Ironman

VINYL FORMAT. On-U Sound presents Lee Perry's interpretation of the Black Sabbath classic "Iron Man," complete with heavy boots of lead. With Adrian Sherwood at the controls, and additional input from renowned reggae producer Dennis Bovell, this full-on thumping dub-stepper finds Scratch positioning himself as the "iron man - lion man - lightning man - super man" who "don't drink no booze" while sub-basses throb and wobble the bolts from his joints and the beats hit harder than a rivet gun. The dub mix is by Pempi, who ups the full-of-dread quota with a heavy barrage of drums, stuttering synths and swelling bass, creating a version that has the potential to consume every motor vehicle in the southern hemisphere.
