Mr Scruff : Remixes 1995-1996
Label : Ninja Tune
Site officiel : www.mrscruff.com
Dates de sortie : 1995-1996
Sabres Of Paradise : "Wilmot Meets Lord Scruffage" on "Wilmot II", (10", Warp, 1994)
|
|
Tracklisting : Wilmot Meets Lord Scruffage / Wilmo's Last Skank
|
Dj Food : "Ninja Tune Megamix" (Mr Scruff) on "Refried Food Pts. 5 And 6", (2x12", Ninja Tune, 1996.02)
|
|
Rien d'extraordinaire dans ce megamix jungle djfoodesque. Mais ça reste un track rigolo, comme pas mal des prods de Mr Scruff. Pas transcendant ni indispensable, en tous cas..

Lamb : "Gold (Mr Scruff remix)" (Fontana, 1996.03)
|
|
Lamb étant à la base un ersatz de Portishead, Mr Scruff se retrouve bien embèté à cachetonner chez Mercury avec ce remix de "Gold", titre pas massif du tout. Mais finalement, il ne s'en sort pas trop mal en virant pas mal la voix nasillarde de la chanteuse, et en dérivant paisiblement sur des paysages trip-hop-isants.

Moloko : "Fun For Me (Mr Scruff Mix)" on "Fun For Me", 12"/CDS (Echo Records, 1996.03)
|
|
La version originale... comment dire? Au secours, c'est Moloko!!! Formatté radios FM, MTV et tout le tintouin, voilà du bon gros tube radio insupportable. Pour les remixes, allez on se paie Herbert, Mr Scruff et quelques autres... et tout ce petit monde de se retrouver dans le studio à bosser leur remixation gentille et pas trop délirante siouplait de "Fun For Me". C'est Chrysalis (EMI) qui régale alors forcément pourquoi se priver d'un bon cacheton et du'n peu d'exposition? Parce que la chanson est naze? Oui, c'est vrai il y a ça quand même... Pour les collectionneurs acharnés qui auront le droit en bonus à une version instru, presque décente, en bonus sur le single.

Yam Yam : "The spectacle (Mr Scruff remix)" on "One Tree Island" (Nation, 1996.04)
|
|
Mr Scruff à Ibiza? C'est un peu ça... Yam Yam (groupe inconnu à mon portillon) se retrouve remixé version "trippy downtempo beach house vibes & beats" et voilà un nouveau classique de Scruffisé. A quand la compile des inédits et remixes de Mr Scruff? Il serait temps...

Nightmares On Wax : "Gambia Via Vagator Beach (Mr Scruff Mix)" on "Blech II: Blechsdottir", CD (Warp); on "Still Smokin", CD5" (Warp, 1996.04); on "Elektra - Future Now!, 2xCD" (Sony Music Entertainment (Belgium)); on "Still Smokin' 1", 12" (Warp)
|
|
L'original, "Gambia via Vagator Beach", est en fait le titre qui concluait le mythique et toujours inégalé second album des Nightmares On Wax, "Smoker's delight", et aurait très bien pu s'appeler "Nights Outrolude", en référence au track d'ouverture, l'archi-compilé "Nights Interlude", dont on aurait tort de se priver. Le remix de Mr Scruff, lui, n'a plus rien à voir avec le "Nights" en question, et on comprend qu'il ait été compilé à outrance lui aussi: de l'abstract drum'n'hop aussi originale que ça, ça vaut de l'or.

Dub Syndicate : "Mafia (Mr Scruff remix)" on "Research And Development" (CD, On-U-Sound, 1996.07)
|
|
Tracklisting: Dubadisababa (Soundclash remix) / 2001 Love (Iration Steppas remix) / Bedward (Zion Train remix) / The Only Alternative (Dub Syndicate mix) / Can't Take It Easy (Dave Ruffy/Seggs Ruts DC remix) / Jungle (Disciples remix) / Mafia (DJ Scruff remix) / 2003 Struggle (Dougie Wardrop/Centry remix) / Jamaican Jig (Abashanti remix) / Hey Ho (Tribal Drift remix) / Ravi Shankar (Rootsman remix)

Discrètement présent sur cette compilation de remixes de Dub Syndicate sous le nom de Dr Scruff, Mister se la joue Vladimir Cosma rasta au vocoder sur la voix de Bim Sherman, présent en guest sur la version d'origine de Dub Syndicate (à la base une cover de Lloyd Parks)...
Note remix reggae à 6 feuilles, plutôt fun : (Djouls) |
Audioweb : "Sleeper (Mr Scruff remix)" (Mother 1996.08)
|
|
Autant la version originale est horripilante en moins de 10 secondes, autant ce remix démarre lui plutôt bien... La pop survitaminée, dopée, d'Audioweb subit ici un traitement dub assez radical, minimaliste et fort bien troussé.

Strangebrew : "Dream Theory (Mr Scruff Remix)" on "Are You Who?", 2x12" (Pleasure Music, 1996.09)
Archive : "So few words (Mr Scruff remix)" (Island, 1996.09, unreleased)
Crustation : "Purple (Mr Scruff Remix)" (Jive, 1996.09)
Snooze : "Middle Class (Mr Scruff Remix)" (SSR, 1996.10)
Barren : "Orang (Mr Scruff Remix)" (Echo, 1996.10, unreleased)
Red Snapper : "Thomas The Fib (remix by Mr Scruff)" on "Loopascoopa", CD5"/2x12" (Warp, 1996.10)
|
|
Désolé mais là je préfère largement l'orginal, extrait de l'album "Prince Blimey"... Même si les petites percus du Scruff sont fort sympatiques, et le remix carrément triphopisant, il dévalorise l'original beaucoup plus blues-pop.

James Bong : "I don't feel well (Mr Scruff Remix)" (2 Kool, 1996.11, released on "The Main Ingredient" LP/CD, Fat City, 2000.04)
|
|
Ça commence comme du Oncenfou, bien barré à souhait, ultra-exagéré (12 personnes qui toussent en background pendant que le docteur se présente... en allemand), puis ça part en Scrufferie très vite: petite mélodie récurrente au piano, breakbeat moelleux, samples et scratches asurdo-improbables, ça fait des bulles tout comme on aime. Mais c'est bien débile, faut l'avouer.!
