Music
In addition to boxing fellow engineer Prince Jammy, ridding the world of vampires, and winning the World Cup, Scientist used his early-'80s records to thematically battle computer game foes. But prior to taking on Pac-Man, Scientist first "met" the Space Invaders on this 1981 Greensleeves release.
The cosmic theme is well served on ten effects-riddled tracks, with the rockers-style material being littered by all manner of stratosphere-breaking sounds from the mixing board.
And just below this ethereal layer of sound is the fine and original production work of Linval Thompson (Scientist also mixed cuts by rival producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes) and the stellar playing of the Roots Radics band. A great dub title, it's one of Scientist's essential recordings and indeed a an essential in any collection of dub style releases.
· The album was produced by Mikey "Roots" Scott & Linval Thompson.
· Recorded at Channel One Studios
· Backed by the Roots Radics
· Mixed at King Tubby's.
· Cover artwork is by Tony McDermott.
The tracks that formed the basis of the album were Thompson productions including Wayne Wade's "Poor and Humble" ("Cloning Process"), and Johnny Osbourne's "Kiss Somebody" ("Quasar")
