The
End Of An American Dream is the 2007 album by Lee "Scratch" Perry (born
Rainford Hugh Perry), who was a Jamaican record producer, composer and
singer noted for his innovative studio techniques and production style.
Perry was a pioneer in the 1970s development of dub music with his early
adoption of remixing and the use of studio effects to create new
instrumental or vocal versions of existing tracks. From his Black Ark
Studio in Kingston Jamaica, he worked with and produced a wide variety
of artists, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, Susan
Cadogan, The Congos, and Max Romeo.
Later,
he moved to Switzerland and reinvented himself as a performance and
visual artist but continued to produce innovative music - collaborations
include The Beastie Boys, The Clash, Keith Richards, George Clinton,
and Adrian Sherwood. The End Of An American Dream is the first
in a series of three albums he made with English musician and producer
Steve Marshall a.k.a. John Saxon and is available for the very
first time on vinyl.
