Lee Perry is a towering figure in reggae , some call him a genius, others claim he's a madman. Truth is, he's both, but more importantly, -- a producer, mixer, and songwriter who, along with King Tubby, helped shape the sound of dub and made reggae music such a powerful part of the pop music world.

King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock) Born January 28th 1941, he is known primarily for his influence on the development of dub in the 1960s. In the 1950s, King Tubby's musical career began with the sound systems, set up on the streets of Kingston and playing dance music for the people. As a radio repairman, Tubby soon became quite helpful at most of the sound systems around.
Tubby began working with Arthur "Duke" Reid in 1968. At Treasure Isle, a studio, Tubby began making remixes of hit songs, usually by simply removing the vocals. In time, Tubby (and others) began shifting the emphasis in the instrumentals, adding sounds and removing others and adding various special effects, like echoes. By 1971, Tubby's soundsystem was one of the most popular in Kingston and he decided to open a studio of his own. His remixes soon proved enormously popular, and he became one of the biggest celebrities in Jamaica.
During the 1970s, Tubby's work in the studio gave rise to modern dub music. He had a long string of hit songs, and worked as a producer for some of Jamaica's most popular artists, including Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, Augustus Pablo and Yabby You. In 1973, he began recording vocals to put along the instrumentals. By the later part of the decade though, King Tubby had mostly retired from music, still occasionally recording remixes and tutoring a new generation of artists, including King Jammy and Scientist. In the 1980s, he focused on production for Anthony Red Rose, Sugar Minott and other popular musicians. He was shot and killed by unknown persons, probably in a robbery attempt, in 1989, February 06th.
Errol Thompson, better known as "ET" (December 29, 1948 – November 13, 2004) was a record producer, audio engineer, and one of the first studio engineers to be involved in dub music. He was fellow producer Joe Gibbs's partner—the two were known collectively as the Mighty Two. In the 1970s he worked (along with Niney) as an engineer at Randy's Studio 17, in Kingston, Jamaica. Later in life he moved away from the music industry, and managed a supermarket in North Parade, downtown Kingston.Thompson died after numerous strokes on November 13, 2004, at the age of 55.
This 2000 release was sourced from old work as King Tubby had been dead since 89 some loose freestyle dub going on.

Mad Professor is one of the grand kings of Dub. He's old school with over 20 albums and has worked with a lot of the reggae greats including Lee 'Scratch' Perry, either on joining projects or by simply laying down beats. Mad Professor remixed a whole album by Massive Attack. He also runs the Ariwa label.
Lee Perry (Rainford Hugh Perry) Born on Mar 20, 1936 in St. Mary's, Jamaica. First called "Little" Perry, in reference to his height of 4'11" (1.5m), he was a major founder of Reggae and Dub. First working with ska, he cut his first record in 1959. Along with producing some of the most influential acts (Bob Marley & the Wailers and the Congos to name but two) in reggae history, Perry's approach to production and dub mixing was breathtakingly innovative and audacious -- no one else sounds like him -- others may have invented dub, many argue that no one experimented with it or took it further than did Lee Perry.
Here the two masters get together with two youngsters, Douggie Digital & Juggler, Dub meets Drum & Bass result mad Jungle. The old masters have made plenty of albums together, this cut proves they don't shy away from experimenting, although towards the second half of the album things get more relaxed.. As for the title there's more super ape where this came from...
