I first heard the track "I Am A Psychiatrist" on my Sirius satellite radio, and I was immediately hooked! This track is so BOMB (good) that I wanted to buy the cd immediately. I listened to samples of the rest of the disc at my local record store with equal approval. While many fans consider Scratch an icon in reggae music, I have generally been disappointed with a lot of his works (bad production values, inane lyrics, forgettable stuff). Not so with this one. I believe that reggae music fans in general and Scratch fans in particular will find favor with this offering.

Panic In Babylon is solid and strong, some of the best reggae Scratch has made in decades! On the main CD there are no dubs, only vocal tracks...so be warned if you prefer your reggae vocal-free...but in spite of that, each and every track is EXCELLENT...strong musically and interesting lyrics throughout. Clean crisp bass...mysterious melodies. This is a terrific work from the Upsetter!

'Voodoo' is the gem for me. I heard it on a website I was visiting and knew I had to have it. I'm not a huge reggae person either, but this is great dub/chill music and I love the whole CD.

Its may Perrys favorite album, im a psychiatrist or fight to the finish - best dub reggae songs ever!!
