Trouser Jazz - Mr. Scruff

Its sort of electronic funky jazz. Mostly. Lots of other bits get a look in here and there.

I found this album by mistake. In fact I found ninja tune by mistake, hunting U.N.K.L.E mp3s found me Coldcut, which led me onto ninja tune. But enough of that, I could talk about the random ways I find good tunes for hours.
Of course, downloading mp3s is illegal and amoral. You might as well put babies on spikes, you criminal.

...its length, but its around about an hour. Not as long as some, but not the cheeky shortness of system of a down's latest offering. 13 tracks, of which some are great and the rest are fantastic. The one about the whale tells a good story.

So. The album. I haven't measured its length, but its around about an hour. Not as long as some, but not the cheeky shortness of system of a down's latest offering. 13 tracks, of which some are great and the rest are fantastic. The one about the whale tells a good story.

You'll find yourself listening and trying to remember where you recognise the songs from. Adverts. Adverts are full of ninja tune songs, because they sound good and often have lots of looped bits that last about as long as an add. This isn't as much of a culprit there though, Mr. Scruff keeps things moving.

Finding it in music stores can be confusing. Turns out it comes under the blanket rating of dance music to most of them, as does all of the ninja tune stuff.

So. If you are a scruff fan already, you probably have this album. If you're a beginner, I recommend this as a first scruff album. Even as a first ninja tune album, as long as you twin it with something from the herbaliser, but that would be another review.

Its normally cheap too. I bought it because it was £7.50 and came with a free CD sampler in tower records.
