#1292 Mr. Scruff - Friendly Bacteria

A hodgepodge of samples and electronic gestures that outlines a funky kind of synthetic soul music, but never ends up having much actual soul. Deep analog buzzes provide texture and grind, Denis Jones slinks about on a handful of tracks for slickness, horns and organs and upright bass do their darndest to breathe life - all the piece are there, but lightning never quite strikes, the beast never stirs 2.5/5
