Lee “Scratch” Perry and Adrian Sherwood will release a companion to their Rainford album, featuring Brian Eno and Vin Gordon of The Wailers.

Heavy Rain is described as a “radical bass heavy re-version” of the Rainford original tapes. As well as highlighting the deft musicianship of the original backing band on the Rainford sessions, these re-works also invite further players into the cosmic mix.

Brian Eno features on “Here Come The Warm Dreads,” a heavily processed sound system overhaul of Rainford highlight “Makumba Rock,” cheekily re-titled as a nod to Eno’s own debut solo album.

Elsewhere, trombonist Vin Gordon, one of the hornsmen on Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus, lends his distinctively woozy blowing to tracks such as “Rattling Bones And Crowns” (a late-night fli-side to “Kill Them Dreams Money Worshippers”) and “Crickets In Moonlight” (“Cricket In The Moon” refracted through some beautifully louche late summer heat haze lens).

The album also features two originals, “Dreams Come True” and “Above And Beyond.”
