Mr Scruff - Friendly Bacteria (2014)

Source: dustandgrooves.com
Mr Scruff is a genius. Really. And a vinyl lover. These facts made him a VIP of hangolo. :) This year he released his 5th album, Friendly Bacteria at Ninja Tune. I can't say a bad word.

Denis Jones gave his vocal for many tracks: Stereo Breath, Render Me, Thought to the Meaning or in the jazzy Catch Sound. They sound like Mr Oizo asked for Mike Patton to make something new for the audience. Sound unfamiliar, right? But Denis Jones and Mr Scruff nailed it. Btw. Denis Jones's soulful voice is almost as great as Jamie Lidell's (check Jamie here).

I like those instruments that are like the sounds of guns from 70s sci-fi movies. Mr Scruff have a mysterious recipe for making music: he puts an idea in front of you but he did something weird too. And that is just excellent. You feel comfortable listening to his music while he surprises little offbeat solutions. Listen to Render me or Deliverance and you'll get it.
Of course Mr Scruff delivers his wobble stuff too (in What) and he doesn't forget hiphop tradition, for example the song Friendly Bacteria is a fatty, messed-up sci-fi hiphop beat.
If you are more into 2-step/UK garage tempo, you can be satisfied with Come Find Me (feat. Vanessa Freeman). You are welcome, Sir.
Do you remember Max Graef? If you like him, try his Mr Scruff version in Where am I.

Summary: The album Friendly Bacteria is a unique, mature, quite hard-to-digest music but believe me: the more time you devote to listen to it, the more benefit you get. Get the whole album HERE
