das album aus dem jahre 1978 ist als lp-vinyl in limitierter auflage für kurze zeit wieder erhältlich! -return of the super ape- ist der abschluss der trilogie von den drei lps -scratch the super ape- (aka -super ape-) und -roast fish & cornbread- im zeitraum 1976 bis 1978 und wurde wie seine vorgänger in lee perrys studio the black ark produziert, arrangiert und abgemischt. die zehn stücke wurden mit dem musikern der upsetters eingespielt, die seinerzeit auch als interpret genannt wurden - auf den beiden songs -dyon-anasaw- und -tell me something good- kommt das gesangstrio full experience mit candy mckenzie zum einsatz. das frontcover wurde von lloyd robinson gestaltet und zeigt den riesenaffen als krass gebeutelte figur, die unter anderem das nachhaltig zerrüttete verhältnis von lee perry mit chris blackwell (island records) zum ausdruck bringen könnte.

the first spinning plates ep back in february was picked up by print media and radio tastemakers from ra and dj mag to b.traits and moxie, whilst djs as diverse as ivan smagghe and francois k slotted it into their dj bags. as such there has been much demand for a second release, and now it arrives in the form of a fascinating split ep from scene veteran andy rantzen and relative newcomer bruno schmidt, who helps a&r for the label. in fact it was bruno who came across andy’s tracks during a late night youtube session. andy, who remixed inxs and severed heads back in the day and is a sydney based producer who has been active for three decades, had upped a load of his old demos to youtube in the faint hope that one day someone might find them. and damn are we happy he did, because they are brilliant affairs that sound like little else. for his part, bruno has been a louche resident and hifi creator alongside andrew james gustav and gwenan and delivers an exceptional stripped down late night trip/early morning trip.
