Description:
This is the music documentary of the making of Grammy®-nominated reggae album "Revelation" by dub reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry, focusing on Lee's work in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and producer Steve Marshall, set at Lee Perry's mountain top home and studio in Switzerland. DVD extras include a free-flowing and revealing interview of Lee Perry by Steve Marshall.
"The Revelation Of Lee Scratch Perry" on DVD is an immersive documentary experience that opens a rare window into the visionary world of the legendary Jamaican producer and reggae pioneer Lee "Scratch" Perry. This film follows Perry in a late creative phase of his life and captures him in intimate interviews, studio sessions, and spiritual moments, revealing how he fuses music, mysticism, and visual art into one unique artistic universe. Viewers are taken into his creative process, from improvised lyrics and eccentric performances to deep reflections on sound, politics, spirituality, and the history of reggae and dub. The documentary emphasizes Perry's role as an innovator of the studio-as-instrument concept, highlighting the experimental sound textures, tape manipulations, and pioneering production methods that made him a cult icon far beyond the reggae scene. The atmospheric camera work, archive material, and scenes from his colorful living and working environment create a dense portrait of an artist who continually reinvented himself and inspired generations of musicians worldwide. Megawave, the publisher of this DVD, is a niche-focused label that specializes in music-related films, documentaries, and performances. The company places particular emphasis on high-quality productions that illuminate the roots and global influence of genres such as reggae, jazz, world music, and experimental sounds. With releases that often spotlight visionary artists and culturally significant scenes, Megawave has earned a reputation among connoisseurs as a reliable source for carefully curated music documentaries and rare concert films that are difficult to find in mainstream distribution.
At the center of the film is Lee "Scratch" Perry, one of the most influential figures in reggae and dub history. As a producer, singer, and sonic architect, Perry helped shape the sound of modern reggae, especially through his work at the legendary Black Ark Studio in the 1970s. He collaborated with Bob Marley & The Wailers on seminal recordings, had major impact on albums for The Congos and Max Romeo, and paved the way for dub, remixes, and studio experimentation that later influenced punk, hip-hop, electronic music, and beyond. Perry is known for milestones such as producing "Police and Thieves," key early Wailers material, and a vast number of groundbreaking dub mixes whose echo- and reverb-drenched soundscapes became a cornerstone of Jamaican music. The documentary also features other notable contributors from the reggae and dub universe--musicians, producers, and cultural commentators who have shaped the genre through their own work and collaborations. Their perspectives underscore Perry's standing as a visionary whose influence reaches from Kingston's studios to European and American club culture. Without relying on myth-making, the film lets Perry's personality, his art, and the testimony of his peers speak for themselves, making this DVD a must-have for reggae enthusiasts, sound-production fans, and anyone interested in the deeper spiritual and cultural layers behind the music.
