon as Perry arrived, he transformed the studio space into his own ritual. He took small objects, images, and words from his suitcase and wrote them on the walls and equipment, chanting, whispering, and laughing as he layered sounds. Words were deconstructed, and at the same time, they took on new meanings. The musicians surrendered themselves to the flow, and the recording proceeded intuitively with almost no dialogue. \"We hardly exchanged words about what we were doing. We just got together and started working. He laughed a lot, and we laughed along with him. We cooked, and ate fish soup and papaya while we worked.\" What was clear from this session was that they were not trying to make reggae. Perry is the embodiment of reggae, and its influence is undeniable, but this work is not a mere reproduction. Motoristic rhythms, free improvisation, digital glitches, a Dadaist linguistic sensibility, and what he calls \"voodoo residing in machines\" intersect, dismantling genre boundaries. A symbolic episode of this is the exchange surrounding \"space.\" When asked about spatial audio and multi-channel sound, Perry laughed and replied, \"Spatial? No problem.\" This phrase is both the album's title and its creative philosophy. Sound is unleashed into space, the structure is not fixed, and it is constantly changing. Eventually, he leaves the studio. He returns to Switzerland, leaving behind rumors of further creation, and ultimately journeys to the realm of the \"ancestors of sound.\" \"Spatial, No Problem.\" is a trace of that encounter in Berlin and the final message he left behind. This work is more than just a collaboration. This documentary captures the moment when new musical possibilities emerge amidst the fusion of space and culture, and the intersection of different timelines. What Lee \"Scratch\" Perry ultimately demonstrated was freedom itself, transcending genre and form. \u003ctracklist\u003e 01. Rockcurry 02. Hallo Shiva 03. Economic Train 04. Spatialee 05.
