Recorded in Berlin over the last few months, The Observer At The Starhouse sparks with a rare magic as Dr Alex Paterson and long-time Orb member Thomas Fehlmann construct a panorama of stripped-down backdrops to provide the perfect backdrops for the Upsetter s inimitable pronouncements, righteous declarations and sweet vocals. The album's inception can be traced back to 2004 when Dr Paterson played a DJ and toaster set with Lee in Mexico. "I had an amazing time being that close to the great man," enthuses Dr. Paterson. "I played a dub set, Earl 16 was Greg Dread's toaster, Mad Professor had his ladies, then there was the legendary Lee Scratch Perry; he's a genius who expresses the future within the present times of anguish, hope and unity."
