A follow-up to the highly acclaimed dub opus Super Ape, Return of the Super Ape, like most sequels, never reaches the heights of its predecessor. However, there are some exceptional moments that make the album worth a careful listen. Most notable are the dark Psyche and Trim, and the celebratory Dyon-Anaswa, and the near-comical Tell Me Something Good. Still, the album showcases the prodigious production skills of undisputed dub master Lee “Scratch” Perry's insanely layered textures and technical wizardry. With the Upsetters providing deft musical backing, Perry leads the listener through a surreal world of psychedelic Rastafarianism with lyrics like “We gotta get the vampire, we got to put him on a wire... Jah Jah is a natty dread.” Relentless, ganja-stoked basslines and eerie echoes punctuate all the tracks.
