Jungle mixes by Douggie Digital and Juggler. Dub mixes by Mad Professor.
Not to be confused with Lee "Scratch" Perry's 1976 release on Mango entitled SUPER APE, nor with that album's 1978 sequel, RETURN OF THE SUPER APE, nor even with the sequel's expanded and remixed reissue THE ORIGINAL SUPER APE, SUPER APE INNA JUNGLE is a 1995 collaboration with The Mad Professor, Dougie Digital, and Juggler. As the title suggests, this album places Perry in the then-fashionable offshoot of house music known as jungle that was defined by its mind-bogglingly fast beats and heavy electronics. As Perry's vocal contributions are delivered in his usual lazy, unhurried murmur, the contrast is often slightly jarring, yet the title track, "Why Complaining" and the self-mythologizing "I Am Not a Human Being" are typically weird and wonderful. As is usually the case with their collaborations, the Mad Professor takes the lion's share of production and mixing duties, and Perry handles the vocals and a few of the instruments.
