Experimental Album?

edit

Some Lee Scratch Perry enthusiasts would say that the album is in fact, not very experimental.

One might say that all of Lee Scratch Perry's solo work is very experimental, Musical Bones (w/Jazz), the entire Spaghetti Western series, etc, etc...

One might also say that being one of the earliest Dub musicians (perhaps one of its originators), would make all his studio work very experimental in nature.

Lastly, the album in question, is very much like what was being recorded by other Jamaican singers at the time. In terms of overall production, harmony, melody, rhythm, instruments, technique... the album Roast Fish... is actually to mine ears one of his least experimental albums.

It might be accurate to say that the Lyrical Content of Roast Fish... was somewhat experimental. Even then, it would be hard to prove that the subject matter was any different than anything else being released in Jamaica at the time.

Just my two cents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.118.168.34 (talk) 04:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
