the upsetter - Chim Cherie
The Upsetters' 'Chim Cherie' is a veritable holy grail of reggae music. It marks a pivotal moment in Jamaican music when the first drum machine arrived and this is the result of its very first use. The programming was handled by Familyman Barrett and his brother, and welded onto The Upsetters' version of 'Billie Jean' in the hands of one Lee "Scratch" Perry. The dub sounds much heavier than the original, yet they both suffer from tape degradation which lends the whole things in incredible, hazy quality. 'Chim Cherie' marked a turning point for so much electronic dance music whose roots lie in the movements of Jamaican studios over 30 years ago, this is just about as crucial as it gets.
