The new Congos album is co-produced by Lee Perry. What can we expect? How will he influence the production or the sound/mixing? Just a bit Black Ark-ish..?..
Or is it just a gimmick to have better sales?

Any suggestions?

Congos ran out of lyrics and dem gone to the gimmicks.

none.. you can check yourself in various recording sessions posted on youtube.. He just stands/sits there, talking gibberish (no disrespect.. )

@ han , talking gibberish??? do you understand what he says in patois? (no disrespect, just curriousity)
because i only see that at about 4 minutes in the clip there is lee perry arranging a riddim, telling the band how the bridge should sound. that is a producer at work

his productions are always good, so why would this one be any different? i'm excited for this new album

Yes i agree jumbo i didn't see Perry talking nonsense, just directing the song.

Can't see why the Black Ark is mentioned tho?

"his productions are always good, so why would this one be any different?"

Are you deaf?

well maybe i haven't heard his lesser productions, but the ones i've heard have been anywhere from good to great

No worst deaf that the one who doesn't want to hear... Perry has not produced anything interesting since 1979 whent the Ark sank in Kingston... And this brand new Congos is a pain in the... ear.

Bougard (the producer) tells on a french reggae site (http://www.reggae.fr/dev/forum/viewtopi ... =10553&p=2) it's at Mixing Lab, and We see Boris Garner on Bass, Roobie Lyn, and Clive Hunt ! Lee Perry is a good advisor, runs like a producer, and shows how he is really ... not a mad man ! We will see...
