"This could be a
good joke, I like it..." Black Ark Experryments is a very good
album that is perhaps Scratch's best work since From The Secret Laboratory.
The Professor's rhythms range from fast and furious to ethereal, and the
Super Ape is in a good shape as he delivers high speed raps about everything
from The Clash to William Shakespeare. Killers include "Thank You", which
contains a humorous phone call intro, the dizzying, eleven minute "Super
Ape In A Good Shape" and "Poop Song", a ranting disco jam where Scratch
carries on like someone out of the Old Testament inna dancehall. (Mick
Sleeper, ca.2000)
