Beastie Boys:
"[Perry] said he wanted to overdub and he just recorded some tracks coughing and going mrraangh and making all these pig sounds and ad-libbing. And Mario [Caldato] - he was really subtle about it - was like, 'I really like on your records when you do percussion stuff.' So Lee Perry got up, grabbed these shakers and rattle, and just started shaking tons of stuff" - Adam Yauch, 1998

"In the studio, Lee 'Scratch' Perry listened halfway through the track; unrolled a tour poster on the back of which he'd already scratched out lyrics, theories and diagrams; and quickly got on the mike to celebrate voodoo, science, Jesus of Nazareth and 'the Beastly Brothers, and the Beastly Boys, with their beastly toys, they give ya some beastly joys'"- Rolling Stone, 1998
"...a serene-if-giggly, Yoda-like benediction" - The Worcester Phoenix, July 1998
