Scientist Meets the Space Invaders is a 1981 album by the dub musician Scientist.
The album was produced by Mickie "Roots" Scott and Linval Thompson. The recording was done at Channel One Studios backed by the Roots Radics, and mixed at King Tubby's. The recording was by Stanley "Barnabas" Bryan, Anthony "Crucial Bunny" Graham and Maxwell "Maxie" McKenzie. The cover artwork is by Tony McDermott.
The tracks that formed the basis of the album were Thompson productions including Wayne Wade's "Poor and Humble" ("Cloning Process"), and Johnny Osbourne's "Kiss Somebody" ("Quasar").[1]
Reviewing for AllMusic, Stephen Cook regarded the album as a "great dub" record and among Scientist's "essential" albums. Fellow critic Tom Hull called it "one of the more legendary" recordings in which Scientist "orchestrated dozens of mythic battles, encounters, and jams ... although it feels like something he could do dozens of times."
