Mr Scruff : "Hocus Pocus EP" (12" ROB 37, Robs Records 1995.03)
|
|
Tracks: Hocus Pocus / Sea Mammal / Stompin' / Hocus Pocus (Seed Remix)
En 1995, Andy Carthy, jeune Dj fan d'electro qui se fait des cassettes à coup de bouton pause depuis tout petit déjà, sort son premier maxi sous l'espiègle pseudo Mr Scruff chez Robs Records, le label de l'ancien manager de New Order. Le son est alors loin des dernières prods Ninja Tune de Mr Scruff, mais tout l'esprit est déjà là. Ça part direct en electro-funk et cut-up de samples effréné ("Hocus Pocus"), puis propose modestement un electro-dub amusant ("Sea mammal") et détendant comme un bon massage de Sumo (essayez!). Sur "Stompin'", en face B, Mr Scruff est swinguant et pitcheur (c'est plus rigolo), inventif et iconoclaste, pop et psychédélique, il fait étalages de tous ses talents en 3-4 minutes. "Have the people stompin' to my beat!": un bel exercice de style electro tout en scratches et cut-up. Le maxi se clôt par un remix de "Hocus Pocus" (par "Seed"?) qui aurait bien sa place aujourd'hui à côté des dernières sorties abstract low-fi hip hop Warp & co. (cLOUDEAD, Anti-Pop Consortium, Boom Bip & Dose One, Prefuse 73). Une voie que Mr Scruff n'a plus emprunté depuis...

Mr Scruff : "The Frolic EP (Part 1)" (12" JOY04, Pleasure Music 1995.10)
|
|
Tracks: Bass Baby / Scrough / Chicken in a Box
01 Bass Baby: Brighton break-beats, pas vraiment Big Beat Normancookesque, plutôt la version cartoon trip hop de la chose. Mr Scruff, élevé au sampler?
02 Scrough: Pas entendu, pas trouvé en MP3 :-((
03 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.

Mr Scruff : "Frolic EP (Part 2)" (12" JOY08, Pleasure Music 1996.02)
|
|
Tracks: Chicken In A Box (Remix) / Sea Mammal (Votel Remix) / Tubby Mechanical Fiend / Slug Beats
01 Chicken in A box (remix): Oui bon ben bof. Jazzyfiant, triphopisant et lénifiant. L'original est plus intéressant: un remix inutile (et longuet).
02 Sea Mammal (Andy Votel remix): Pas entendu, mais il parait que ce remix vaut le détour. Mr Scruff + Andy Votel en effet c'est allèchant. A dégoter en MP3...
03 Tubby Mechanical Friend: Trip hop pas renversant.
04 Slug beats: Pas entendu, pas trouvé en MP3 :-((

Mr Scruff : "Limbic Funk" EP (12" JOY10, Pleasure Music, 1996.07)
|
|
Tracks: Limbic Funk / Bobby's Jazz Pony / Night Time / After Time
|
Mr Scruff & Mark Rae : "How sweet it is" & "Gotta have her" sur "Central Heating" (compilation Grand Central. 1996.11)
|
|
CD1, track 02. Mr Scruff & Mark Rae - How sweet it is
Trip hop enfumé, très anglais, très agréable mais une fois de plus pas du tout indispensable.
CD2, track 06. Mr Scruff & Mark Rae - Gotta have her
On est en plein dans l'ultra-chill! Bonne nuit les petits...

Mr Scruff : "Large Pies EP" (2x12" COT 040, Cup Of Tea 1997.04)
|
|
Tracks: Mexicanos / Large Pies / Naughty Mouse Mice At The Organ / Large Pies (Ratman Remix)
01 Mexicanos: Cut Of Tea, label de Bristol qui n'aura vécu que le temps de la mode du trip hop, aura quand même hébergé Mr Scruff, Monk & Canatella et quelques autres iconoclastes de la scène que personne n'a compris à l'époque et que tout le monde a un peu oublié depuis... C'est malheureux, mais c'est le showbizz. Le troisième album des Monk & Canatella, on l'attend encore, sans désesperer, mais revenons plutôt sur cet EP Scruffien. "Mexicanos" manque d'une véritable mélodie, pourtant la prog et les breaks sont bien terribles! De la jungle ralentie qui mériterait bien son petit remix, histoire d'y ajouter voix ou guitare, enfin juste un petit gimmick de plus qui aurait pu faire de ce track une bonne grosse tuerie danceflooresque!
02 Large Pies: Attention ce n'est pas du trip hop (pour une fois...), au bout de 2mn40, le track part en big beat jungle-isant jazzo-oriental... Des "Large Pies" épicées, donc. Il suffirait juste que Mr Scruff se calme un peu avec ses cuivres à la Blues Trottoir!
03 Naughty Mouse Mice At The Organ: Trip hop classique, classieux, même. A compiler! Ah non, c'est déjà trop tard: on retrouve ce track dans la troisième compile de la série "Freestyle Files" ("New beat science"), chez !K7...
04 Large Pies (Ratman remix): Remix Drum'n'Bass sans intérêt (il ne se passe quasiment rien)..

|
|
Tracks: Pigeon / Pigeon (Flying Vermin Mix)

Mr Scruff featuring Spikey T : "Is It Worth It" (12" GC115, Grand Central Records 1997.06)
|
|
Tracks: Is It Worth It (Vocal Mix) / Is It Worth It (Instrumental) / How Sweet It Is (with Mark Rae) / Is It Worth It (Manasseh Dub)
|
Mr Scruff & Dj Spooky "Murderahstyle" on "Tribal Gathering" compilation (Cleopatra, 1997.11)
|
|
Illbient breakbeat dub funky: un bien bel inédit Scruffien en collaboration avec le déjanté Dj Spooky. On croit tenir là la version originale de la petite bombe "Following the noughties" de J-Walk sorti en 2000 chez Grand Central (sur "Central Heating 2")!
