Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The nearly four hours of astounding music encoded on these three discs merely scratch the surface of the highly personal sonic universe created by this legendarily eccentric, yet ridiculously prolific, dub-reggae producer. It's still the best source of entry into Lee "Scratch" Perry's world, though, a place defined by homemade avant-garde production techniques applied to the wittiest, angriest, sexiest, and most soulful reggae tunes ever written. Perry was born in 1936, and his career spans the history of Jamaican music. These 52 tracks, however, derive mainly from the late 1970s, when he was at the height of his considerable powers and recording hits like Max Romeo's "War in a Babylon" and Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves" for Island. Helpfully annotated, with a healthy handful of unreleased tracks, Arkology is a beginner's banquet of tracks that sound increasingly deep, daring, and downright frightening as the depth of Perry's talent is plumbed. --Richard Gehr

- the Black Ark Experience in a nutshell
Though not a perfect box set, Arkology qualifies as essential listening for roots reggae, dub, and Scratch fans. Mystical, frequently magical and highly experimentative, Perry's Black Ark period mananged to pull off a rare feat: in addition to producing hits like Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves," Max Romeo's "War Ina Babylon," and The Heptones' "Party Time," it also accounted for sublime examples of classic roots reggae, such as Romeo's "One Step Forward" and the Congos' "Congoman," as well as ...

- Amazing dubs and soul
This is one of my most valued sets in my entire collection. The grooves in it are so thick with bass. The vocals are deeply soulful. Many tracks induce hypnosis and involuntary swaying. Every cut, every dub is classic. I'm at a loss for words to describe how amazing, how mesmerizing these performances are. They're superbly arranged / produced. As strong an example of the beauty of analog recording as I've ever heard; it's perfect here.

- Reggae at it's greatest!!!
I first heard some of the selections from Lee Perry's catalogue from a friend who recorded it on tape from a radio broadcast while he was in the navy stationed off the Rock of Gibraltor! I guess they were showcasing Lee, because many of the selections on these discs, and from "Heart of the Congos" was on that broadcast. I was just floored at the time. My exposure to reggae consisted of Bob Marley (of course), Jimmy Cliff, and Toots and the Maytells, but this just made me think "Ok I've finally found ... Read More

Genius is close to insanity as Lee shows.
