Performer Notes:

Personnel: Lee "Scratch" Perry (vocals); Chris Stein (guitar); Brian Chippendale (drums).
From his groundbreaking reggae and dub productions in the 1970s and beyond, Lee "Scratch" Perry has developed a reputation as one of the great mad geniuses of modern music. As 2008's REPENTANCE shows, Perry is still going strong at age 72, and is still out to prove there's a method to his madness. Perry has opened his sound to incorporate modern rhythm music, including electronica and hip-hop. These influences push his compositions into new territory, yet they are still marked by the sonic adventurousness that has characterized all Perry's work.
Made in collaboration with American musician and producer Andrew W.K., REPENTANCE features an all-star roster of guests including Hot Chip, Spank Rock, M.I.A., Moby, and Chris Stein from Blondie. Their appearances add to the eclectic vibe of the album, but it's also Perry's wacky singing and antics that make the album such a treat.

Professional Reviews: Alternative Press (p.150) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This should be among Perry's higher-profile efforts in some time, with production by Andrew W.K. and guest appearances by everyone from Moby to Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt."

Magnet (p.118) - "REPENTANCE is a lot of fun....'Santa Claus' manages to mention Mickey Mouse, Judgment DAy and, yes, Jesus; over a smart, hyper groove, he repeats these words and phrases over and over until, somehow, his randomness reveals its own sense."

CMJ - "[D]renched in sharp, electronic effects, fast-driving beats and production by Perry's good friend Andrew WK."

Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.48) - "Perry is still capable of dreaming up rhythms that are absolutely out of this world....REPENTANCE is quite literally the best album from Perry in years -- the album diehards have been waiting for."
