Keep It Unreal - 10th Anniversary Edition Remastered

the remastered version of mr scruff's 'keep it unreal' includes the hits 'get a move on', 'spandex man' and 'fish' plus six previously unreleased tracks. andrew carthy is one of the zanier beatsmiths. he's an obsessive collector of audio esoterica and a cartoonist with a charmingly childlike line in scribble. as mr scruff, he combines both sensibilities to people his musical world. 'keep it unreal' is so overstuffed with quirky beats and pieces that 'keep it surreal' might have been more appropriate. like labelmates amon tobin and coldcut, mr scruff plunders his vast record collection for funk, soul, exotica, and jazz samples with kleptomaniac glee.
