Mixed at King Tubby’s legendary studio, the album finds Scientist reimagining rhythms laid down by Roots Radics, firing them into outer space with cavernous reverb, razor-sharp dropouts and cosmic effects that push reggae’s boundaries far beyond earth’s orbit. Each track feels like a battle between echo and bassline, with the engineer conducting his console like a spacecraft.

Scientist Meets The Space Invaders remains one of his most celebrated works — a cornerstone of dub music and an album that continues to inspire generations of producers, from roots reggae disciples to electronic pioneers searching for new dimensions in sound. This reissue restores the timeless clash of roots culture and intergalactic imagination in all its heavyweight glory.
