Label : Pleasure Music
Date de sortie : 05.1997
|
|
Tracklist 2xLP: Jazz Potato / Wail / Crisps / Bonce / Jazz Potato (N.O.W. Remix) / Crisps (Strangebrew Remix) / Chicken In A Box
Tracklist CD: Sea mammal / Tubby mechanical friend / Bass baby / Chicken in a box / Night time / Limbic funk / Bobbys jazz pony / Jazz potato / Crisps / Wail
01. Sea Mammal: Digital trip-ragga-hop pas bien méchant mais sympathique; en hommage aux prods Boogie Down...
02. Tubby Mechanical Friend: Trip hop pas renversant.
03. Bass Baby: Brighton break-beats, pas vraiment Big Beat Normancookesque, plutôt la version cartoon trip hop de la chose. Mr Scruff, élevé au sampler?
04. Chicken In A Box: Se rapproche des travaux d'un Sidestepper ou d'un Up Bustle & Out, mélangeant allègrement flûte, tablas, ambiances Bristoliennes et basses dub, mais sans arriver à exprimer grand-chose à l'arrivée... Une agréable séance d'expérimentation de samples, mais peu aboutie. Dommage.
05. Night Time: Que personne ne s'endorme! Une fois de plus le trip hop jazzy est à l'honneur, la prog de batterie, presque jungle est intéressante, mais derrière, il ne se passe pas grand chose, quelques cordes et cuivres qui ont l'air extraits d'un téléfilm de M6, bof...
06. Limbic Funk: hum, oui, ça me gratouille là où ça me chatouille, "arms, legs, everywhere"... Voilà un titre râpeux à souhait, un véritable exercice de déconstruction/réassemblage de samples toonesques comme seul Mr Scruff en a le secret. A enchaîner avec un Kid Koala de derrière les fagots, ce qui n'est pas peu dire!
07. Bobby's Jazz Pony: ambient cinematographic trip hop basique. Il ne se passe pas grand-chose...
08. Jazz Potato: Bon track chilloutesque à compiler... à l'époque! Il évoque inéluctablement le "Nights interlude" de Nightmares On Wax sans en atteindre l'excellence, mais il existe aussi un remix de N.O.W. de ce "Jazz Potato", qui doit par conséquent valoir son pesant de cacahouètes fumeuses...
09. Crisps: Dubby UK breakbeat assez imparable. Entre un "Clubbed to death" et un "Stem" (Dj Shadow), version grand public.
10. Wail: somniphère hiphopisant pas désagrable.
En 1997 quand sort ce premier album, Mo'Wax a déjà sorti ses compilations "Headz", "Headz 2a" et "Headz 2b", et ce "Mr Scruff" trop gentil, trop propre, trop tranquille diront les loftiens, ne marque pas l'histoire. A tel point qu'aujourd'hui lorsque sort le "Trouser Jazz", deuxième album chez Ninja Tune, toutes les critiques s'empressent de le comparer au précédent, "Keep it unreal", décrit lui comme étant le premier album de Mr Scruff... Ah les journaleux qui ne font aucune recherche et qui de toutes façons n'y connaissent rien! Ah la presse musicale française! Hein? Oui vous avez raison, "quelle presse musicale?". En effet, il n'y en a pas. Ce "Mr Scruff" de 1997 sorti chez Pleasure (label de J-Walk!) est pourtant bien son premier album, et on saisit mieux tous les progrès qu'a pu faire le bonhomme depuis en réécoutant le suivant, "Keep it unreal", sous-estimé à sa sortie par son manque d'unité, et puis du coup on file se choper le troisième, "Trouser Jazz", en attendant la suite....
