LP-only on Moll-Selekta (the CD version of this album is on the Damp Music label; we don't carry it). After over 150 albums (!) as a producer, innovator and artist, the legendary founder of reggae and dub strikes back with his new album. Moll-Selekta are part of the Lee Perry universe and are very proud to announce the release of the double-vinyl of this great album with the freshest and strongest performance of the "Mighty Upsetter" in years. With the support of the White Belly Rats, (a new dub combo who composed the musical landscape) Panic in Babylon offers up powerful dub songs essentially inspired by Perry's spiritual journey and the critical world situation. Pegged as Perry's new dub poetry project, this release is a collection of spontaneous verse where rough lyrics and prophetically-inspired songs meet simpler lyrics, as in the famous "Inspector Gadjet." The totality of the record is executed with such a clearness, realism and humor, that both longtime fans and newcomers to Perry's universe will get to know an authentic and engaged artist with an unlimited genius. Furthermore, the title track "Panic In Babylon" includes a solo by the famous Rico Rodriguez, the great master of the reggae trombone. Composed by DJ Startrek and his combo The White Belly Rats (DJ Startrek on bass, Lax Delux on guitar and Senator Spahni on drums), produced by P. Brunkow and mastered at Sterling Sound NY, Panic In Babylon is the essence of the new dub of the third millennium.
