Product Description
Almost impossibly rare debut album from broken beat meisterAndrew Carthy, originally released on the minuscule Pleasure Records in 1997. Now reissued by Ninja Tune, the album, while quite basic by his later standards, shows the evolution of his sound through dub inflected trip-hop punctuated with ethnic beats and jazzy trumpet, and introduced his penchant for wacky song titles, such as the single 'Chicken In A Box'.

Customer Reviews
A must for Mr. Scruff lovers!! (or anyone...)
This CD gets better every time I listen to it. At first I wasn't sure of it, but I gave it the listening Mr.Scruff deserves, and found that this album is actually great. This, being his first release, is quite experimental, Scruff finding his feet, quite diverse, very interesting development, I actually prefer this to 'Trouser Jazz', his lastest album.
The opening song 'sea mammle' is a bouncy catchy tune which I think opens the album well. The second song 'Tubby Mechanical Friend' is less bouncy, more chilled, then 'Bass Baby' brings the album alive, into full swing, (turn the bass up to full!!) 'chicken in a box' is a fun tune that follows well, and is a scruff classic, again turn up the bass and dance! 'Night Time' 'Limbic Funk'are happy litlle numbers to get your toes wiggling! 'Bobby's Jazz Pony', along with 'Crips' are may favourite tracks on this album, spacy tunes that are good for chilling out to, and with 'Jazz Potato' in between them, it is the perfect way to end this CD.
A must for any Mr.Scruff fan.
Bit of a let down...
Compared to the excellence of 'Trouser Jazz',and 'Keep it unreal', this album is a real let down. Aside from a couple of interesting tracks ('Chicken in a box' being the best),the rest is just a mixture of rather annoying noises stuck together.I was really looking forward to listening to this album, but after just one play, i think i'll stick to Mr Scruffs more defined, and interesting,later efforts.
