Time Boom X De Devil Dead is an amazing album: dark, menacing, spacious, and moody. It's hard to choose which is Scratch's better collaboration with Adrian Sherwood, Time Boom or From The Secret Laboratory, but whichever one you prefer, this is definitely some of Scratch's best work since the Black Ark. As David Katz writes, Time Boom is "the result of a strong combination between two independent thinkers with keen ears, fast hands, and plenty of ideas". After hearing this album, its a shame that the Perry-Sherwood collaboration didn't last longer. The CD issue contains a few bonus tracks: two additional mixes of "Jungle" and the Dub Syndicate track "Night Train" with a brief vocal by Scratch. Highly recommended.
