Get a Move On; sampling with an actual sense of humour
Mr. Scruff treats sampling as play and stops short of novelty. Keep It Unreal is loose, funny and full of small musical decisions that a tidier record would probably have polished away. Its personality lives in those rough edges.
№ 7 on The 10 Best Downtempo Albums
Manchester's most cheerful sample obsessive. Get a Move On is the famous one and the record around it is deeper, funnier and more musically curious than the cartoon sleeves prepared anyone for.
