Record of the Week: Mr Scruff 'Ninja Tuna'



This week I was torn between a happy dancy funky album and a sad and romantic one... But that's often the case for me, isn't that? I was delighted by the return of Anne Clark (12 years since her last record). Her album is full of poetry ('The Hardest Heart') but also filled with nostalgia and darkness ('Waiting') An album of passion, or loss of. Listen to the amazing 'Psalm' an ode to the ultimate love.
Even though Anne's album will probably have a longer lasting impact on me I'll try to promote something lighter and make the long awaited Mr Scruff (6 years since the last one) record of the week. It has to be noted that I also chose to elect an album I will not really purchase (not in its album form). In fact, all the tracks from this album are being issued on separate 12" and my love for vinyl is dictating me to grab these four or five slabs.
